Fruitcupx: "We can definitely make it through the MRQ and make it to the Major"

Dust2.us' Jeffrey "Mnmzzz" Moore spoke with Gavin "Fruitcupx" Norman after his BLUEJAYS squad's victory at FRAG x Block 2025.

The American commented on the event, signing with German organization BLUEJAYS, and the team's prospects going forward, among other topics.

Find the interview in its entirety here and some notable comments just below that:

We did see you named the MVP of the tournament after a fantastic performance in the finals. Overall, you had a really strong tournament. How do you feel about being named the MVP of this tournament?

It feels good. I definitely played good in the finals against Marsborne. I will say, I think MVP does belong to Wolffe as he did carry us and played very well during the entire event. This feels a little bit undeserving, honestly.

Right before this event we saw BOSS be picked up by BLUEJAYS, a German organization. That's definitely a gamble for them to sign an American team to return to Counter-Strike after almost two years. Does it feel good to deliver silverware to them in you first outing with BLUEJAYS?

100%, I'm just glad BLUEJAYS came and decided to take a gamble on us. We've been looking for an org for a while and I'm glad BLUEJAYS ended up picking us up.

This has been a fantastic year of firsts for you as a player, Fruitcupx. You went to your first RMR, you've now won your first LAN, you're with your first international organization. What's your reflection on this huge year of firsts for you?

I can't even put it into words. It's incredible that in the amount of time I've been trying to go pro, I got to this point. It took me a year to get to where I'm at. I wouldn't be here without my teammates, my past teammates on TSUNAMI and I wouldn't be here now without my current teammates. My current teammates push me every single day in practice to be who I am right now.

We saw BOSS at the Shanghai RMR come tantalizingly close to qualifying for the Major. With the changes to the format, do we think this is going to be the time that BLUEJAYS make the Major and you're going to go to the world championship?

With our current lineup, with the MRQ, we can definitely make it. Especially after our results today and our results at this event, we can definitely make it through the MRQ and make it to the Major.
