karrigan reflected on a turbulent period in his career, recalling past struggles with FaZe Clan ahead of the Cologne Major qualifiers. The team entered PGL Bucharest 2026 facing severe difficulties after dropping two consecutive matches in the group stage, including a loss to TYLOO.

Standing on the brink of elimination with a 0-2 record, FaZe faced the Ukrainian squad Inner Circle on April 6. The stakes and arena atmosphere created an overwhelming environment for the roster.

“It was the hardest game I ever played in my life. Try playing when you are 0-2 in the group at a tournament, everyone hates you, and you still need to travel to another country for the next game. It is madness. We were dead,” karrigan said.

The intense pressure left lasting memories for the experienced captain. Even after the event concluded, strong emotions remained regarding the matchup.

“I hate these guys. I will definitely play against them again. They will pay for this game for a long time. I am still angry when I see these names,” karrigan added.
