You’ve participated in all three Renegade Cup Monthlies so far, this time you were able to win the tournament. What gave you the edge over your Neon Dream competitors?
This time around, the Renegade Cup was our only focus, while during the other Renegade Cups we were also focussing on Gfinity. We’ve practiced a lot and played really well as a team this time around, and I think that is the reason why we were able to win.
“We played better individually this time around”
In the Rocketeers Thunderdome it seemed at times that your performance was a bit inconsistent. How did you manage to fix this for the Neon Dream?
We practiced a lot lately and focussed on our issues. I also feel like we just played better individually this time around.
Who was your toughest opponent over the course of the tournament?
Savage was by far our toughest opponent in this tournament.
“Savage is an amazing team”
You had to face Savage twice on the final day of the tournament. What are your thoughts on that team?
I think Savage is an amazing team. Deevo and Bluey have insane chemistry and Alpha is a great player who fits well with them. They are all also mechanically very gifted, so you really have to make sure you don’t give them a lot of time or they will score on you.
Here’s a clip of @Rix_Ronday passing the ball off the backboard to @BoritoB_RL. Pretty cool, right?#NeonDream #RenegadeCup

Now that you’re qualified for the Renegade Cup Finals, how are you preparing for the challenge at hand and what are your goals for 2019?
We’re just gonna keep grinding and practicing. I haven’t really thought about my goals for 2019, but one of them will just be trying to improve and get as good as I can.
