try: "This result is just unacceptable"

The Argentinian sniper was heartbroken after Imperial's early elimination from the Major.

Imperial are out of the Major after a 0-3 run

Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal did not hide his disappointment after Imperial were eliminated from the Shanghai Major in the Opening Stage without a win, describing the team's tournament run as "unacceptable."

If you cannot see the SoundCloud embed above, you can listen to the interview here.

Imperial found themselves staring elimination in the face on day one following losses to Brazilian rivals paiN and FURIA. The team then put in an off-colour display against Complexity in an elimination series, posting just nine rounds across Inferno and Ancient to leave the Major with a 0-3 record.

"I don't really know what to say, I just feel sad," try told HLTV after the match. "A lot of sadness. It's every player's dream to play the Major, and obviously win. I'm in a lot of pain because I am very passionate about CS. I gave it my all, but it was not enough.

"It's just really hard to be away from home so much time, and not be able to win even one match."

In an interview with Dust2 Brasil, João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos acknowledged that the team needs to be more consistent in tier-one tournaments to do more than just claim the occasional win. "We need to figure out how to take that step," he said.

For Imperial, the pain of the early exit in Shanghai is compounded by the fact that, at the Copenhagen Major, they were able to make it to the second stage.

"We don't know what we are going to do, but what we and I know is that this result is just unacceptable. We'll see. We have to make some changes in our game," try said.

The Argentinian AWPer, who was signed in July to replace Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles, was also very critical of his performances in Shanghai, where he averaged a 0.74 rating.

"I have to rewatch the games, because it's unacceptable how I played," he said.

"I know how I practiced these last three months. I practiced a lot, and I know I didn't show it on the server, so that's why I punish myself."

HEN1 got eliminated on the RMR playing in the same team of the Coldzera. Two players who should be retired.

I have had the misfortune of watching some of your games over the past 6 months, and in every single one of them your level has been unacceptable, so this should've not come as a surprise.

There is 0 truly easy teams in the major if we look at the team level objectively, all of them had to qualify vs others that resemble their skill level
