Ibrahim bin Jebreen, CEO of Twisted Minds, described the Esports World Cup in Paris as a challenging experience due to the intense competition. Despite not meeting their desired point total, he expressed satisfaction with the team's overall experience as "wonderful and fruitful."

Speaking to Ajel at the tournament, bin Jebreen clarified that no team enters a competition without a clear objective.

Bin Jebreen highlighted the significant impact of the Paris location compared to Riyadh, where the team is accustomed to the home advantage and local fan support. He expressed gratitude to the club's supporters, both those present and those who cheered them on through social media and live streams, for their unwavering support.

The CEO also emphasized sportsmanship among Saudi clubs on the global stage, particularly as the Falcons were close to clinching the title. He conveyed his wish for the best outcomes for Saudi clubs representing the country internationally. Bin Jebreen reiterated that the ultimate goal for Saudi teams is to hold the championship title and expressed hope that the tournament would end with another Saudi victory.
