KRIMZ: "I'm relieved, but the work isn't done yet"
KRIMZ, a fnatic player, commented on his team's departure from IEM Rio Major 2022. In a conversation with Dust2 journalists, the Swedish esportsman noted that he did not say the last word and was still hungry for victories. According to the 28-year-old player, his team has gained precious experience that they can use in the next tournaments.
Yes, I feel relieved, but the work is not finished yet. I'm still hungry, I'm still motivated to play and win. The work is not finished yet, we have made good progress here and I am looking forward to the next championship.
In an interview, the 28-year-old Swede assessed fnatic's performance in the Brazilian Major, highlighting a number of problems the team faced during the championship.
I'm really pleased with the progress we've made here. Previously, we had some difficulties in reaching the Legends stage, but reaching the playoffs is very cool. I'm sad that we played the way we did today, we didn't play our game at all. It showed that we don't have much stage experience. Although it was fun.
Of course, we haven't reached our peak yet. We still make mistakes both as a team and individually. I think it's all about getting more experience together, playing more championships and getting into the playoffs because we definitely need experience. This is a work in progress. It won't take one week or a month, it will take a long time.
Recall that the day before, the fnatic team lost to Outsiders with a score of 0:2 and left IEM Rio Major 2022, taking 5-8th place and earning $45,000 + 375 points in the BLAST Premier table.
