olofm: "KRiMZ has been stepping up"

We had one of the victors, Olof "olofm" Kajbjer, talking to us about their performance at ESWC 2014, as well as fnatic's previous tournaments among other topics.

fnatic went into ESWC 2014 as slight favourites after winning FACEIT Season 2 Finals, but they opened up with a surprisingly big loss to Na`Vi. Afterwards though, they didn't drop a single map during the rest of the tournament, and now they took the second victory in a row.

We asked Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer about the grand final's maps, their lack of performance during DreamHack Stockholm and continued with his opinion on how he would rate himself and Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson in comparison with other players.

We have one more video coming up with Cloud9's Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert and Mike "⁠shroud⁠" Grzesiek towards the conclusion of our ESWC 2014 coverage, so stay tuned to HLTV.org.

Krimz is their best player lol, by far. I mean, this guy can do anything: He can awp, he can clutch, he can do entrys and he's smart as fuck. For me he is the best player in the world right now. 1. KRIMZ 2. kennyS 3. JW

they are a little nervous and dont have perfect english. i think this is what he means I still hate how arrogant fnatic are. like in krimz interview when asked why he thought they won so convincingly hes just like "cos we'r the best team in the world" and "i do think LDLC played their best" when asked about their performance. lol they played awful. I dunno if they just dont think about their answers or genuinely lack professionalism but they are not a team i want to cheer for at all. least of all now that devilwalk isn't in the team. he seemed to be the only decent guy in their lineup

He didnt say they are the best team in the world, he said "honestly because i think we are a better team" and then again he didnt say they did their best referring to their performance but their attitude.

lol, olof is not awkward. Krimz was really awkward xD But Olof is just a calm guy and he is keeping eye contact, nothing wrong here. He may not seem as happy as others but he is just taking the interview seriously.

fnatic above everyone at the moment tbh even if they can crumble in a b01. But in a b03, menn ... unstoppable. The only way to beat them, is to be at your best level, i mean your A++++-game and hope for them to fail!!
