UCAM Bluerzor: "The regular season was kinda disappointing [...] We are a much better team than what we are showing in officials."

After finishing the regular season in fourth place with a 4-3 record, enter the LES Spring Playoffs knowing they still have more to show. Despite an inconsistent group stage, the veteran roster remains one of the most respected teams in the competition and will now face MKOI Academy in a crucial playoff series.

Ahead of the match, UCAM jungler Dániel "" Subicz spoke with Sheep Esports about the team's form, the lessons learned from their recent loss to MKOI, his long-standing connection to Spain, and his ambitions both with UCAM and the Hungarian national team.

Dániel “Bluerzor” Subicz: “For me, it's kind of disappointing, I would say, because I think we are a much better team than what we are showing in official games this season. At the end of the day, the regular season is whatever, you know. But for confidence, it's always better to finish top one or top two, especially if you can dominate the league. It's just a better feeling.

That said, it's still just the regular season. I think we can improve a lot from those games because the mistakes we make are very similar to the mistakes we usually make. We can definitely learn from them. So yeah, for sure it's disappointing, but in the end it's the playoffs that matter the most.

Bluerzor: The regular season is over now, and the playoffs are what matter most. I'm confident that's where everyone will see our true potential. We've worked together for a long time, and I believe we'll show our best level when it counts the most.

Bluerzor: I mean, for me personally, I think losing to opened our eyes on a lot of things, like how we were approaching the game and how we were playing the game. Because I think in that series they played better than us, but at the same time, I don't think we really showed our actual level or played the way we should play.

So I think it should be extra motivation for everyone. For sure it's extra motivation to beat them this week. In the end, losing against them wasn't the worst thing because it was still just a regular season game. Obviously winning would've been better for everyone's confidence, right?

But I think we can learn so much from that loss. We're going to work on it, and I'm confident that for playoffs those issues will be fixed. I'm pretty confident in my team, and I think we're going to beat them next time.

Bluerzor: I think it's a combination of both. Having the right mentality is the foundation. We need to be fully locked in and clear on how we want to approach the game and adapt to different situations. If our mindset is where it needs to be, I'm confident our gameplay will follow naturally. 

Bluerzor: Since I've been here, I feel like it's a really good group of people. Honestly, it feels like a family.

At the same time, everyone believes in the project. Nobody is giving up. We've had so many situations where games looked completely lost and we still kept fighting until the very end.

I think that's one of our biggest strengths. We never give up. We always keep going. There's a strong belief inside the team, and I think that can lead to great things.

Bluerzor: I just really like Spain, to be honest. I think it's one of my favorite countries. Everything is nice here: the people, the weather... there's always good weather outside.

The people are amazing and very kind. I also remember my first experience here. I played an offline tournament in Tenerife, and the crowd was crazy. And holy shit, it was insane.

So from the very beginning I had a really good experience here. At this point, Spain feels like a second home to me, I would say. I feel really comfortable here.

Bluerzor: Even if another region is considered stronger overall, that wasn't the most important factor for me. What matters is believing in the project, trusting the people around you, and having everyone committed to the same goal. If everyone is willing to work for it, I think you can succeed anywhere.

Bluerzor: I think the game has become much more focused on macro. When I started competing, it often felt like the better mechanical players would just win. If you clicked better and played your lane better, you could carry games.

Now Riot has added so many objectives and so many decisions around the map. Voidgrubs, Heralds, dragons, cross-map plays... there's always something happening.

I think League today is much more of a team game and a macro game than it used to be. Before, mechanics alone could win you games. Now that's much harder.

Bluerzor: Yeah, of course. My dream is still to play in the LEC. Honestly, I think I should've had my chance a long time ago, but I never got that opportunity. That's still one of my biggest motivations even now.

And besides that, I just love winning. It's an incredible feeling when you work hard for a long time and then finally achieve something. Winning a league is one of the best feelings in the world. That's why I'm still competing. I enjoy it. I enjoy the pressure and everything that comes with it.

Bluerzor: I think our roster is really solid, honestly. We have a lot of talented players, and I believe we have a good chance of doing well. It's hard to predict exactly where we'll finish, but I'm confident we'll make it through the online qualifiers and reach the offline event. That's my expectation right now.

Bluerzor: I just want to thank everyone for supporting us. I think UCAM is one of the best organizations in ERL scene right now, and it's really nice to be here. So thanks to everyone who's cheering for us and watching our games. We really appreciate it.”
