FL4MUS on returning to GamerLegion: “It’s as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”
GamerLegion rifler Timur “FL4MUS” Mariev spoke in an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026 about his return to the European club, the match against Legacy, and preparations for the tournament.
On Returning to GamerLegion
I feel relieved. You know, it’s just… It’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I can finally just play without worrying that I won’t be on this team after my loan ends—and yes, this isn’t a loan.
On the match against Legacy
I was just doing my job and doing it well. And I had some crazy stats. I think that’s how it always works. There was nothing special about it.
On the team’s preparation for the 2026 Esports World Cup
It was a short boot camp, so we tried to cram as much work as possible into the few days we had. We just worked on every map; we worked a lot—from morning until evening and into the night. We focused on everything.
Earlier, GamerLegion defeated JiJieHao 2-0 in Group A at the 2026 Esports World Cup for Counter-Strike 2. As a result, Timur “FL4MUS” Mariev’s team advanced to the championship playoffs, which begin on August 19.
