TeSeS has described the confidence he felt alongside karrigan during Falcons’ IEM Cologne Major-winning run, saying the in-game leader changed the feeling of major arena matches. In an interview at BLAST Open Porto, TeSeS said the team felt difficult to beat throughout the tournament and called the experience with karrigan amazing.

The comments came after a period TeSeS characterized as mixed for Falcons. He said the end of the previous season had been as good as possible, but that the current season had started more slowly than he wanted. Falcons were at BLAST Open Porto for their third event of the season and were due to face G2 in the quarter-finals.

TeSeS did not present the Cologne title as an answer to every issue. He said he had been highly uncomfortable on some maps during the Major despite the eventual victory. Since then, he said his comfort has improved, particularly in practice and on CT sides, while his responsibilities on T sides remain less settled.

Falcons’ championship in Cologne closed several narratives around the team, according to the interview context, but TeSeS said the results that followed have been frustrating. He described the contrast plainly: the team had felt like the best in the world, then lost to opponents it did not expect to lose to on paper. He nevertheless said Legacy’s form should not be dismissed.

The player said every member of Falcons remained ready to compete for the goals the team believes it deserves. That response places the current results alongside a stated internal commitment rather than a claim that the earlier title has produced continuing control of the scene. The evidence instead records a team seeking its first trophy of the later part of the year at Porto.

TeSeS also discussed the Esports World Cup and its Club Championship. He said Falcons faced substantial expectations because the organization had invested heavily in the team and because Counter-Strike was highly competitive. He added that the organization did not voice that pressure directly, while saying the team wanted to help secure a third consecutive Club Championship but did not do so.

Role comfort and the adjustment under karrigan

Role changes are central to TeSeS’ account of his current position. He said he had changed spots again when karrigan joined and now feels more comfortable than he did months earlier. The improvement was most apparent to him in practice and on CT sides, where he said he feels better than during the Major.

On T sides, TeSeS said he has a mixed assignment. At times he must enter first; at other times he must lurk. He said that part is still uncertain, but added that he has improved at identifying when each responsibility is needed. The account is about his own adjustment, not a claim that the issue is fully resolved.

Asked whether repeated role changes had helped his development, TeSeS said they had prevented him from reaching a potential peak. He said he would be better if he could develop in one position rather than repeatedly changing everything. At the same time, he identified adaptation as a reason he has remained with the team and said he is prepared to adapt when needed.

TeSeS contrasted this latest adjustment with earlier changes by pointing to karrigan’s approach. He said karrigan has a clear idea of how he wants the game played, making it easier for TeSeS to follow that direction. This is direct player testimony about the working relationship and the clarity TeSeS says he receives.

  • TeSeS said his comfort has increased since the Major, especially during practice and on CT sides.
  • He said T-side duties still combine first-entry and lurking responsibilities, although he believes he has improved at choosing between them.
  • He said staying adaptable has helped keep him in Falcons even though frequent role changes have limited his opportunity to develop in one fixed position.
  • He said karrigan’s clear vision makes the latest role adjustment easier to follow.

The strongest part of TeSeS’ description concerned the arena environment in Cologne. He said karrigan’s presence made him feel invincible in big arena games. TeSeS went further, saying that across the tournament he felt Falcons could not lose.

That confidence sits in a specific competitive chronology: it belongs to the Cologne championship run, not to every event that followed. TeSeS separately described the subsequent season as slower and said Falcons had already experienced disappointing losses. The interview therefore records both the exceptional confidence of the title run and the team’s stated effort to recover results afterward.

The Esports World Cup loss carried an additional consequence beyond the Counter-Strike result, according to TeSeS. He said it affected the Club Championship pursuit, which players followed because the wider event created what he called an Olympic feeling across esports. Falcons watched other competitions during the event, and TeSeS said the team wanted to contribute to the organization’s attempt at another Club Championship.

What TeSeS said about Falcons’ recent position

TeSeS’ comments draw a distinction between confidence during the Major and the work Falcons say they must do afterward. He did not deny the difficulty of recent results, calling the situation annoying and saying the team wants better outcomes. His stated response was that the players are prepared to fight for their objectives.

At Porto, the immediate competitive task was a quarter-final against G2. The available evidence does not provide a result for that match or any later outcome. It does establish that Falcons entered the event looking for their first trophy of the second half of the year after a slower start to the season.

For TeSeS personally, the interview presents adaptation as both a cost and a necessity. He said constant changes can stop a player from maximizing development in one role, yet he also said his flexibility remains valuable to Falcons. Under karrigan, he said the clearer structure has made that required adaptation more manageable.

TeSeS credited karrigan with providing a clear direction that has helped him navigate another role change and described exceptional confidence during Falcons’ Cologne title run. He also acknowledged that the team has not carried that level of success consistently into the current season.

With a quarter-final against G2 awaiting at BLAST Open Porto, TeSeS’ account leaves Falcons focused on improvement rather than claiming that the Major win has removed the problems from later events. His comments identify role comfort, adaptability and the confidence supplied by karrigan as the concrete themes of that effort.
