VCT Americas Press Conference:
Boostio’s Confidence Amidst Doubts
Before the event, a press conference highlighted the presence of delegates from every team in the VCT Americas. Boostio, the newest member of 100 Thieves and the reigning champion of Valorant, took the opportunity to address the uncertainties surrounding his team. Despite facing difficulties in VCT Americas 2023, where 100 Thieves failed to secure a place in any international event and ended up in the lower bracket of the VCT Americas League, Boostio radiated unwavering confidence.
We have been getting doubted which I don’t care, I have been doubted my whole career. Even last year in the beginning like you just said, the year before that so. The doubting, people on twitter talking, saying that we are not as good, that does not bother me at all. I really don’t care.
Boostio remains unfazed by the pre-tournament discussions, despite questions about 100 Thieves being considered the weaker team in their group. With formidable opponents like Sentinels, Leviatán, and LOUD, doubts have been cast upon their abilities. However, Boostio’s response is one of resilience and indifference towards external opinions. He emphasizes that he doesn’t care about the doubts they have been receiving. Looking back at his career and past instances of skepticism, Boostio’s unwavering confidence shines through.
Boostio’s Vision for 100 Thieves
Boostio expressed his unwavering faith in 100 Thieves’ hidden potential as a dark horse in the upcoming tournament. Despite the skeptics, he highlighted the team’s exceptional skill level and drew parallels to the triumphant EG lineup from the previous year. Boostio’s unwavering confidence in the team’s capacity to equal or even surpass EG’s accomplishments relied on crucial elements such as teamwork, communication, and overall unity.
“I am very confident in our team for this next tournament. I really think that we could be the dark horse. This team has just as much or more skill level as EG last year. So if we figure out how to play together, communicate together, and have cohesion as a team we can be just as good as EG was last year and I am fully confident in that. So I think if we do play to our standard, we will be the dark horse and destroy everyone.”
