Iem Rio Major: We did not wait so much affection from azilians, says theses, from heroic

Consistency is the word that best defines Heroic since the 2020 season at CS: GO. Over the past 2 years, the Danish team has been champion of events such as the European edition of ESL One Cologne Online, Dream hack Open Fall 2020 and ESL Pro League Season 13 and semifinalist of Dream hack Masters Spring 2021 and IEM Katowice 2022. In the Majors, The team has been regular presence in playoffs, being semifinalist at PGL Stockholm 2021, Top 8 on PGL Antwerp 2022 and will be, at worst, again Top 8 at IEM Rio Major 2022.

Still, the team today formed by Chadian, Stan, Theses, Rabbi and Slush is rarely cited as a strong candidate for the main tournaments, and the major goal of the Danish team today is to stop being the team of Almost, which Regularly has good campaigns, but at some point it is on the way, to finally become a champion of the main CS: GO world events, showing that the team is able to raise great trophies even after the end of the online era, in which The main tournaments were remotely played due to the aggravation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the mute.

In an interview with MGG azil, player René Theses Madsen, who has defended Heroic since April 2020 and forms the core of the team alongside Chadian and Stan, stressed that Rio's major can finally be the event that will make the Danish organization change its shelf at CS: GO World.

We are one of the most consistent teams in the world in recent years, one of the few who has reached the playoffs of the last three majors (next to Navy and Curia), but obviously we want more. I am very proud of our regularity, but our goal is Make Heroic stop being the team DP 'almost there' and start winning the big titles. Some people can underestimate our team, and the best answer we can give and win the most important championships. We will have another chance in this major, And today I don't think there is a team we can't win, the player sits.

Speaking about the consistency of the team, theses praises the work of preparing players for all matches, regardless of the opponent, and the very support offered by the organization so that the team within the server to achieve good results. Regarding the missing details for Heroic to start winning tournaments in which the team arrives at advanced stages, the Pro Player mentions that the team still presses too much in the search for these results.

We are a very dedicated team in our preparation. It doesn't matter if we will face Navy or team outside the world top 30, our dedication is the same, and perhaps that is why we are not common to lose to bad luck. At the same time, I feel that yet We press ourselves too much when we arrived at the playoff of a big event, and that takes a little of our balance as a team, which is one of our strengths. We are not a team of world superrestrelas, so this balance between the five players is critical to the success. I think if we correct this excessive pressure we put on our shoulders, we will be able to win these great games in the final stages of major events.

Whether for interactions with the azilian public on social networks, the approach of the lineup with the Lamina and BT tribe reporters or the actions aimed at approaching Heroic with the azilian public, such as the launch of a special uniform for the major with details in Green and yellow, the Danish organization has actually been able to, especially since PGL Major Stockholm, conquer the sympathy of many azilian fans. Still, theses said he was surprised when he arrived in azil and saw much of the public in Ribbentrop support Heroic in matches against other foreign teams.

To be honest, I imagined that some azilians could like us, but I never imagined that we would receive so much affection. Most of the time we played on the Legends stage, I saw that many people were cheering for us, much more than me, I could never imagine and certainly much more than in any championship we played outside Denmark. We had already heard of the passion of the fans from here by the azilian teams, but did not imagine that we would receive a part of that affection., emphasized.

Theses also talked about how little he could enjoy azil in Heroic's rare moments. The player emphasized that the whole team took much less than they would like, but praised the natural landscapes of azil and the country's cuisine.

We went to the beach in one of our early days here, before we debuted at Legends, and we were delighted with the beauty of the river, which we only knew by photos and videos. The beaches, the vegetation, everything here is very beautiful, and we still had The chance to play a little football on the beach. We are not exactly good at this, we are much better playing CS, but we had a lot of fun. Another thing we love here was the azilian barbecue and the food here in general. I think if we passed more Time here, we would certainly earn a few pounds, he joked. Opening photo: Stephanie Lindgren / ESL DISCLOSURE_
