One loss in 2021! How two former ENCE players has dominated tier 2 tournaments
HAVU has proved to be a team to take seriously after their great start to 2021.
Finnish team HAVU is currently on a 16 match win streak. An incredible rise for the Finns, who managed to win Snow Sweet Snow 2 after a victory in the Grand Final against AGO.
Two players have stood out so far in 2021. Sami "xseveN" Laasanen and Jani "Aerial" Jussila have performed incredibly so far in 2021 with ratings of 1.29 and 1.26. They have both previously been representing the other major Finnish team, Ence. Here they were part of the team, that made the Grand Final at the IEM Katowice 2019 Major.
Now the duo is running the show at HAVU with great success. Sami "xseveN" Laasanen joined the team in August 2020, while Jani "Aerial" Jussila was acquired in December 2020.
One single loss has been the amazing outcome of 2021 so far for the Finns, who won $44.000 at Snow Sweet Snow 2.
At the tournament, Sami "xseveN" Laasanen topped the rankings with an incredible 1.32 rating during the 18 maps.
You can see highlights from their Semi-Final match against Winstrike here. The Russian team is actually the only team, that has defeated the Finns earlier this year.
HAVU is currently ranked as number 27 in the world, while they were placed as number 80 at the start of the year.
