We grabbed one of the semi-finalists Kevin "kRYSTAL" Amend to talk about PENTA changing two players a few weeks before the PGL Minor, their triple comeback on the three maps that they won, and expectations going into playoffs.

PENTA started off with a comeback on de_cache against LDLC White, who were up 12-6 at one point, but they couldn't match up E-frag.net's speed in the winners' match afterwards.

Then they faced off against what was the surprise of the tournament at that time already, CG, and lost de_overpass in a one-sided affair. They were facing multiple match points on de_cache, but managed to pull through in the end, and topped it off with a huge comeback from a 5-14 deficit on the decider, de_dust2.

In the following interview Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend talks about PENTA changing a couple of players only weeks before the tournament, their overall preparation, the six maps they have played so far, and the semi-finals ahead.
