It’s a shame, somewhat, to jump into the quarter-finals, because we are the champions of the last Warface Games, but we will handle it. Actually, we really like this format. The guys are highly charged at laser tag. We will focus precisely on it,” Andrey Chirkov of Winstrike Team explained the defeat of his team.
