"I have been familiar with the CASE-IN event for two years now. This case championship is the most powerful and very large-scale. We made it to the semifinals — this is a success and the work of the whole team, with whom we reached the end, despite the difficult case. Of course, there wasn't much time for a solution, it will always be short for a perfect solution, but we distributed the tasks and successfully advanced to the semifinals.", — said Eva Orlenkova, captain of the Pathfinders team.

"This is my first time participating in a CASE-IN, and I have already reached the semifinals with the team. This year's championship is an anniversary and especially ambitious one.  Our success is a well—coordinated teamwork, where each participant showed his uniqueness in his own way. I'm confident in my guys and I know we can go on to the next stage. I am very pleased that I managed to reach the semifinals on such a significant date for the Championship — 10 years. We are always loyal to the cause — Semper Fi!", — said Maxim Kolesnikov, captain of the Semper Fi team.
