Heroic's new Belarusian STAR AWP-er (EXCLUSIVE) | TEDD TALK #32 w/ gr1ks

Описание: After being announced as ‪@HEROICgg‬ 's new AWP, and replacement for Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia, on the 29th of June, 19-year-old Gleb "gr1ks" Gazin joins me for the 32 episode of "TEDD TALK".

We spoke about the early gaming days of the Belarusian. Going from 11 years of playing Ice Hockey & other sports to Counter-Strike. From struggling to improve & being rejected by Spirit Academy & Nemiga Academy for not being "good enough" to becoming one of the brightest talents in the Tier 2 scene, and now - his transfer into Heroic's main lineup.
