cadiaN: "NAVI is the favorite against Heroic, but they're under a lot of pressure because they can't lose to us"

NaVi

Heroic

cadiaN, who is the captain and sniper of Team Heroic, shared his thoughts on the upcoming PGL Major Antwerp 2022 quarter-final against NaVi on the HLTV Confirmed podcast. The Dane noted that the "Born to Win" are far from ideal form, while their preparation leaves much to be desired.

Now NAVI is not as strong as a few months ago. I'm very sorry that due to all the events going on in the world, we may not be able to see exactly how this line-up performs over the years. This is unfair, because the current NAVI roster can be called one of the best in CS:GO history.
We are in a difficult part of the grid, but I believe that the best teams cannot be avoided. The opponent represented by NAVI will keep us on our toes even before the game starts. This might not have happened with Team Spirit or Copenhagen Flames. I mean, these are the two teams that we kind of have to beat. Understanding this, it would be difficult for us to avoid underestimation. NAVI is the favorite in the match against Heroic, but they are under a lot of pressure, because they cannot lose to us.

Currently, NAVI is not training the way it used to. By reaching the playoffs, they may think they are close to repeating last year's Major win. I believe that such an attitude can do more harm than good. They are so confident in their strength and, as we see, they beat many opponents, but without training, you will not be able to reach a high level of play. It is a fact.

Recall that Heroic will meet NAVI in the quarterfinals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. This meeting will take place tomorrow, May 20.

PGL Major Antwerp 2022 takes place from 9 to 22 May at the Antwerps Sportpaleis in Belgium. During the championship, 24 teams from Europe, the CIS, Asia, Oceania, North and South America are fighting for a prize pool of $1,000,000, ranking points in the EPT and BLAST Premier tables, as well as one ticket to BLAST Premier: World Final 2022.
