Latvian rifler Mareks \u201c\u2060YEKINDAR\u2060\u201d Ga\u013cinskis was the main guest of the latest episode of HLTV Confirmed, where he discussed the key moments of his career \u2014 from an unsuccessful stint as in-game leader in Liquid to finding a second wind with FURIA. He also shared his thoughts on young AWPer molodoy, the skill of Gabriel \u201c\u2060FalleN\u2060\u201d Toledo, and commented on the high-profile transfer rumors surrounding tN1R.<\/p>\n

Unsuccessful Captaincy in Liquid<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

YEKINDAR admitted that his time as IGL in Liquid was far from ideal, and the issue lay not in his tactical vision but in his leadership qualities:<\/p>\n

Honestly, I was complete ass as a leader. I don\u2019t think I was a bad IGL, and I still want to return to that role in the future, but back then I was a young kid who wanted to win so badly that I couldn\u2019t hold my emotions back. When you have young players like oSee, Patsi, Rainwaker, you need to be a role model, and I wasn\u2019t.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

The Latvian stressed that the pressure and desire to achieve quick victories often led to emotional outbursts, which harmed team atmosphere and the development of newcomers.<\/p>\n

Revival with FURIA<\/h3>\n

The move to Brazil and signing with FURIA became a turning point in YEKINDAR\u2019s career. He noted that the new environment, playing style, and roster gave him a chance to regain confidence and stability. Mareks paid special attention to young Kazakh AWPer Danil \u201c\u2060molodoy\u2060\u201d Golubenko:<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t come into the team saying, \u2018Give me the AWP, I\u2019ll go kill everyone.\u2019 His first priority is to support his teammates and take the right positions to catch the opponent\u2019s reaction. That\u2019s a very rare quality for a young AWPer.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

For comparison, he recalled his experience with Roland \u201c\u2060ultimate\u2060\u201d Tomkowiak in Liquid, pointing out that ultimate always sought to take the initiative, even in situations where the team needed the AWPer to play a supporting role.<\/p>\n

FalleN \u2014 Still a Master<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another topic of discussion was the form of Brazilian legend Gabriel \u201c\u2060FalleN\u2060\u201d Toledo. YEKINDAR didn\u2019t hide his admiration:<\/p>\n

I always type in chat \u201834-year-old, btw\u2019 when he wins a 1v3 or 1v4. What he does in practice is sometimes even better than in official matches.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

According to him, FalleN\u2019s experience and composure remain key factors in FURIA\u2019s success, and his shooting ability is still at a top level.<\/p>\n

tN1R in Spirit: A Challenge for a Star<\/h3>\n

Commenting on the rumors of Andrey \u201c\u2060tN1R\u2060\u201d Tatarinovich moving from HEROIC to Spirit to replace Myroslav \u201c\u2060zont1x\u2060\u201d Plakhotia, YEKINDAR acknowledged that the transfer would be a tough test:<\/p>\n

He was the star in his team, and now he\u2019s coming to Spirit where sh1ro and donk are already there. It\u2019s not easy \u2014 he\u2019ll have to get used to having less space to play.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

He explained that while tN1R will likely keep most of his positions, in the team\u2019s priorities key resources and weapons will more often go to donk rather than to him.<\/p>\n

The episode with YEKINDAR was packed with candid admissions and analysis. The Latvian openly reflected on his past, shared his experience of revival with FURIA, and offered intriguing insights into upcoming transfers. The conversation served as a reminder that even after the toughest periods, it\u2019s possible to find new motivation and a place in the big game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
