kyxsan on Aurora Gaming’s CS2 roster: “Right now, it’s important for us to maintain consistency in our results.”

On the victory over Team Spirit
Perhaps this wasn’t the most important match for either team. We tried to stay motivated and gave it our all. This result is very important for our confidence and our position in the VRS rankings. I think we played to our full potential and deserved this victory.
On finishing third at ESL Pro League Season 24
It’s disappointing that we lost to Vitality—we really wanted to play in the final. Nevertheless, we managed to end the tournament on a high note. Third place isn’t the best result, but it’s not the worst either. We’re satisfied with our performance.
On Aurora Gaming’s progress
Our team learned a lot at this tournament. For example, we beat several top teams—that will definitely help boost our confidence. Right now, it’s important for us to maintain consistency in our results. I hope we’ll learn from our mistakes and become stronger.
