molodoy addressed his recent dip in form and health battles in a candid interview during ESL Pro League Season 24. The FURIA AWPer struggled with intraocular pressure issues in 2026, which caused pain and hampered his focus on the server. Instead of a deep structural crisis, he attributes the team’s struggles and his own declining stats to general inconsistency.

Trying to adopt a passive team role failed to yield results, prompting a return to his natural approach.

“I need to play more aggressively because that is my style. It works for me, and I do not need to stop doing it,” molodoy said.

His eye condition has now improved significantly, requiring only a short-term continuation of prescribed medication.

Looking ahead, molodoy aims to support FalleN before the veteran’s expected retirement at the end of the season.

“My eye feels better. I would not even say I still have a problem. I just need to keep using the eye medication for a little longer, and everything is fine,” molodoy added.
