MOUZ rifler Ludwig “Brollan” In an interview at IEM Cologne Major 2026, Brollan assessed the recent match against Legacy, spoke about Dorian “xertioN” Berman in the role of captain, and listed his personal goals for the future.
On the first match at IEM Cologne Major 2026
Overall, I feel good, but during the match, I could tell we lacked practice; there were a lot of new positions and new details.
On xertioN’s captaincy
He’s doing a good job, managing the players, and handling things correctly in many details. He makes adjustments mid-round and during timeouts. He’s confident in what he’s doing, compared to me.
On personal goals
Of course, I want to play at the Major and see how things go, including the market situation. My contract expires after the Major, so we’ll see. I have a chance to play here and show what I can do, so I’m trying to do everything I can. ...> Of course, there’s pressure, because if you play poorly, you don’t know if you’ll be on the team in the future. But we’re playing right now, so I try not to think too much about what comes next.
