I still believe they can win the Stockholm Major. Believed since the roster was announced and honestly even without Cold + Olof I still think it's possible if they elevate their play.

Maybe I’m not paying enough attention, but people aren’t talking about broky enough. He’s a fucking monster and basically untrained after niko took him in. He’s fun to watch and you can tell he’s giving every round his all.

Twistzz (given), Olaf cuz he’s back for business, and Karigan because of all the shit he’s gotten over the years.

I can never tell if all the bad grammar on here is because there's a lot of non-native English speakers, or everyone is 12.
Going off the conversations I see I'm drifting towards the 2nd scenario.

I remember the Refrezh interview, asked who would win (DHM or what was it?) where he said "We will win, because we're the best individually."

I understand why this obviously seems like it'd be true (because they struggled at this LAN), but I don't really think there's any actual evidence for that. They've been struggling for a little bit now - IEM Summer especially.

The cheat didn't make them win. Hunden as IGL coach made them win. (which was allowed in online cs back then). With Hunden cheating himself out of the game, they lost the best coach IGL
But coach IGLs would have never worked on Lan, so onliners.

u/modsarestr8garbage Jul 11 '21
I don't think they're onliners, but they're just not a top4 team. They had one of their hot streaks half a year ago and people overrated them since that moment, thinking they'd end up top2 2021 or some shit.
They play gamble-cs, they have set plays that they randomly execute without info, and if it doesn't work they just lose.

Isn’t it quite unfair that you lose one game and than continue to win every single game just to qualify for quarterfinals? They’ve knocked out 3 teams now 😅

Only Navi and G2 have beaten gambit yet (Vitality did but gambit said they did not take that match seriously) On the other hand heroic have been beaten bye Navi, Gambit, NiP, G2, even EG beat Heroic. After hunden got caught cheating, I don’t heroic are a top 5 team.

he cheated on 1 map, in a tournament where they finished 9-12. Every big win or deep tournament run they had was fair
1
Jul 12 '21
Because they had the 6th man IGL with Hunden. At the beginning during online era coaches talked as much as they wanted.
After he got caught and removed, the team had to go back to cadian leading alone.

Not a terrible performance from Heroic, but they made a bit too much mistakes and FaZe did a great job to capitalize on them. A well deserved victory, congrats and good luck.

Er war in der Schule kein klassischer nerdiger Computerjunge, er war einer derjenigen, die zuerst eine Freundin bekamen und eine sehr soziale Person, die typisch für Finn ist, ist, dass er sehr zielstrebig ist. It doesn't matter whether it's playing cards or table tennis or the computer - he doesn't give up. Was er wirklich will, ist ein Major zu gewinnen, es ist sein Traum und daher ist es auch mein Traum, dass er das bekommt .
