soulfly on first Major playoffs, BetBoom warning

Caner “soulfly” Kesici spoke at media day ahead of the Cologne Major playoffs, describing his first appearance in a Major knockout stage, crediting teammates and the team doctor for a return in confidence, and urging focus for best-of-five matches.

On the arena floor, the rookie said reaching the playoffs has exceeded his expectations and that performing in front of a live crowd felt like a milestone in his career.

Kesici attributed recent improvement to renewed self-belief and support inside the team. He pointed to regular work with teammates and medical staff as helping him regain form after a difficult period.

Looking ahead to the quarter-final against BetBoom, Kesici cautioned against underestimating the opponent. He noted BetBoom’s rise from lower-tier competition and recent wins over established teams, and highlighted their in-game leader, Boombl4, as a strong tactical presence.

Kesici also discussed the tournament bracket, describing his side as on the easier half but warning that longer series raise the stakes. He said beating teams like Vitality and Spirit is achievable in best-of-three matches, while best-of-five games demand greater discipline and mental endurance.

He closed media day focusing on consistency and composure as the team prepares for the knockout rounds in Cologne, and expressed the hope of building on the Major experience to achieve further results.
