The 3Dmax phase became the last 3-1 team to defeat the 3DMAX phase in the case of two maps and avenge two one-way losses. “ karrIgan” Anderson’s troops in 2025.
The team’s IGL told HLTV after the victory, the French squad, which, awaited for the start of their game, tortured the Falcons vs MIBR game in the game area, doing so without any special plan against the phase.
He said, “This prime is not an Empliest, it is not a prime phase, so I am still happy to do so, but it is not that we have defeated the best phase so far.”
After defeating all the teams phase, you brought it to Stage 3. How do you feel after winning?
It looks great. The last two performances against the phase have been behind our minds. We did not reveal, if the truth, it is not that the phase had some good game against us. We have not revealed yet, and I’m glad we did today.
You mentioned the previous two consequences against the phase, which were one -sided. Did you change something for today?
No, I don’t think we have changed anything particularly. The way we play and focus on it, which we need in communication, and energy and attitude, is just that. There is nothing special against the phase.
Considering the names on the other side of the server, does it feel special to defeat them for passing through?
Yes, always. It is always good to play against big names. I mean, we are very proud to play at this stage. But in the end, we compete, so we have to put it aside. We are not big fans. This prime is not an S1 employe, it is not a prime phase, so I am still happy to do so, but it is not that we have defeated the best phase so far.

Before the game, I saw you guys watching Falcons for a while. Did he encourage you in a way?
I won’t talk for my fellow fellow, but watching the Falcons games put me a bit pressured. I was like, ‘Oh my God, that game is very pressure.’ I tried to put myself in their shoes, Falcons and MIBRs, and yes … I didn’t warmly, just enjoyed the game, then jumped into our game, and the laser focused on what we worked for today.
Last time in Shanghai, you also made the top 16, but you got only one win in Shanghai. Will this result encourage you to do better this time?
We always want to improve, so the last time we made it to the legends with a win and three losses. We had a very close game against Moz, even the G2 game was clearly very close despite not revealing it on the scoreboard. I think we have weapons to join the playoffs. We always think about it, and we need to improve, keep working, and I’m sure we can show much more than what we show.
I think we have weapons to show that we are included in the playoff teams
Overall your season was like top and bottom. You set up some play office, some of the group stage came out. How much are you counting on this Major to put a bow on your season?
This is not something we talk about among the players, but as an IGL, this is something we mention with the coaching staff. The second part of the season is the new line, and I think we need to win more, so we can get more and more invitations for the next part of the season.
Regarding volatility, I think IEM format is difficult to be honest. You come to a difficult place, you have to play the role of big teams, and when you have two disadvantages you get out. This shape is really under pressure compared to the Swiss phase.
