In the final act of a dramatic day of Counter-Strike, paiN qualified to the playoffs of the BLAST.tv Austin Major in the final round of regulation on the deciding map of their 2-2 game versus Virtus.pro.
After the game, we caught up with their young star snow to discuss their comeback from 0-2 and his excitement to make his Major playoffs debut.
You've just qualified for the Major playoffs, how do you feel?
I'm feeling really happy that we could make the miracle run from 0-2 to 3-2, it's amazing, bro, it's an insane feeling. I'm feeling so confident in this team, so happy, we deserve this, for sure.
As you said, it was a great run to go from 0-2 to 3-2, how did you pull it off? Is it just the chemistry within the team?
Yeah, biguzera has helped us a lot in these situations. He deserves to be in these playoffs, he's an insane captain, insane leader, he helps so much in the stressful moments like when we played two bad games to go 0-2.
You are one of the loudest people during the games, you'll now go into an arena with 10,000 fans, will you be louder than them?
For sure, bro. I will try my best to be the loudest person in the arena.
How excited are you for it?
So much, bro. I love it so much, I've only done it once before in Romania, and it was an amazing feeling, but the Major is the Major, you know?
