nicoodoz: "I was told there's a high chance that I will have to play in Dallas."

In an interview for HLTV, Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjidi shared that he had been warned that he might perform in the tournament as a substitute. His readiness paid off as HEROIC made a significant breakthrough in the tournament.

The team's journey was not without obstacles; their first game against Virtus.pro revealed some issues, but it served as a wake-up call.

We were really rusty in communication... After that game, we had a good talk, and we improved for the BO3

nicoodoz explained

As for the future of nicoodoz, it remains uncertain, but he assured that he has several contract offers, confident that his career is far from over, despite current uncertainties.

I have a few offers... I won't be left without a roof over my head

he joked

With HEROIC preparing to clash with Vitality in the quarterfinals, confidence within the team is high. Past successes against them fuel nicoodoz's belief in HEROIC's potential to advance further.

Last time we beat them, they were number one in the world, so I'm very confident that we can beat them again

he said

When asked how far they could go, he responded that he had seen other tournaments where teams with a substitute player made it all the way, so hopefully, we can do the same. As I've said before, we have no expectations, no pressure; we'll just do our best, and at the end of the day, we'll have no regrets.
