YEKINDAR: FURIA Is Playing Better, and the Thunderpick Win Made an Impact

FURIA finished the PGL Masters Bucharest group stage with 3 wins and 2 losses, advancing to the playoffs. Despite a difficult path, the team is continuing to build momentum after its victory at the Thunderpick World Championship.

Player YEKINDAR said that reaching the playoffs is the club's minimum goal. He added that he believes making the final and winning the tournament is also possible. He also pointed out that the close match against Spirit, the tournament favorite, showed what the team can do.

YEKINDAR believes the team has played better since Thunderpick and that the players' confidence has grown. In his view, there are still areas to improve, but the team is moving in the right direction.

Talking about the Nuke match against Liquid, YEKINDAR said the series was quite wild. He explained that the opponent's dynamic and sometimes risky style differs from that of their own team. For that reason, controlling the game and forcing the opponent to think was a key part of the plan. FURIA won seven rounds on the T side, but on the CT side they got carried away with excitement and made mistakes in several situations.

In the interview, he was also asked whether the history with Liquid, including FalleN, added any extra meaning to the matches.
