woxic: "After Dust2, we understood fnatic were already tilted"

HellRaisers have made it to the playoffs at the FACEIT Major after beating fnatic 2-1 in the fifth round, and we spoke to Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker about making his first Major playoffs and more.

HellRaisers started off well in the series agianst fnatic, as they grabbed an 11-4 half on Mirage, but they couldn't close things out as the Swedes pulled off a comeback in overtime. Kyrylo "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow's team then secured their pick, Dust2, before decimating fnatic 16-2 on Cache to advance to the playoffs in London.

After the match, we got a hold of woxic, who talked about making his first Major playoffs as well as about how HellRaisers dealt with the tough loss on the opening map to lock down the win over fnatic in the end.
