Super proud to have been a small part of the last ever CSGO Major and happy to see so many faces old and new ❤️
Shoutout to
@heroicgg
for having me and all the amazing people who were able to sign my jersey (including the French guy with the same gamer tag) 😁
For people who are curious about who's playing in the Major Open Quals, I scoured through all of the currently signed-up teams (as of 03/01/24) and categorised all the juicy ones here:
Heroic's debut incoming 🔥
00Nation playing with FASHR & VLDN 👀
Some fun mixes 🙌
From a trip that was booked 5 hours before my flight, a suit bought with hours to spare, I think I’ve done pretty well for myself 🥂
Thank you
@HLTVorg
for making what I do possible, (and
@RJSesports
&
@boocull
for housing me ❤️) hopefully I’ll be better organised next year 😄
FINALLY, 816 teams later, the finalised, exhaustive list of all notable teams competing in the EU RMR OQ
#1
(to the best of my knowledge) 🙌
Accurate as of 05:30 on 08/01/23 ⏰
Good luck to everyone competing! Catch me casting Heroic's OQ run on ttv/Heroic 🔥

Another year older but my first full time in esports - it’s been a hell of a ride but I can’t wait to see what the future holds 🥳
Thanks for all the lovely messages and can’t wait for the next event ❤️
Shoutout to all the amazing people keeping me company at the
@heroicgg
booth ❤️
We have the hottest fans, hottest team and the hottest room in the building 😎
Never have any luck with secret Santa, but super happy to welcome
@kyxsancs
to our now-completed lineup 😁🥳
Been following him since the Bluejays days and have always been impressed, so I’m excited to see what he can do for our new side 🔥
Turning 20 tomorrow and I can safely say I'm the happiest I've been in a while. Can't wait to see what I can do in Esports going fulltime in September - thanks to all the amazing people and TOs who've allowed me to get to where I am now, you've made this decision much easier ♥️
@TravCS
In an ideal world +Jerry and move electronic back to his old roles but I’m not sure if the org would be willing to go through with that signing
So much hard work from the players, coaching staff and everyone here in Oslo has been put in building up to this moment and as you can probably see I couldn't be happier with it all paying off ❤️
P.S: Special thanks to
@SondreSheet
for producing and making this amazing studio 😍
Regardless of your opinion on esports degrees, if you're looking for some advice or want to get some industry experience my dms/emails are always open (and I promise I won't charge you £27,750!) Since joining Heroic I have made it my responsibility to read through... 1/4
🎓 Bachelor degrees aren't the only choice anymore.
With esports education on the rise in the UK, more students should be considering a Higher National Diploma in esports, argues Iain Earle of Salford Business School (
@salfordbizsch
).
If you've been messaging me about getting some more experience in esports, here's an opportunity for you. We're focusing mainly on interning video editors & SMMs but don't hesitate to apply with other roles in mind. We've already accepted 2 applicants and I'm happy help with CVs!
Been a very busy past few weeks at
@heroicgg
and we have a LOT of big events coming up 🔥
Going to be talking about everything tonight and answering any questions over on the Heroic twitch:
⏰ 17:00 CET
🎥 ttv/Heroic
We’re not quite leaving our Danish roots behind just yet: from Flames to a fiery performance on Preasy, welcome to the unverified 🐐
@nicoodoz
🔥
Also the response to these videos has been insane so thank you everyone for the kind words! ❤️
I knew that when I joined Heroic, I was coming in at a pretty tumultuous time, but that definitely doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier. Thanks for everything you’ve done
@Xizt
❤️
Some highlights from 2023 🔥
🇵🇱 First International LAN cast with some great colleagues
🇫🇷 Met some cool people whilst getting rolled by GamerLegion
🇳🇴 Moved to Norway and joined Heroic
🇩🇰 Ran a great show for the fans in Copenhagen
Just reading through the messages I’ve missed from this weekend and I want to say a huge thank you to the awesome HEROIC, skins and CS communities for the really kind words ❤️
These events take a lot of work but I’m happy I get to meet so many talented, lovely people every time
Super excited to start my first proper long-term project in esports! 🥳
I've got plenty of cool things lined up over the next couple of months with CCT and I can't wait to get back to casting with them from tomorrow running off my post-Major hype 🔥
After a long 7 days in a row of casting, we round things out with a banger! 🔥
I also want to give a huge shoutout to the
@ENCE
Academy fans for their incredibly warm reception and rare positivity even through the tough loss, it really made my night ❤️
THEY HAVE DONE IT!
@KRCGenkofficial
DETHRONED THE TITANS. THEY ARE THE NEW KINGS OF
@ESLBenelux
!!
What a day. What a cast. Lost for words but it was amazing ❤️
What a ride 🤯
It has been a wild 4 days of qualifiers and arguably one of the toughest runs to get here facing down both of the highest-ranked teams…
But after some insane performances we now just have seeding left to play for 🔥
So proud of the boys 😁
Had a great time with
@GrimyRannarr
(and Heroic’s Pro League trophy) over the weekend too 🔥
Thanks for letting me bunk with you and I’ve already started training for the next traffic lights match 😘
Craziest play I’ve ever seen in all my years watching CS - Nato’s teammate run-boosted him whilst he had an awp, he lands a mid-air, cross-map noscope headshot on the first kid (as he tried to hide) then does THE EXACT SAME THING without missing a single shot in-between…
Another round of teams have been signed up to the Open Quals (as of 05/01/24), including some big names in 🇪🇺 fnatic, 🇫🇮 HAVU, 🇩🇰 Sprout and 🇪🇺/🇪🇸 Movistar KOI/Riders
Endpoint are forcing MiGHTYMAX to play by himself as they look for more Israeli talent :(
Spicy new talent 👀
Had a slow start to the year from an Esports standpoint but the past 3 months have been a dream...
Casting:
-Pinnacle Cup IV
-CEE Champions
-Republeague CQ + Group A
-ROG Masters CIS Finals
-WePlay Academy League
Interviews:
-PGL Major
-Pinnacle Cup Championship
I love CSGO❤️
I’m going to be taking on a new project outside of the casting world next month, so I’m thrilled that before my break I’m going to be working my first ever S-Tier event 😁
Excited to be joining a lovely cast of people and a host of top teams for a banger show 🔥
🔴 Coming at you live from Paris! 🇫🇷
I’ll be running the Heroic stand inside the arena all day every day til the end of the finals so stop by and say hi 👋
Check the
@heroicgg
socials for more 🫡
Reached one of my milestones for this year early and finally gotten myself a Liquipedia page 😁
Excited to be adding more casts to the tally going into Summer and working with even more amazing people 🔥
I’m grateful to be where I am right now ❤️
On a separate note, so proud of the boys - what an insane run 🤯
♦️ Knocked out that other Danish team
♦️ Avenged ourselves against GamerLegion in a (lower bracket) semi-final
♦️ Only lost to G2 the first time because m0NESY 1v5’d us on Overpass
Underdogs no more 🔥

Be there on Sunday at 15:30 for the big one at
@cctour_gg
I love my job 😁
Never been this personally invested in a Major before so this one stings a lot but huge respect for
@paiNGamingBR
and I wish them the best of luck tomorrow 💪
What an insane ride, super proud of the team and super proud of the production we set up around them
@SondreSheet
😘
Onto Copenhagen, Kato and Bucharest next ✈️
Look what just showed up at my door 👀
Huge shoutout to
@TeamLiquidCS
for the care package! The hoodie is currently the comfiest I own and I’ll be sure to rep the T-shirt when the CS squad is playing next 🔥
Wow, not felt a sting like that in a while being so invested in a team, but we go again tomorrow and I’m looking forward to having an excuse to keep casting games 😎
