The South African player reflected on the difficult situation surrounding his team, Wildcard, after a disappointing exit from the FISSURE Playground 1. Sonic expressed his concerns about remaining with the team following their recent performance, particularly after a 2-0 loss to FURIA.

Sonic’s Departure Plans

Sonic noted that he had initially intended to join another team but was persuaded to stay with Wildcard to help stabilize the roster amid significant changes. He expressed his intent to guide the newer members of the team during this challenging phase, stating:

“I was supposed to go to a different team, I won’t say which, but Wildcard asked me to stay so we could retain the core. I was very disagreeing at first, but we came to an agreement mutually.”
(Translation: He was asked to remain with the team to help build a solid foundation despite his initial reluctance.)
Sonic acknowledged the emotional toll and rapid transition faced by newer players in such a turbulent environment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus and readiness going forward.

Looking Ahead

Currently ranked 44th globally, Wildcard is set to return home to compete in local qualifiers. Sonic aims to utilize this time effectively, working to prepare his team nonetheless:

“I’ll take things day by day, I still have a job to do… my job is to prepare this team as best as I can.”
(Translation: He is determined to guide the team through current challenges.)

The team’s future remains uncertain, with Sonic expressing his desire to support the roster development fully.
