stavn: Finally winning a big tournament on LAN just solidifies our own self-belief and gives us even more confidence
The talented Danish rifler looks back on an eventful year for Heroic.
2022 became the year that the players of Heroic could finally take the "Onliners" mark off their shoulders.
A Grand Final in IEM Rio and a win at BLAST Fall Finals in Copenhagen solidified Heroic's claim to be one of the top teams of Tier-1 Counter-Strike on LAN. The win against FaZe in Copenhagen was pivotal for the Danish roster, who finished the year as number 1 on HLTV's World Rankings.
In an interview with HLTV, Martin "stavn" Lund explains what the victory on home soil gave the team.
- We have shown that we belong at the top of CS for a long time, but we never got over the hurdle of winning a big tournament. Casters, analysts, and the community always doubted if we could ever do it on LAN, right? So finally winning a big tournament on LAN just solidifies our own self-belief and gives us even more confidence.
Heroic's 2023 season is set to begin in two weeks' time when they are among the participants at BLAST Spring Groups.
