Eternal Fire has progressed to their third final in the last six months, marking a continuous ascent in their performance during the Copenhagen event.

After a lackluster performance from Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş, Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli commented on the evolving team dynamics.

“Counter-Strike is an asshole game,” said MAJ3R, reflecting on the unpredictability of success in eSports.

Translation: Counter-Strike is a challenging game with rapid shifts in fortune.

Eternal Fire’s journey this season has faced ups and downs, with their previous year concluding in disappointment when they were sidelined from the Shanghai Major. They also made significant roster changes, including moving Buğra “Calyx” Arkın out of the lineup.

Despite these challenges, the team demonstrated their resilience with a standout performance in the finals against G2, winning without their star player significantly contributing on the scoreboard. “Even when XANTARES is not having his best day, it shows we are a team and everyone is doing their job,” remarked MAJ3R happily.

Newcomer Samet “jottAAA” Köklü has made an immediate impression, bringing a fresh mindset and positivity to the group’s strategy.

“It’s mental war every round, having someone who’s always positive is helping a lot,” MAJ3R added, praising his new team members.

Translation: In the competitive world of Counter-Strike, maintaining a positive outlook is crucial.

As the team prepares for the final showdown, MAJ3R emphasized the importance of control and pressure in-game, hoping to break the losing streak in significant events, aiming for victory this time around.
