sycrone: "Sometimes tactically you can get somewhere with a good look and a round doesn't convert, but xertioN always kept composure"

As retake after retake went Spirit 's way on Nuke, it would have been easy for MOUZ to fold.

Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman could have lost faith in his calls, Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi could have gone passive after making a mistake in a 1v1, or Oldřich "⁠PR⁠" Nový could have cooled off after his hot start.

All of sycrone 's players stood to attention as they secured a 13-11 victory and a spot in the final. Everyone has seen MOUZ crumble in this moment 20 times Dennis "⁠sycrone⁠" Nielsen on the decider Understandably, sycrone is particularly proud of xertioN .

"I'm very impressed with how Dori handled [Spirit's retakes]," he said.

"He kept calling instantly when the spawn started with a simple direction and I think he propelled us forward a lot, to be honest." Against Vitality — the team's nemesis from 2025 — the pressure will be back on MOUZ .

The team's 1-2 loss to Vitality yesterday stung, and Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker admits that it was "mentally a bit hard" to wake up this morning and have to play another game, but the win does grant Aurora plenty of crucial VRS points.

After the win, Aurora now sit at ninth in the live VRS, with a 98.8% chance of securing a Stage 3 invite to the Major. At last, the international Aurora are back to the level of the Turkish one.

"If we play all the events like we performed here, we can pass it." Listen to the interview here . You said before the game that this match does matter a lot for Aurora.

We didn't say, 'this is going to be third/fourth game, let's not play serious' or something. We just did our own thing, [and acted like] we're going to reach the final, you know?

And it was an important game for us as well, for the VRS and the third spot with the medal and stuff. I think it's always good to have at least something from the event.

But this team has matured right in front of our very eyes, and they are determined to ensure that this time will be different.
