Boombl4 after beating Heroic: They were talking a lot on social media
After the match between NAVI and Heroic, we caught up with Boombl4 to get his immediate thoughts on the result and the mind-games some of the Heroic players tried to affect them with.
Natus Vincere has secured themselves a spot in the upper final at the BLAST Premier Fall Final event, following a 2-1 victory over the Danish side from Heroic. The Russian squad is now only one match away from the big Grand final in Copenhagen, while Heroic will have to fight their way out of the lower bracket.
There is no doubt that the CS:GO community is currently witnessing the start of a NAVI era. The CIS giants have by far been the most dominant team in 2021 winning the Intel Grand Slam and the Major without dropping a single map throughout their title-winning campaign.
At the beginning of the event, Casper “cadiaN” Møller stole the headlines after stating; “We believe we are the only team who can beat NAVI. I think they know it too, to be honest.” – cadiaN told Dexerto in an interview. That’s something cadiaN’s teammate René “TeSeS” Madsen agreed on, as he told the exact same to HLTV in an interview.
“We definitely want to meet them and we want to show everyone that we are the number one competition for them. I think deep inside they know it as well, that we are hard to play against.”
Whilst many must have thought those words from the two Heroic’s players could possibly have affected the Russian-Ukrainian side in a negative way mentally, NAVI didn’t seem to care when the two teams entered the server, as s1mple and company ultimately kicked the Danes down to the lower bracket of the event. However, NAVI’s captain Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov took the time to speak with us in a post-match interview, briefly giving us his thoughts on the result, as well as the statements from the two Heroic players now that they didn’t manage to beat them.
