The news brought shock waves through the community, owing to HEN1 and FURIA’s rising success at the top of CS:GO. The renowned Esports expert Duncan “Thorin” Shields have also touched on the matter, with the British “Esports Historian” questing the potential move.

In a vodcast alongside Richard Lewis called “By The Numbers”, Thorin explains that a departure from FURIA would be a bad idea for HEN1.

“His career story is unbelievable. This guy literally got like, for my money twice as good, for years in his career. That’s unthinkable, you don’t do that. It was really good. “

“I will be so sad if HEN1 has to go and play with Lucas, just because it’s his brother if you consider the year he just came off. I actually thought this 2020 Hen1 was a f*cking banger. So, if he would even consider leaving FURIA, or just messing at all with that formula, that’s just sad. If Majors started again tomorrow, he now has a chance to win a Major. “
