Krabeni on the match against MOUZ at the 2026 Esports World Cup in CS2: “We felt very confident.”
FUT Esports captain Aulon “Krabeni” Fazliya, in an interview at the 2026 Esports World Cup for CS2, discussed how the players handled the pressure during the match against MOUZ and also assessed his teammates.
On the match against MOUZ
To be honest, they surprised us by picking Dust2, since we were expecting Nuke. We’ve improved our play on Dust2 recently, so we had a better chance of winning on that map. We felt very confident against their playstyle.
On FUT Esports’ performance
We thought we’d be under pressure, but during the match we showed that, even though we’re a very young team, we’re capable of delivering results. Maybe if we make it to the finals, we’ll experience different emotions, but so far we’re handling them just fine.
On bonding with teammates
We enjoy every tournament we play together, and after practice, we hang out and relax together.
Earlier, FUT Esports defeated MOUZ in the quarterfinals of the Esports World Cup 2026 for Counter-Strike 2, beating their opponent 2-0.
