In a post-match interview after defeating Astralis, malbsMd said this victory was for his former M80 teammate Swisher , and mentioned the personal conflict between Swisher and former Heroic member stavn.
malbsMd : “First of all, this was for Swisher, you know what I mean? It felt really good to beat them. So I am very proud to have won this match, I did my best to get on stage, also because this match was very important to me.”
Why did malbsMd talk about "fighting for Swisher" here? If we turn back time to last February, we will get the answer.
Swisher : “Thank you for the wonderful memories, thank you for being with me for almost two years. Thank you for lying to me for more than half a year, thank you for cheating on me, thank you for doing all this before marrying me. Thank you for saving me time, now let's focus back on CS.”
Obviously, this is his verbal attack on the scumbag woman after facing emotional failure, which in itself is not problematic.
So at that time, malbsMd also commented under this post.
malbsMd : “I am sorry that this happened, but brother, you have to stay strong. Although this is terrible, you know you have us, your friends will support you, no matter what you need.”
At that time, the domestic and foreign communities widely spread that the third party was the then HEROIC player stavn, but despite the various opinions, no factual result was obtained.
Later, with the shocking "backstabbing incident" of HEROIC at the end of 2023, the tip of the iceberg of this matter was mentioned again.
According to the "leaked information" from foreign media, stavn was referring to himself in the third person at that time.
stavn : “stavn didn't know that was Swisher's girlfriend.”
Jabbi : “jabbi didn't want to carry, but wanted to win.”
As time passed, this matter seemed to have been gradually forgotten by people—but malbsMd did not forget, and he also defeated Astralis, completing the "battle for Swisher".
In this match, he also achieved his best offline single-map stats.
