Aleksib to stunna after winning IEM Atlanta:
"You know it feels great, as I've said in older interviews I don't think it's a deserved trophy without winning Vitality.
That's why it means a lot to me, I don't care who we played on the finals, as long as we won them, I'm super glad that we won the trophy."

s1mple on FalleN's retirement at the end of 2026:
"I didn’t want to write anything [3 days ago] because FalleN still plays, he will still play until the end of the year. It’s a huge loss for the CS scene.
FalleN just grew CS overall, not only in Brazil, but I think in Brazil everyone knows this... He is definitely in the top 5 of all CS individuals, you know, who did something in general for Counter-Strike, so we are gonna miss him."

FalleN retirement speech announcement:
"I decided to step away from competitive Counter-Strike at the end of the year. I have 247 more days to play Counter-Strike professionally and I am going to move on to another great stuff for Counter-Strike eco system.
For everyone around the world that didn't follow my job that much, but learned to watch my games and learned to respect Brazil over Counter-Strike I appreciate your support over the years. Thank you so much."
