YEKINDAR says he called Ancient after FalleN did not want to

FURIA Esports player Marek YEKINDAR Galinskis said he took over in-game leading on Ancient in the semifinal win over Team Falcons at BLAST Rivals Fall 2026, Cybersport.ru reported on Nov. 14.

According to the outlet, YEKINDAR said FalleN calls the map stupid and does not want to call on it. YEKINDAR said he decided to take one map on himself and captain Ancient, and no other map. He added that he is happy with how it went.

Crashes and a personal grudge

YEKINDAR first thanked Falcons for fair play. He said he crashed twice during the match and twice during warmup, and Yuurih also dropped from the game. The second time, a round was restarted after talks with the admins. YEKINDAR said this hurt his morale a little and that he thinks the game turned out very unusual.

He also said FURIA were 0-5 against Falcons this year, if he is not mistaken. In his words, he woke up wanting to play hard and to crush them because it was personal. He recalled losing to them in a Major final and at other tournaments. YEKINDAR called them very good players and said that is why FURIA play: to face strong opponents in such arenas.

What comes next

FURIA beat Falcons 2-0 to reach the final, where they meet Team Spirit.
