Carlsen on beating Nakamura, facing Firouzja in Esports World Cup final 'I guess it was a combination of both. Obviously this is a match that got out of control completely and it really could have gone either way. It was a total coin flip towards the end. But I pulled through. I would say, I am also happy because at some point, if you play like one bad game and ruin it because of that, that's the only thing, but I played a lot of poor games. Really could have gone either way, so I am super happy,' Carlsen told Take Take Take, reflecting on the see-saw battle against Nakamura in the semi-finals. 'When the bracket broke the way it did, I was quite sure that Alireza would dispatch off his side of the bracket and I would have to beat them both, so that's fair enough. You usually have to beat your main contenders to win. If I win, I will definitely earn a lot of money; if he wins…' 'Team Liquid really needs this (cheering for their players) in the team championship. There are reasons to be relieved for a lot of people. Hopefully, I can give them more to cheer and be relieved tomorrow.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
