[VOD] HLTV Confirmed with guest Devilwalk: talking NAVI's Intel Grand Slam, BLAST Fall, and FPX

14-9-2021 19:55

The Swedish tactician and Major winner joins HLTV Confirmed on Tuesday at 20:00 live on Twitch.

What caused Vitality's resurgence, how did Liquid manage to lose a 1v5 at match point, and is Natus Vincere's Intel Grand Slam more prestigious than a Major win? These questions, and many more, will be debated about and answered on the upcoming HLTV Confirmed show featuring Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg.

Devilwalk spent over two years with the team's different iteration

The Swedish coach will also talk about his team, FunPlus Phoenix, who have been on a long hiatus from official matches after missing out on IEM Cologne and ESL Pro League, dropping out of the top 30 in the process.

Devilwalk will share his thoughts on being on the sidelines and his expectations for the second half of the year. The episode will also touch on the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall Groups, which see teams such as Astralis and G2 back in action.

"Intel Grand Slam more prestigious than a Major win? " No

3 tier 1 tournaments with the same the best teams playing against you with BO5 final vs 1 major with the same teams as in IGS. Major > IGS seems pretty funny and stupid in this case. I mean maybe its more prestigious but 1 tournament can be a fluke (Avangar in final xD) but 3 in a row ?

2021-09-14 14:36

Other side of the coin though is that for the major all teams are ALL IN. For most other tournaments some teams are undergoing changes or are not in form. All teams goes to lengthes to be ready for the major though.

hltv just baited ?

Fpx lul less relevant than sprout. They went down the hill since krystal left. RMR invites only cuz of the time before krystal left. Then Stiko made a big bullshit bingo on hltv confirmed "we want to become a top 10 team" delusional fans believed that crap and now fpx is just a waste of rmr spot.

So I can skip the first hour and then come back for the real program? Since no ChrisJ in FPX why should this be relevant.

2021-09-14 16:37

I feel like HLTV confirmed keeps filtering through the same kind of irrelevant guests :/

yeah they are not playing a lot rn but im sure they will start playing more at major

2021-09-15 13:07

+1 If he listened to the podcast, devilwalk said, that they are putting everything into the RMR. Playing some officials here and there, but even then they had only limited practice time and wanted to see how they would play.

2021-09-15 17:26

i missed a bit, why they had limited practise time

2021-09-15 17:33

They wanted to have it. They tried some new stuff and wanted to see how they will play, without much preparation for the specific opponents. Also they were invited to the play offs, but devilwalk wanted to play the swiss group stage, cause he wanted the team to have more officials. He also said that they had a longer player break, cause he felt like the team needed it.
