IEM Krakow ve PGL Bükreş’teki muazzam playoff başarılarının ardından durdurulamayan Aurora, ESL Pro League büyük finaline kadar yükselerek yılın ilk kupasını havaya kaldırmak için gün sayıyor. Yarı finalde güçlü rakibi Astralis’i destansı bir oyunla ezip geçen ekibimiz, şimdi gözünü şampiyonluğa dikti.
Bu dev final, Aurora için sadece bir kupa mücadelesi değil, aynı zamanda tarihi bir rövanş niteliği taşıyor. Hatırlanacağı üzere Natus Vincere, bu efsanevi Aurora kadrosunun çekirdeğini 2024 yılındaki ESL Pro League S20 büyük finalinde kıl payı mağlup etmişti. Şimdi ise temsilcimiz, bu hesabı sonsuza dek kapatmak için sahaya çıkıyor.
Astralis karşısında alınan görkemli zaferin ardından HLTV’ye konuşan takımın efsanevi kaptanı Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli, dev eşleşme hakkındaki heyecanını şu sözlerle dile getirdi:
“I like playing against NAVI,” Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli told HLTV in the wake of his team’s win over Astralis. “I think it will be a great matchup and I’m very excited to play tomorrow.”
Kaptan MAJ3R’dan Final Öncesi Çarpıcı Açıklamalar
Tarihi final öncesinde takımın yarı finaldeki muazzam direncini, Caner “soulfly” Kesici’nin takıma kattığı taze kanı ve Natus Vincere’den alınacak intikamın ateşini anlatan MAJ3R, süreci şu sözlerle değerlendirdi:
- Astralis Zaferi Sonrası Genel Değerlendirmesi ve Rövanş İsteği: “Very tired because I don’t like playing late hours to be honest, but it is what it is. Tired and very happy to be in the final here, and also playing against NAVI. I feel like revenge from the last time in ESL Pro League when we lost to them in the final.”
- Nuke Haritasındaki Şanssızlık ve Gelen Muazzam Geri Dönüş: “I think on Nuke we lost so many advantageous situations on CT side and on T side. Even in the last round on T side, they were eco and I called to go Ramp, and we just choked this round.” Takım arkadaşlarına olan inancını ise şu sözlerle perçinledi: “guys, I feel that everyone is shooting very well, me included, so we just lost because they played more intelligently than us on Nuke.” “This is Nuke’s strongest thing, if you play really well and rotate well, so on Dust2 and Inferno which are more shooting maps I really believed that we could beat them. After Dust2, where we beat them with a very large score, they felt it also, and I’m very happy that we closed it on Inferno, but it was a very close match.”
- Inferno’daki Üstünlükleri ve Kırılmaz Dirençleri: “Yeah. I really feel, from outside maybe you say the same, inside the server I had control the whole game. I feel like I had control on T side, we lost some rounds but we were playing way better I think.” “On CT side after losing the pistol and the force, and doing some bad gambles in mid-rounds, it was a little difficult, but I am very happy that we found the solutions after that.” “We had to force some fights B, in the pause we said to my coach we had to fight B, he said ‘okay let’s fight B.’ I’m glad that it finished well, but tomorrow we have the final and we have to focus on that.”
- Yeni Transfer ‘soulfly’ Hakkındaki Övgü Dolu Sözleri: “Yeah because we never know when we do a change if it will be good or not, you know? But soulfly is a very intelligent player, he’s learning fast, listening really well, and doing his best for the team.” “He’s sacrificing a lot. It’s new for him, playing a lot on stage and playing a lot of important matches. On Nuke it was a little complicated today, but I believe that he will work more and I believe in him that he will be way better.”
