After the news broke that Abdul Gasanov | degster would miss the first match of IEM Cologne, the community was filled with accusations against degster. After all, this was the third event he had missed since joining Heroic . In response, HEROIC's captain Damjan Stoilkovski | kyxsan called on the community to stop the baseless accusations against degster.

“Due to the visa issue, there have been a lot of hateful and unnecessary comments towards degster these past two days. He applied for the visa about two months ago. If everything had gone according to plan, he would have joined us for the matches in Copenhagen and Cologne.

This is something beyond our control, and blaming degster is pointless. We hope everything can be resolved soon so that degster can return to the field with us.”
