In an interview during the Riyadh Masters 2024, mid-laner Stanislav 'Malr1ne' Potorak from Team Falcons discussed the reasons behind their decisive victory over 1win Team, commented on the use of the general chat by Ammar 'ATF' Al-Assaf, and shared his expectations for competing on the main stage of the year's major tournament.
Regarding the victory over the 1win Team, Potorak mentioned that the team reviewed their previous loss against Tundra Esports and came up with new strategies. They have been practising these strategies in the current and upcoming series, hoping to see further improvements in their match against BetBoom Team.
On the subject of spamming messages in the general chat during the match against the 1win Team, Potorak clarified that he did not engage in chat spam but only used voice lines, which he considered insignificant. He noted that Ammar, the only one spamming messages, was simply doing it for fun and content creation, with no apparent conflict with the 1win Team.
As for his expectations for playing on the main stage of The International, Potorak acknowledged that he would be nervous, as it is his first TI. However, he emphasised that he did not feel overwhelming excitement, as he views it as part of his job and plans to focus on performing his role effectively.
Previously, Yaroslav 'NS' Kuznetsov admitted that he was not fond of the players from MENA Team Falcons, except for Stanislav 'Malr1ne' Potorak.
