m0NESY on karrigan’s impact: “Sometimes he reminds me of Stewie2k”

m0NESY spoke about the karrigan effect after beating Spirit on the desk.

m0NESY spoke about the karrigan effect after beating Spirit on the desk.

Falcons with one signing have gone from chokers to Major finalists after two incredibly close series wins, neither of which they were favored to win. For m0NESY, it was about self-belief.

karrigan is a magic man, every round when he is doing something, you always believe it’s gonna work out.

He said that Falcons took a lot of risks in this match, but that they paid off somehow.

We did a lot of things that could have gone wrong, but they worked out.

He said that karrigan is addressing deep-seated issues on the team.

We are just working on our weakness. We’re [also] adapting to his playstyle, to do these mid-round rotations. I like this, I like the chaos.

He made the ultimate comparison from his 2024 IEM Dallas win.

Sometimes he reminds me a bit of [Stewie2k]. He’ll just run through the smoke with a right-click flash. He doesn’t care, he believes in himself.

magixx: “We had an opportunity, but in a few situations the communications were not clear”

The new Spirit IGL of 2026 performed admirably, leading Spirit through two overtime-riddled matches. However, the third, was asking too much of them.

We had an opportunity on the T-side to take the moment, but we lost some clutches. In a few situations the communications were not clear.
