In our next interview from the IEM Katowice Major, we reflected on Ninjas in Pyjamas's run, which came to an end in the quarter-finals at the hands of Astralis, with Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg.

The veteran commented on keeping the team's spirits high during the quarter-finals debacle on Mirage, where the Swedes ended up denying Astralis a 16-0 victory with a pistol round win in the second half.

Despite that, Ninjas in Pyjamas managed to stay competitive on Dust2, which is normally a map they always ban, so we also asked f0rest about how much preparation the team put in on the map ahead of the match.

The 30-year-old closed out our interview with some thoughts on his team's overall performance at the Major and improving from a group stage exit at the FACEIT Major.
