FaZe player Howard "rain" Nygaard shared his emotions in an interview with HLTV following yesterday's match against NAVI in the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 19. The Norwegian noted that this victory is not enough to consider it a successful revenge after FaZe's defeat to Natus Vincere in the final of PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
"This is just one-tenth of revenge. If we beat them 10 more times in a row, then I will feel happy and let go of the loss at the Major."
rain also assessed his team's chances in the upcoming match against Vitality for a spot in the semi-finals of ESL Pro League Season 19. This match will take place on May 10th.
"I think we have really good chances. We proved it at the Major that it doesn't matter if we play against Team Spirit, Vitality, or anyone else. Of course, Team Spirit is not here, but I still believe we can beat absolutely everyone here. I think everyone who plays against us knows that we can beat them."
Just a reminder, ESL Pro League Season 19 is taking place from April 23rd to May 12th in Malta. The total prize pool of the championship is $750,000. The tournament winner will receive a spot at IEM Cologne 2024.
