Patti: I heard HooXi's screaming and his annoying laugh
There were no hard feelings between the two Danish in-game leaders after Rasmus "HooXi" Nielsen knocked out ECSTATIC from the Copenhagen Major.
The remarkable journey of ECSTATIC came to an end at the PGL Copenhagen Major after the Danish underdogs suffered a 2-1 defeat to G2 in the Elimination Stage of the tournament.
Throughout the match, G2’s in-game leader Rasmus "HooXi" Nielsen attempted to unsettle the ECSTATIC players by shouting at them, but as ECSTATIC’s in-game leader Patrick "Patti" Larsen expressed in an exit interview after the match, that's just part of the game.
- I didn’t really hear if he said any words or anything, but I heard him screaming and his annoying laugh. But apart from that, I didn’t really hear him at all," Patti told James Banks in the interview, acknowledging that the shouting did affect him during the match.
- Sometimes I was like ‘Shut the fuck up,’ but it’s good banter, and I would do the same if I was winning, so it’s all good.
Top 16 gives confidence for the future
While the exit from the Major may sting for ECSTATIC at present, the Danish roster can draw many positive takeaways from their experience in Copenhagen.
- It’s been one hell of an experience and something we would dream of going to Major and ending up in the top 16 in your first Major," Patti said before discussing the team's future.
- I can only speak for myself, but reaching the top 16 at a Major gives us confidence that we are doing something right and that we are on the right path. From now on, it will only go in the right direction, so I think it’s a positive sign for all of us.
