HEROIC lose AWPer for Complexity match
If you're just waking up in North America to tune into the Complexity game for the opening day of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, you're probably wondering why coach Eetu "sAw" Saha is playing on the server.
HEROIC announced this morning that Abdulkhalik "degster" Gasanov has had some travel issues which will prevent him from participating in the opening match against Complexity.
It's a boost for the NA squad who need some good fortune to come their way after a disappointing end to their campaign at the Esports World Cup earlier this month.
As for HEROIC and degster, he is expected to arrive for the future matches which will hopefully not impact the squad too adversely.
"I feel really sorry for my teammates, but this is not something that we can control" the Russian player said in a post on X. "It feels really bad to miss the first game after the break when you were working really hard for that. I wish my teammates good luck in our first match on Blast and my strong coach
@sAwCSGO will be cheering for my boys today"
The Americans are currently down 5-6 against HEROIC on the Dane's pick of Ancient in Copenhagen. You can tune into the game here.
