KS “It’s hard but I think we’re figuring it out”

We met with Niklas "KS" Massierer at the 2019 Six Invitational to ask about their experience at the event and the remaining half of the Pro League.

KS has an impressive history in R6S attending almost every notable event since the beginning of Year 2. Firstly he played on PENTA Sports, now known as G2 Esports, at the Seasons 4 through 6 Pro League Finals, winning the first two. Following this, he joined 1UPeSports, later known as OrgLess and Mock-it for the 2018 Six Invitational, the Season 8 Finals and, most recently, the 2019 Six Invitational.

At this Major, his lineup of KS, ripz, Vale, Korey, Cry1NNN and Lazzo (their coach) surprised many as they took down one of the favourites, Team Liquid (7-2, 4-7, 8-6), before losing to them in a close rematch (6-8, 7-5, 5-7). Despite this performance, the roster is currently struggling in the Pro League as they sit in seventh place in the European region. This, however, hasn’t dissuaded the massive Ukrainian organisation of Natus Vincere to acquire the roster shortly after the Invitational.

Prior to this pickup, on the Saturday of the Six Invitational, we spoke to KS to ask about his thoughts on the rest of the event and their remaining Pro League matches:

How do you feel about your performance at the Six Invitationals?

Can you tell us what you have done to improve after a very weak start to the Season?

How’s it been bringing in that new personality of Cry1NNN into the roster?

Are you ready for Kaid and Nomad coming in during the next half of the Pro League?

What lessons have you taken away from your Invitational appearance?

Who do you think will win the 2019 Six Invitational?

Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans?
