After a strong showing at the Budapest Major, KSCERATO discussed FURIA\u2019s preparation, the challenges of adapting to English communication, the team\u2019s structure on Nuke, and the emotional balance needed to stay consistent throughout the event. He also reflected on facing Brazilian rivals, the importance of small details in tight matches, and FURIA\u2019s mindset heading into the next stage.<\/p>\n
It was tough. The bootcamp and practice these days are hard because everyone has a lot of confidence in practice, so sometimes you get frustrated, but it happens. Our main issue was just coming here and doing things together at 100%. We know how to play \u2014 we just needed to commit fully as a team.<\/p>\n
Not burned out at all, because I\u2019m traveling with my girlfriend and my dog, and my mom and brother are coming tomorrow. So I never feel burned out in this atmosphere.<\/p>\n
I think they gave us a lot of free kills outside, A pops, or standing behind the smoke when we had AKs. The game plan was good, and everything went well because we were simply on point.<\/p>\n
We checked everything because we had passed against them and played a big fight before, so it was hard to predict the Falcons. We knew it could be three maps \u2014 Inferno, Nuke, and probably Dust2 or Train. So we just went with what we felt. We said, \u201cLet\u2019s play Nuke,\u201d but their pick was a surprise for us.<\/p>\n
I have no idea, actually. It\u2019s hard to play many matches without time to practice or bring new stuff. You just recycle what you already have. It\u2019s tough, but I think they\u2019ll bounce back.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s our best map as well. We have a lot of strong maps. I think we can manage to win against any team in the world.<\/p>\n
I have a lot of friends there \u2014 people I\u2019ve known since childhood like chelo. But we\u2019ve faced each other so many times already, so for me it\u2019s normal. We just need to focus.<\/p>\n
You have to go step by step. In tournaments like Taiwan or this one, the streak means nothing. Anyone can beat anyone. One eco round or one weapon makes the difference. Small details win these games.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s hard because we switched to English communication. It was not easy to adapt, but we\u2019re managing it very well. It\u2019s just a matter of time.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re fully adapting to each other. We became friends fast, we understand each other, we talk a lot. We\u2019re basically a family.<\/p>\n
No one.<\/p>\n
It was amazing. It will get louder and louder as more people come. I\u2019m used to it because I played the Rio Major \u2014 that was hell. So for me this is nice; it\u2019s great to see familiar faces.<\/p>\n
We practiced against them. They\u2019re a really good team with many star players who can get multi-kills in a second. We just have to do our best. We don\u2019t choose opponents \u2014 we just need to play our game.<\/p>\n
Of course we\u2019ll check some details that could cost us rounds, but for now we\u2019re going to rest. We\u2019ll probably play the last game again, so we need to keep going.<\/p>\n
