Parting ways with 00Nation
Its been 4 great years with Nordavind and last couple of months with 00nation, but this journey comes to an end.
At the begining Zorkthar was the main person who kept an eye on me during 2017 and later on thanks to him Nordavind was interested to sign me at the start of 2018. I had great teammates Zork,Hunterace,Ntr,Freddy,Norage,Kolbein. During next 2 years we travelled around the world playing HS tournaments. We did well in team standings, Hunterace won some tour stops and last call. Later on Casper managed to win Worlds, I was super happy for him. In my opinion our team was one of the best HS divisions. I am super thankful for my teammates back then as they helped me to become better player.
During my stay in NVD/00Nation I achieved a lot but also took a lot of fat Ls.
I have finished top 5 in EU HCT points (2018) which was 2star HS master at the end of the year and got into new Grandmasters system. I have won Czech Nationals twice (2018,2021), won some not that important tournaments, but mainly I was doing really well in GM every season from S2. I made it into play offs 5/6 times (every season from 1st or 2nd place in regular season except the last one). In GM play offs I finished 3rd-4th 3 times, 2nd once, also won one season and my dream to make HS Worlds finally happened. Well then next dream/goal was obviously to win Worlds. I did better than I expected during 2020 Worlds. Mainly because Hunterace prepared with me every day for like a week before tournament. With help from others (Saiyan, Faeli, Fr0zen, Darroch etc.) we had pretty good meta read and figured out great lineup which carried me so much even while not playing 100% perfectly. I was the only player with otk DH, which I think was great call for that tourney, without Fr0zen dont think I would have brought it.
Then somehow I got into finals where I was favored with my lineup, already beat Glory 3-0 in opening match but this time I did not execute the series well and lost. I dont think I will ever be this close, but maybe one day. 2nd place at Worlds is not that bad looking at it back, but it still hurts.
With all that being said, I dont have any bad words towards the team, people from the team management always helped me when I needed and cheered for me. I am thankful for the opportunity to be part of the team last 4years. I would like to thank everyone that’s been a part of the journey along side me and wish 00Nation all best in the future.
