The Second Victory Was Much Harder
According to Sneyking , The International 2025 was emotionally tougher for him than the first championship—and that's what made it valuable. The final was intense: the team was behind in maps but managed to make a comeback and win.
The second victory felt better than the first because the final was incredibly tough. We were losing in maps and managed to come back, winning two in a row. The harder it was, the more satisfying the result.
The player noted that he was especially happy for his teammate Cr1t-, who won TI for the first time in his career.
For Cr1t-, it was very emotional. He is usually reserved, but he was truly happy then. I think it was a special moment for the whole team.
Falcons — A Bag of Emotions
Commenting on the team's atmosphere, Sneyking smiled and admitted that Falcons is a mix of success, chaos, and youthful zeal.
Falcons is a bag of emotions. We are very successful, but sometimes overly provocative. Sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed reading what my teammates write, but we have the title, and that speaks for itself.
About Malr1ne and ATF : "I See Myself at Their Age"
He emphasized that he does not condemn the behavior of the team's young stars and tries to guide them with his experience.
I see my past in them—the same youth and foolishness. I've been through all those jokes and emotions too. With age comes balance, and for now, we just try to explain to them where the line is.
Sneyking specifically noted the contribution of coach Aui_2000 , with whom he won both The International titles.
Aui is a very systematic coach. He has a clear structure, and the results speak for themselves. It suits me—I wasn't as organized before, but thanks to his approach, I've improved.
