Hey there! This is Alexey Kostylev bringing you quality content.
We're at the Bursa boutique hotel, they've generously provided us with a place to set up a bootcamp in.
I'm here with Vasiliy, the founder of the hotel.
- He came up with the idea to build it and brought it into reality. - That's correct.
Vasya, a couple of words about the hotel and its features.
Features? There are amazing features everywhere around here.
So yeah, we are a small boutique-hotel, we provide a bit different hospitality service.
We value sincerity between our guests and staff.
- The place has rooms and a gallery, as far as I know. - Yes, you are right.
Ukrainian artists are featured there, right?
Not only Ukrainian, we have Russian, Belarus artists, even a girl from the Czech Republic worked with us.
But there is always Ukrainian background, because we support domestic art.
Also, there is a restaurant and a party place on the fifth floor.
Yes, there is a party place - bar "1818", it's very cool, especially in summer.
- Roma, I've heard you make the best tonic-espresso, is that true? - It's true.
- Can you make a cup for us? - Of course.
Thank you. I haven't tried a tonic espresso before, why is this drink so unique?
It contains the energizing espresso and tonic, for what reason?
Tonic is a refreshing summer drink, they go really well together.
Actually, there is no secret, we just use the best tonic and tasty espresso.
- Is it a non-alcoholic drink? - Yes, it is.
Thank god.
One more question. Do you promise to serve only Monster Energy to our players?
I'll see to it that the players get served only Monster Energy.
It's a bit bitter, an interesting taste.
- Kostya, do you want to try it? - Sure. - Here you go.
Guys, the first impressions are great, the place is amazing.
Look at this incredible room, I haven't seen anything like that at any tournament.
Check out the bathroom, there is a special glass, I don't know if it's tinted, I will ask about it later.
Everything is awesome in here. Bauhaus style is something new.
The bed is huge, also there is a TV in front of the bed you can watch highlights and movies on.
If you need to work, there's a table you can put your laptop on,
but our players are working in the practice room.
You can head out onto the balcony and enjoy the view of the historical center of Kyiv.
Alexey Kostylev here again, we're on the ground floor of the Bursa hotel.
There's a gallery here where young artists can display their work,
and should someone get interested in buying some of the art,
the hotel provides their assistance in selling it with all the money going directly to artists.
Guys, we're in the lobby where the players can unwind after practice games or get together for breakfast.
Here you can also read the latest issues of the Washington Post and the New York Times.
I'm not sure how the newspapers get here though, maybe they get printed out.
It's a nice location to chill out.
Sanya, how do you like the hotel?
It's great.
Does it remind you of the one you stayed in Copenhagen during BLAST?
Rather a hotel in Berlin.
I once was shooting for Omen and I stayed at a similar art hotel with music.
How has your day been so far? What have you been doing?
We've already gone over 4 rounds today.
Wow, 4 rounds. You do mean business, don't you?
Misha, 4 rounds, huh?
Well, we're just getting started, we've got a whole day ahead of us.
Guys, which tournament is of higher priority?
ESL Pro League.
I had barely finished the question before you answered.
It features more teams, a bigger prize pool and it's an Intel Grand Slam event,
so we have to win this tournament because otherwise Astralis can secure the whole thing.
If we beat them in a grand final and deny their fourth victory, how much will we get? 50 grand?
- No, 50. If we win in the finals. - 100.
100? No, it's 50.
100 what? Points or grand? - $100,000.
We have to deny it.
So the goal is to beat Astralis, right?
No, the goal is to win the tournament, it's not about Astralis anymore.
Every time we talk about beating Astralis we end up losing to some not-so-strong teams and don't get to reach Astralis.
The goal is to prepare well for the tournament and put on a good performance.
Danya, a few words. Did you get enough rest before getting here?
Yes, I had a week off, I rested just fine. Everything is A-okay.
I know you brought ginseng along.
Melatonin, all that stuff.
Keeping calm and collected is key.
- Are you going to be hitting the gym? - Sure.
So you're ready to destroy, right? What's left now is to practice Cache.
The objective is to get ourselves ready for EPL because it's an important tournament and that's pretty much it.
Everything's fine.
That's a wrap for today, the guys have just settled in.
We'll be back with another bootcamp episode very soon,
so hit the subscribe button and drop a like.
If you liked the hotel, make sure to follow them on Instagram.
Go ahead and book a room and pay a visit to the "1818" bar to have a good time. See you soon.
