Summary

The IEM Cologne Major is right around the corner, and we are kicking off our special run of episodes with none other than Yasin ‘xfl0ud’ Koç! Banks and Devilwalk sit down with the Turkish star to discuss his roller-coaster year with Heroic. From the shock of being benched to stepping back into a chaotic rebuild, xfl0ud holds nothing back. We dive into the team’s grueling schedule (11 events in 5 months!), the transition of yxngstxr to the AWP role, the impact of their new performance coach, and why they sometimes struggle against Tier 1 teams despite dominating Tier 2. To wrap things up, xfl0ud answers community questions, shares his Major Pick’ems, and explains why prime XANTARES is the only one who could stop donk. Join our Discord Check us out at allaboutcs.gg
