jdm64: "Good comms were key"

CLG took down Gambit 2-1 and made history by becoming the second North American team to advance to the playoffs of a Major following Liquid. We spoke with the team's AWPer Josh 'jdm64' Marzano after the victory.

The third decider match of the third day of the MLG Columbus Major was a showdown between American team CLG and Russian-Kazakh-Finnish team Gambit with the former emerging victorious after three maps.

The victory made history as it was the fourth time a North American team has advanced from groups at a Major, the first time two North American teams have made it out of groups, and the first time a North American team is guaranteed at least a semifinal placing since DreamHack Winter 2013.

Following this victory, HLTV.org talked to Josh "⁠jdm64⁠" Marzano to gauge his thoughts; the interview can be found below.
