Team Falcons coach Danny "zonic" Sørensen spoke after his team's victory at the IEM Cologne Major 2026. In an interview at the tournament, he discussed the journey taken and his own achievements in the role of mentor.
zonic admitted that his time with Falcons has not been easy:
I am very happy with the victory. It's been a long time since we lifted a trophy. Honestly, my time in Falcons has been challenging, but despite the difficulties, I never stopped believing. Winning the major was one of my main goals with this team. I also wanted to help NiKo win this tournament. So, mission accomplished.
The coach also noted that he is thinking about the future:
Of course, this victory strengthens my legacy. However, I feel like I'm starting to get a little tired. Behind me is a career as a player and a long period of coaching. My children are growing up. I don't know if I will finish with CS. My wife and I will talk about whether I should continue, and then I will make a decision.
Let us remind you that Team Falcons defeated FURIA Esports in the final of the IEM Cologne Major 2026 with a score of 3:0 and became the major champion for the first time. The MVP of the tournament was recognized as Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov.
