FalleN: "We didn't have any time to practice with boltz"

24-10-2017 13:53

After SK defeated Virtus.pro 2-0 in the first match of Group A, we quizzed Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo about João "felps" Vasconcellos stepping down and Ricardo "boltz" Prass' addition, as well as the team's likely premiere against FaZe later on in the group.

SK came to St. Petersburg fresh off a change from João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos to Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass, who remains contracted to Immortals for the time being as the two sides negotiate a transfer.

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's squad passed their first test with flying colors, defeating Virtus.pro without breaking a sweat (Train 16-5, Mirage 16-6) on their way to the winners' match of Group A.

Hit play below to find out what the in-game leader had to say on the topic of felps departure, a potential first match-up against FaZe, and the team's balance of aggression after boltz came into the team.

Will be a great match. Actually SK surprised me with that result. Let's see if it was just a weak VP or a great SK with boltz. Btw at some point boltz was calling for Immt, so I don't know how much of the IGL role boltz is playing on SK. I say that because FalleN had such an amazing performance, maybe because he gave his IGL role to boltz? Well, just a theory

Weak V.P Without a doubt. From top tier opponents they are currently 4 for 16 (Maps) since 9/9/17. hltv.org/stats/teams/matches/5378/Virtus..

2017-10-24 16:07

If you think Fallen is going to give IGL to boltz I want you to uninstall counterstrike, delete your account from this site, and go be a complete moron somewhere else.

can anyone tell me what fallen said about faze? dont have enough time to watch his full interview :3

He said they're shit and they would not stand a chance against his team that it won't even be a close game

2017-10-24 13:57

can confirm, fallen no respect...

he said FaZe looks great, praised every player. also said SK can stop FaZe, and that FaZe knows that, and that he's looking forward for their match.

2017-10-24 14:47

lie

disrespect for vp

2017-10-24 13:58

Can someone type the interview here? Can't watch it right now.

2017-10-24 14:02

what happened with felps? we (SK) have been struggling in past tournaments, the team tried to deal with it but Felps came to us and said he wasnt feeling very good playing with us. He tried his best to fit into roles that didnt suit his style How long have u been playing with boltz? Adding boltz was one of our only options, we didnt have any time to practice thats a brief summary

great interview by Striker as always. "in memory" of GOD Nix0n ofc. (come back to HLTV Nix!!!! :D)

pre elimination excuse

2017-10-24 14:56

Ikr, It’s like listening to North, MSL always says he is sick hahahahah

Against VP was practice ?! xD

2017-10-24 14:58

Not even shots fired, just a fact :/ poor VP supporters, and their finances paying so much $$ for years and the life is gone from the team Poland pray for a miracle, feels bad

2017-10-24 16:00

2017-10-25 07:50

Miracle came :o Then they got FaZe in a BO3 elimination Surely the miracle isn't that real... less than an hour to game time :D should be fun both teams with a lot to prove

2017-10-26 09:18

Well shit, VP mate.. got heart boys, much respect to not lose focus and prove your mental fortitude

2017-10-26 13:23

Ricado Prass - boltz: Our fatty and cute guy is back to the team since lil star felps was benched. His sprays are the best of the world, he may has german blood in his veins but he is not a cheater tho! Boltz can easily hold a bomb side by himself anytime anyday, spraying and collecting some kills like no one can! Also, this guy is a clutch monster.. enemies cry when they press TAB and see thats boltz left to play the clutch.

2017-10-24 15:17

"hltv best forum and comments in the world" you can tell he was being sarcastic, i bet he have some fun reading the shit yall write here ( the users, not the authors of the news )

2017-10-24 15:56

they are so dumb that they might take this as a compliment, i had to lay it down.

2017-10-24 17:09

know that feel :)

2017-10-24 17:11

thank you, we appreciate that! We smart, we loyal ,we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

2017-10-24 15:29

VP tier 5.

Wow much respect to felps for being realistic, adaption is a big task and the way things were going it must have been tough on him.. very mature indeed. Like boltz, we may see him improve and become a more complete player in the next couple of years, and make a return ? wouldn't surprise, he does have some amazing skill in some areas. boltz puts them back to more of a comfort zone and can expect him to favour the fundamentals, smart player, good fragger.. do we expect a big 2018 ? damn good lineup on paper. Release the fergod.

2017-10-24 15:58

ez4sk glad to see boltz back

2017-10-24 16:44

dont need practise vs virtus pro

2017-10-24 17:32

''HLTV best forum in the world" I ARE THINK THAT THAT! THANK YOU MR FALLEN

haha KNG has some serious anger management issues. Better if their new org hires a tier 1 psychologist.

I mean they need to, that roster with all the anger management they need to perform (I reckon HEN1 broke a mouse in rage at PGL too), they can’t get around not hiring a tier 1 psychologist.

It all depends on how Bit and their new coach handles. If they can't, disband in < than 6 months.

2017-10-25 16:23

Yes indeed. I would like seeing this roster succeeding somehow, as it could be very interesting. So I hope they can handle it.

2017-10-25 16:28

6 replies

They won't succeed(My opinion). They lack temperament and most of them are party freaks who care more about chilling in the pub than putting 100's of hours in practicing.

2017-10-25 16:30

You’re right. I dont see them in the top 8 next major either, but I guess we will see. It’s just sad they stomp on normal CSGO preperation mentality (and actually eSports morale overall) because they are too ignorant to see It’s stupid.
