biguzera: "We can't make these kinds of mistakes against a great team"
paiN crowned their recent rise with a long-awaited arena appearance at PGL Cluj-Napoca after beating Astralis, Falcons, and Virtus.pro in the group stage, but their road was ended by the new-look MOUZ in the quarter-final.
"I feel that we could have won both maps," a disappointed Rodrigo "biguzera" Bittencourt told HLTV after the match against Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin's troops. "Right now, I just can't think about it."
Despite the close loss, the Brazilian captain remained upbeat about the team's future and stated that they just need to keep on grinding.
Commiserations on the loss. You got very close, but in the end, it wasn't to be. How do you feel after the game?
I feel that we could have won both maps. Right now, I just can't think about it.
A lot was said about you waiting six years to play in an arena. Are you sad that it ended so quickly?
Yeah, of course. We hate to lose, but we know that we just take it step by step. We cannot take two steps forward. We just have to think it was a great run for us, keep grinding, and doing more.
Do you think this is just the start of a very good year for paiN?
Yeah, of course. I hope so. I hope this year is going to be successful for us, and I hope that we can make more playoffs this year. And maybe we can win some tournaments.
There were some situations that we cannot lose, some clutches, and some mistakes

Talking about the series today. Did you expect them to pick Inferno? Because it hasn't been a very good map for them recently.
Actually, we were thinking about Dust2 and Inferno. We didn't know because I think if it was about us, it was going to be Inferno, but about them, it would be Dust2. But Dust2 is our pick as well, so they chose Inferno. It was kind of expected.
Then on Mirage, you had a great game. You aced in the pistol, but in the end, you weren't able to get it over the line. Why do you think that was? Was it just individuals not finding crucial multi-kills there in the end?
Yeah, there were some situations that we can't lose, some clutches, and some mistakes. We were playing against MOUZ, who are a great team, so we cannot make these kinds of mistakes against a great team. In this kind of event, playoffs, and this kind of stuff, we can't still be doing these kinds of things. We have to improve, grind, and be better next time.
I think some rounds that we can't be nervous in, we were

This was your first time in an arena, but your teammates are also very young and inexperienced. Do you think that they felt the pressure a bit more today?
I don't think so, everyone was calm and was playing very well. But I think some rounds that we can't be nervous in, we were.
