“Show that AS Monaco can shine in eLigue1”
A few days before the start of eLigue1, the coach of the Esports team gave us an interview to discuss the competition and the objectives of AdRXx and RayZiaaH.
eLigue1 is making a comeback! After a rather successful start to the season of RayZiaaH and AdrXx, AS Monaco Esports is preparing to start its virtual French championship with a first meeting against Troyes this Wednesday (6:45 p.m.). In case of difficulty of the previous edition with no victory obtained, the Club arrives with a revengeful state of mind. Before kick-off, focus on the format and the issues with coach Imad Mihoubi, alias ID Kun. Interview.

I’m quite happy with the results of our first qualifiers in #FUTCup with taking our first points. This is a very good thing done already. There can always be improvements but AdRXx did well and RayZiaaH was only one match away from the bracket.

Hello Imad. First of all, the team has had a good start to the season, that’s positiveโฆ
It’s true, it’s rather positive. I’m quite happy with the results of our first qualifiers in #FUTCup with taking our first points. This is a very good thing done already. There can always be improvements but AdRXx is a nice ranking and RayZiaaH was just one game away from the bracket.

They will therefore arrive in confidence for the start of eLigue1.
You always have to have confidence, regardless of the results, even if chaining victories is always good. The eLigue1 is in a few days, we are training for. We really have a lot to prove.
What is the state of mind of the players before this competition?
There is a lot of determination. With our history in this competition and the failure of last season, there is a desire for revenge, especially on the side of RayZiaaH. AdRXx has also joined in and is aware of what has happened and he wants to fly the Club’s colors high to show that AS Monaco can shine in this competition. The guys are training for and we hope to do a lot better than last season.
There, we know the guys so we can do gameplay analysis. There is a lot of preparation there. But the most important thing is to play, analyze and question yourself. We play a lot of friendly matches against professional players. The qualifiers came at the right time because it allows us to get into the swing of things before the competition.

How is the preparation going?
With eLigue1, we know all the teams and rosters. It’s not like the qualifiers which are open to all of Europe and where no names can beat players of a good level. There, we know the guys so we can do gameplay analysis. There is a lot of preparation there.
But the most important thing is to play, analyze and question yourself. We play a lot of friendly matches against professional players. The qualifiers came at the right time because it allows us to get into the swing of things before the competition.
60-0

The format will change slightly since all victories will now earn a point. Does this change anything in the approach?
Not especially. We now know that the 2v2 is confirmed in all cases. Last year it was almost the same format except that it was optional depending on the results of the two 1v1s. Its scope is therefore more substantial. We will do everything to get points in 2v2 because clearly, it was our flaw last season. We have often been confronted with this decisive match and we have never won one.
At that time, I knew that it had to be worked on independently of a new format. On that, I see positive things since the beginning of the season with very good matches played. Even if we didn’t go all the way during the eClub pre-qualifiers, we weren’t really far for example. But this format is cool because every game counts now. The most important thing will be to win as much as possible to hope for the final stages.

Clermont, Troyes and Auxerre are new teams compared to last season. The competition is therefore developing more and more, which is good news.
It’s always cool to see that more and more clubs are playing the game and that structures are developing everywhere. But honestly, I would have especially liked to have offline like eFootball.Pro where players can watch each other. This puts a lot more spice on the contrary of when the players are each in their room. But having additional teams is always interesting because it creates emulation, there are new players. The League can only emerge grandiose.
With the approach of the great return of the@eLigue1UberEats, we tell you more about ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฬ๐๐๐๐๐๐! ๐ฅ

There are too many good players that we can’t even tell who will be the favourites. The reigning champions have changed their roster, this can redistribute the cards. There really are behemoths and the breeding ground in France is very impressive. Guessing which six teams will be in the playoffs is very difficult. The level is very consistent.

Among these, is there a team to be wary of?
There are so many big teams with a lot of very strong duos. Lorient has won the competition the last two seasons with โFoumaโ and โLeandroโ. But this year, the latter will no longer be there. There are too many good players that we can’t even tell who will be the favourites. The reigning champions have changed their roster, this can redistribute the cards.

AS Monaco will face Troyes this Wednesday for their first match. Can you tell us about this team?
We will play against the two brothers Mence and Rafsou who are in the same structure this year. They are two excellent players who are very well known in the FIFA scene. There is a closeness between them asked and when you get along well with your guy, it affects the field because you want to play for the other.
๐ฅ ESTAC is happy to announce the signing of ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ณ๐๐ผ๐ and ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ who are the first two players in the Trojan esports section! ๐ค

They are very strong like all the teams we will face but there is no specific preparation. Of course, we analyze players’ games when we have content for them. Everyone at an angry level, but us too since we showed from the beginning that we could have a good level in 2v2.
Let’s talk a bit about tactics. Which players will RayZiaaH and AdRXx field?
Everyone will pretty much have similar teams, as everyone knows who the best is. The goal will then be to optimize his games and his team. There may be some changes to some positions as some may prefer one player over another. Roughly 95%, you have the same team for everyone. But yes, we already know with which team we will compete.
In view of the last season, but it is to be in the playoffs and therefore to appear in the six. It will be difficult because there are a lot of very good teams. We want to show restraint since we had a complicated season last year. We also want to show that AS Monaco counts on the FIFA scene and we want to settle into a dynamic of being a big team in this game.

Finally, what are the goals for this season?
In view of the last season, but it is to be in the playoffs and therefore to appear in the six. It will be difficult because there are a lot of very good teams. We want to show restraint since we had a complicated season last year. We also want to show that AS Monaco counts on the FIFA scene and we want to settle into a dynamic of being a big team in this game. For that, it is absolutely necessary to prove it in eLigue1. But already, we want to get this first victory quickly to gain confidence.
