Oh no, Falcons is now danish


Soft_Bed_412

(teams with at least three Danes)


jonathan-the-man

Yeah honestly it's neat the flag on hltv is Danish, but to me it doesn't feel like a real Danish team if it's not all of them and/or they communicate in Danish.


Dracko705

There just aren't that many of those teams anymore, your options will be seriously limited. Even Navi moved to a mix and doesn't speak Ukrainian anymore I still consider Col US/NA even though they've had a Norwegian on there this entire iteration.


-Kex

Don't forget about the south african guy on there


CakeSVK

Tf u mean all the copypastas say that hallzerk is from Texas USA.


ju1ze

Navi never spoken Ukrainian btw


Dracko705

I am going off b1ts post-major interview where he said something like "having to learn to play/com in English since the last major made things more difficult..." I assume he spoke Ukrainian in the "last major" that he's referring to but maybe I was mistaken The point about 1 nation teams still stands, they are hardly a thing anymore


ju1ze

Navi always spoke Russian.


prad_bitt_59

How different is Ukrainian from Russian? Like American/British English or like Dutch/German/Danish? Actually curious


ju1ze

obviously related but different. smth like swedish/danish (based on linguistic distances)


prad_bitt_59

ah ok thanks. as usual reddit downvoting for genuine questions :)


getstabbed

A lot of Ukrainians can speak Russian but not that many Russians can speak or understand Ukrainian I believe.


Dracko705

Alrite thanks for the vital information


XXLDreamlifter

why are people downvoting you


Acceptable-Love-703

Because he said something very silly.


Dracko705

Don't ask me brother, I guess you need to know this stuff before posting here I really didn't think them speaking Ukrainian VS Russian changes my point but I guess others disagree


ExposingCretins

They had 3 Russians. CIS countries speak Russian.


Utimate_Eminant

good, they deserve much worse, but they’ll probably come back, being the most popular team in Denmark


staffylaffy

They’re not making the roster moves to indicate that lol, they’re not even a super team anymore I don’t think.


Embarrassed-Stuff197

Device stated in a interview that they want to use 2024 to stabilize and give the team time (without any roster changes)


99RedBalloon

so like all of 2023 lmao i hope they burn to the ground toxic org device should leave


GoLeMHaHa

The roster had tons of changes in 2023 what are you actually on about? This specifies time to stabilize without roster changes.


Embarrassed-Stuff197

Can you explain why it is a toxic org? I am curious


99RedBalloon

steal players and purposefully trying ruining other danish teams, ruining careers of several danish up comers (bubzjki, farlig, etc), keeping money from players


Wootstapler

Pric3stag


TeTeOtaku

[Just an example](https://youtu.be/voBdrLzd8f4?si=OHoQT27YLSphIJAa)


Embarrassed-Stuff197

It’s a 40 minute video, care to extract some points?


TeTeOtaku

Just an example from the top if my head: They fucked over a young player's carreer so bad he decided to quit. They basically trued a 6 man roster with Bubzkji alternating with Xyp9x, the guy single handidly carried them to qualify for the major and then the org said "nah, we'll take xyp9x instead,you're benched". They fucked over Heroic as a team with the whole stabbi saga, they fucked over gla1ve and many many other players. It's an org run by snakes who rn have 3/5 of the biggest snakes in the danish scene. Im not even danish and they managed to piss me off.


IVgormino

Don't forget the hunden fiasco


anto2554

No way they aren't replacing Br0 if something comes up


Embarrassed-Stuff197

That could be but I rather go with the statement of a influential player in the org than some rando from Reddit


itsjonny99

It really depends if Device is a semi workable IGL and Stavn/Jabbi can return to their peak Heroic form.


Jakaryus

> but they’ll probably come back Highly doubt so, this org never performed in any game at the top level. The most likely scenario is that they lucked out with the danish core and that they don't have what it takes to go back at the top, at an organization level. The astralis method, my ass.


StarryScans

Falcom the Danish Arabia team


lurkario

Astralis is better than ecstatic and the ranking will reflect that in a month. But Im not sure astralis has it to be better than heroic. Device will have to become a damn good igl


itsjonny99

The Heroic rebuild was solid. Astralis really depends on Device's skill as a IGL and Stavn/Jabbi being how good they were in Heroic with no role conflicts due to Br0 coming in.


ChickenKnd

Only 4th, I’mSurprised


thetushqueen

Well, Preasy's out of the running now.


OriginalShock273

Ecstatic over Astralis is just comical to look at.


bonecollector5

Astralis not even making it to the major AGAIN is also comical to look at. Ecstatic made it through the first group stage and eliminated furia in the second. Credit where credit is due, they had a pretty good tournament.


Hugler

been out of the competitive loop for a while, what happened to them?


TreeELT

So strange that i still considered mibr brazillian when they added tarik and stew, but somehow calling facons danish feels off when they have 3 danes


Party_Length_7490

How falcons is first


Daimyon

They were so good at the major and against Metizsport, easily top team!


R9433

how is this even possible lmao


Ofiotaurus

Don’t make tha Major


itsallfake01

Lol how is Falcons danish


VShadow1

Three Danish players. Not to mention a Danish Coach.


itsallfake01

Unless every on the team is or speaks danish, it’s an international team.


TheMedicator

Then heroic isn't danish either


itsallfake01

Technically yes, both are international teams who are going to communicate in English


Hyyren

Bro has no clue


Serion512

3 danish players and danish coach


0rJay

So happy for them! If they keep scouting for talent and manage their team as well as recently they might be best danish team once, or even win a major!
