KennyS explains why returning to his 2014 form isn\u2019t his focus on G2 ESLKenny \u2018kennyS\u2019 Schrub might not be at his explosive best all the time on G2 Esports compared to his peak in 2014 and 2015 with Titan and EnvyUs, but the French star believes he\u2019s feeling \u201cmuch better\u201d as a player than he was back then. Cast your mind back to 2015. It\u2019s the grand final of the DreamHack Cluj-Napoca Major. EnvyUs are playing Natus Vincere. While the CIS squad were overwhelming most of the Frenchmen, kennyS was pulling clutch-after-clutch to carry his squad. He finished the map 26-18, while the rest of his team went negative. EnvyUs won the map 16-14, despite seized and GuardiaN\u2019s best efforts. They went on to win the series 2-0, and secure kennyS his first and only Major CS:GO title. The mantra of EnvyUs in 2015, and the Titan squad in 2014, was \u201cin Kenny we trust.\u201d He was a star player, but with that status comes ebbs and flows that affect your team. If kennyS wasn\u2019t having a good day, then Titan would struggle. However, six years on, the same problems don\u2019t exist within G2. Sometimes Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d pulls out a huge game, or his cousin Nemanja \u2018huNter-\u2019 Kova\u010d does. The team is more well-rounded. While you can put it down to age, kennyS believes it\u2019s an entirely different thing. He might not be playing at his absolute peak on G2, but he\u2019s become a better player \u2014 a consistent player \u2014 and it\u2019s paying off. \u201cMy objective is to \u2014 if we are going full transparency, what I\u2019m doing right now \u2014 I\u2019ve never done it in my whole career. I\u2019ve never really worked in a constant way. Right now that\u2019s what I want to do, that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing, and that\u2019s what I intend to keep doing,\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201cFor the first time in my life I actually feel like my performances are much better than they were a few weeks ago.\u201d He was on fire in 2014\u2026 \ud83d\udd25 But @G2kennyS says returning to that level is not his focus right now\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/tgIxlJ4IEO \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) December 10, 2020 kennyS admits his peak is \u201cnot where everyone and myself want [them] to be,\u201d but he\u2019s taking it in his stride as part of G2\u2019s surge to the top of Counter-Strike. He has found a way to weaponize his talent into consistent results through hard work, and it\u2019s rewarding.

With NiKo now truly finding his footing in the squad, the pieces are falling in place for G2 to make another run at a Major in 2021 and maybe secure kennyS\u2019 second title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
