Danish player of the Falcons CS2 roster René TeSeS Madsen shared his impressions of playing under the leadership of Finn karrigan Andersen after a tough victory over FURIA at the PGL Astana 2026 LAN tournament. The interview with the player was published by the specialized portal HLTV.
Madsen, who finished the series with an individual rating of 1.25, highly appreciated the influence of the experienced captain on the atmosphere in the team, especially in tense moments of the matches.
He brings the atmosphere in the team to a whole new level, and I'm just very happy that he's with us. Playing with him is a pleasure in such close matches because he kind of takes you under his wing, and every time someone does something crazy, he encourages everyone. Playing with him is amazing.
TeSeS also talked about the distribution of roles in the updated Falcons roster. According to him, Nikola NiKo Kovač acts as the team's main "closer," while Madsen himself often takes the initiative in the middle of rounds, acting as an entry fragger.
In the semifinals of PGL Astana 2026, the Falcons team will face the main sensation of the tournament — the team Magic. Despite being the clear favorites, TeSeS emphasized that the team does not intend to underestimate their opponent and will prepare for the match in a standard manner.
Earlier, it became known that the Falcons roster, in an incredible match with five overtimes, defeated FURIA in the quarterfinals of PGL Astana 2026. This victory allowed karrigan's team to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
