Eternal Fire captain: Now the goal is to win it!
An elated in-game leader from Eternal Fire gave an emotional interview after securing a spot in the Major Playoffs
For the first time in history, 33-year-old Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli qualified for the Playoff stage at a Major with Eternal Fire’s 2-1 win against Virtus.pro. The in-game leader carried his team on both Vertigo and Inferno, where he set the perfect example to guide his team to victory.
"I feel very happy and very tired," Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli said in an interview after the match before reflecting on his own performance. "After the first map, I felt that my teammates weren’t in good shape today, so I said to myself: 'Bro, you have to do it. You have to set a good example for your teammates. You have to lead from the front and secure entry-kills,'" the Turkish captain said.
Now, Eternal Fire finds themselves among the top eight teams in the tournament. The Quarter-Finals will take place next Thursday and Friday, with Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli and the rest of the Eternal Fire roster among the participants. So, how far can they go?
"Now the goal is maybe to win it! I didn’t want to say it, but we will do our best," MAJ3R said. Eternal Fire, Spirit, and MOUZ are the three teams who have qualified so far for the next stage in Copenhagen.
