BetBoom Team rifler Timur “FL4MUS” Mariev summed up the team’s performance in the first stage of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The player posted the message on his personal Telegram channel.
Hey everyone! Bedtime podcast. So, we advanced 3-0 to the second stage. I had bet on us going 3-0, well, I mean us. And I also bet on GamerLegion going 3-0, but bad luck—we didn’t get lucky—we played against them. What can I say? The first day was a little rough. There was a ton of info for me to take in, a lot of new rounds, because the guys had been training with Pasha s1ren before the Major, and I wasn’t involved in the training process at all. I actually thought there was absolutely no way I’d make it to the Major. It wasn’t until the very end that I found out I’d been named as a substitute. But, anyway, I made it, we won, *** [awesome]. Today I already felt a bit better personally. I have new spots again. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the support; the bedtime podcast is over.
