[Fernanda @ataldablair]

I wanted to say something before the final officially started.

It’s a little less than one hour before the match here. One hour before the most important match they will play this tournament.

One match to change everything.

I wanted to say a few things first, before the nervousness got to me. As I’m writing this, I’m getting a little emotional so mistakes may happen, but what matters is the sentiment.

I love this team. I love how they believe in every round. When they play a map and it isn’t good, it’s not the end. After Mirage they came back even more determined on Dust2. They got it wrong, they got it right, but most importantly… They never gave up. Not when they were behind, not when things got tough. All 5 of them were there, in the thick of it, trusting each other and believing in one another.

I believe in them. I believe they have what it takes to win. I believe they will win today. Not because their opponent isn’t good. Not because the final is easy, because it isn’t. I believe because they’ve shown me, through their never ending battle, how much they want this. How hungry they are for it. They are going to give their all, and i will believe every second of the way.

I won’t be updating after every map because i know myself, im going to be way too nervous. I wanted to say something now, and i will get back here once the match is over.

Ilya, Nikola, Maxim, René and Finn. Continue with this unwavering belief that you can do it, because you can. Trust each other, and play the CS you have been showing this whole tournament, especially in the playoffs.

I love them. I believe in them.

Let’s win this thing and get the trophy. 🏆

💚🤍🍀

Good luck, guys.

❤️ I’ll always be here, come what may. My favorites have a fan in me for life. ❤️

Lastly, I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I will block you if you try to badmouth them or clown them.

That’s it.

Title defense denied.

Counter-Strike's deadliest weapon has been neutralised.

This is definetely the best CS2 Major.
Final will be amazing.
I love Fallenito and Furia.. but he already has two... and there are these 2 boys I know.. that definitely deserve at least one. :)
Finish the job boys, it's time...😉

NiKo is confident coming up to the Finals:

dona: "Now that you're back with him [karrigan] in a Major finals do you get Boston vibes?"

NiKo: "tomorrow it's gonna be a different outcome."

[hoh20202 @hoh202020]

"Karrigan finally avenged Shanghai 2024 in OT style against the same magixx and donk"

[Thorin @Thorin]

There have been five majors in CS2 and karrigan has made it to the final of four of them. Twice back-to-back.

The greatest IGL Counter-Strike has ever seen.

NiKo is stressing like his life depends on it and kyousuke’s reactions are like “yo this shit fire”

[Garmour @GarmourCS]

Karrigan won’t kill anyone for an entire map and then at the biggest moment of the game pull off some bullshit to literally win falcons the series

I ain’t EVER seen a big game player like this 😭🙏
