FURIA’s CS2 rifler, Marek “YEKINDAR” Galinskis, commented on his team’s victory over GamerLegion in the match to advance to the quarterfinals of the Esports World Cup 2026 CS2 playoffs on his personal Telegram channel.
It’s unbelievable—it’s pure magic. It was an incredibly tough game today. I’ve been dealing with some personal health issues throughout this tournament; I feel really *** [bad] every day, but that’s just how life is. Everyone played their hearts out today—we never gave up until the very end. Two comebacks on Ancient—a map we rarely play, to be honest. It’s unbelievable, of course. A big thank you to everyone for the support. We’re playing—I don’t know when—but you’ll see it on HLTV.
Earlier, FURIA defeated GamerLegion in the first round of the Esports World Cup 2026 Counter-Strike 2 playoffs with a 2-1 map score in a best-of-3 series. Marek “YEKINDAR” Galinskis’s team will play their next match against G2 Esports today, August 20, at 7:50 p.m. Moscow time.
