We sat down with FireGamers star Renato "nak" Nakano and discussed with him his side's progression to the quarter-final stage.

The Brazilian team are through to the playoffs at the ESWC finals after the tournament admins had initially stated they would have to play overtime against H2k Gaming after beating Mojawi Gaming 29-1 due to the Frenchmen leaving the server half way through the game.

Nakano is in full support of the admins' final ruling and believes it to be the only call that could have been made.

"Finally, the right decision, the first one was not fair, because even with the rounds after they left their computers, it would make no difference, because 16-1 was enough for us to qualify, so I think this is the right decision," he told HLTV.org.

"If the rounds they did not play made a difference in the final score, that is fine, but they did not, so we would have won anyway."

FireGamers took a beating in their opening match of the second group stage, losing to SK Gaming 22-8, and Nakano had words of praise for the Swedes' display.

"We were not expecting a result like this, but they were really closed as CT, there was no way for us to get in, they were really closed and played very well," Nakano added.

Nakano added that he feels his team, who will take on mTw in the quarter-finals, should not be written off as he looks to lift his second ESWC title.

"Right now we are very confident, in the first stage we got fnatic, we almost beat them, in the second stage we started a bit bad against SK, but we played well, even against SK we played well, we have fixed some mistakes now.

"Now everything will start over, it will all start from scratch and we will go all over them," Nakano concluded.
