Imperial Esports from the eyes of captain FalleN
Not many were impressed with Imperial Esports’ past form, having failed to make it to the BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2022. But their consistency in recent times has been admirable as they place second at the FiReLEAGUE Latin Power Spring 2022 and thereafter went on to win the OMEN WGR European Challenge 2022 late last month.
Their qualification to the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 is a strong indicator of the potential that lies within the team with FalleN at the forefront guiding the ship.
FalleN had earlier shared the goal of the team and the direction the newly formed team was headed.
“The legend spot will be brilliant for sure,” he stated. “We just created the team and our focus is definitely on getting to the level where we can play at the Brazilian Major. This is the first step to getting there and it would be great to achieve something already.”
“We’re planning to play for at least two years, that is the goal. Like I said, in the last answer, the goal is to be playing Brazilian Major, that’s the biggest goal for the team,” said FalleN,” He reiterated.
