@h4rncs you were just incredible on this lan bro

Finally home 😮‍💨 Thanks @SPELLANCS @AcendClub & co for invite , trust and making me feel as comfortable as possible for this short period of time! Results were fine, couldve been better but for few days prakk is what it is 😒 I am just gettin On 😊😈😈 Thanks for support! ❤️

Quick Progress update: 1. We’ve advanced to the playoffs of the @StarLadder_CS closed qual. Two more games and we ll be in the main stage, which will take place in Barcelona 2. As for online tournaments, we’re currently 1-0 in the cct. We also played in the nodwin tournament, where we were eliminated 1-3. It was our first tournament with the new roster, so nothing critical - there was a lot of trolling. Still, we could have won almost all of our games. 3. We played in Riga Open 3, where we crushed everyone and made it to the playoffs, but lost to Phantom. Another disappointing match where we trolled a bit. We stayed in Riga because Riga Open 4 is coming up soon. 4. With the new roster, we’ve played 11 matches, losing 4 of them. We’ve climbed 10 spots in the vrs rankings. 5. We're at a bootcamp in Riga. It's been about a week, and we'll be here for a total of 15 days. 6. I love my team and have never believed in anything as much as I believe in them. Their progress and determination inspire me. I’m confident that people will be talking a lot about us in the coming months

@tooizera omg your team is really strong bro. I ll be rooting for you at Urban Riga

Were absent from twitter posting for few days, a lot of grind, a lot of things to do before Riga @UrbanContenders tournament and our team meeting. Close game yesterday vs @AMGamingCS2. We showed resilience on their map pick and made a strong comeback. 1/2

So, our new roster has finally made its debut. Today we beat a pretty strong team from the top 90 and earned 25 VRS points. It was a great match-I recommend everyone check it out. But, to be honest, our debut actually took place three days ago at the open qualifiers hosted by @StarLadder_CS in collaboration with LORGAR. We advanced to the closed qualifiers, which have already been announced on hltv. We have a lot of tournaments ahead of us, as well as several lan tournaments. ASTRAL’s time is coming

Hi everyone. We’ve officially introduced our new players. Let me put it this way: the tryouts were really tough. We invited some truly top-tier players. We talked about psychology, got to know them as individuals, and of course, we played a ton of praccs. @swizcs2 is just an unreal guy. I’m really glad we’re working together. I’m sure that with hard work every day, his nick will be all over the place very soon - it just takes time. @gxxcs2 is a guy who brings a ton of experience and skill to the team. This guy needs no introduction, his actions will speak for themselves. What do you think of the changes to our team?

@RushBManager Oh, that sounds great. I’ve added your product to my wishlist

@voronind11 Best of luck going forward - if you want to test some lineups, you know where to find us 👀

Well, it’s time for a change. I want to say that over this time, we’ve grown tremendously as a team and as an organization. We work hard, make smart moves, and it’s paying off. But in order to take the next step, we need to refresh our roster and bring in some new players. Im very grateful to our players r1ch and astr, and I hope you both have a successful future, but at this stage, we need to part ways. Which players would you recommend? Lets hear your suggestions

@GrimyRannarr Thanks for the advice. Is that a good option?

@voronind11 gxx and swiz

@viewyourteam @heroicgg @ENCE Thank you, we are trying to make progress

@voronind11 @heroicgg @ENCE Very honest review of your run. I think you still had a great showing, no blowouts against the bigger teams either. Solid progress, keep it going! 💪

For us, Draculan has come to an end. We confidently beat those opponents who we objectively surpass in terms of skill level, and lost to teams that are currently at a different stage of development. The difference is that teams like @heroicgg and @ENCE dont forgive mistakes - they punish every inaccuracy. If we want to compete consistently with teams of this level, we need many factors to work in sync. We will get there. Its a matter of time and systematic work. We are returning home and continuing our journey in online tournaments

@qwee_sneaker @heroicgg @ENCE Thank you for your kind words! Yes, we're playing against them today on nodwin

@voronind11 @heroicgg @ENCE You guys played good, progress is shown the last couple of month! Do you guys play today against olybet?

@gloxenko @heroicgg Thank you! We will do our best

@voronind11 @heroicgg good luck

Our next opponent has been determined - HEROIC(@heroicgg). I understand that for many, this match seems predictable, and some have already mentally recorded the result. I dont think so. In esports, as in any competition, the outcome is never determined by the loudness of the name or current expectations. The actual result depends solely on us. If we get in the right mindset and play as a real team, that will be enough to give us a good chance of winning. I sincerely do not believe that any player on my team is inferior to anyone on HEROIC in terms of individual skill. The difference is that they have learned to consistently get into the right state of mind and maintain it from match to match. And that is exactly what we need to match. See you tomorrow

Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since my last post - I was very ill. Now Im feeling better and can tell you how things are going. We made it to the quarterfinals of the @digital_crusade (draculan) upper bracket, beating the top 55 team VRS today - this is our first victory of this kind. To be honest, I was surprised that @BetclicApogee only took 9 rounds. Based on their ranking and online play, they looked very impressive. But I cant help but mention our guys - they took a huge number of clutches and post-plants. This is where real skill comes into play. Today we were significantly stronger

Hello everyone. Today we had three games on hltv, can you believe it? We make the most of our weekends when our schedule is free. Unfortunately, we lost all 3 games. Let me put it this way, I understand that this is negative and I am human too, and I get upset at times like this, but if you strive for success, you have to think differently. You need to think about whether you are progressing or not. There is a typical phrase "defeats make you stronger" and you cant do without it. We lost three games today, and I really hope that all the guys will watch the demos/pov and take the feedback as calmly as possible, minimizing the same mistakes in the next game, whether they are game mistakes or mental. I believe that professionals are defined by their progress and discipline, which subsequently brings victories. This is my opinion, based on my experience. But at the same time, it's a really difficult question, and I hope that a professional has read this and will share their opinion on it Just focus on your process, on the quality of your actions. Think about how to improve your results; dont worry about numbers, opinions, and so on. And also remember that no one is rushing you, so do everything at a moderate pace and consistently

Hello, everyone. Today we played our third match at @CCT_CS against @NexusGamingRo. I am very proud of my guys, they are really great. We lost the first map, but won the second 13:0! This is our first 13:0 on HLTV. +25 VRS points and we continue to grow. Stay tuned for more. Thanks for the game and gl next @fNkcs2 @XELLOWcs @BlytzCS @s0undcs fnl.

@AtroCasting @infiniteggro Yes, at the moment we are covering all expenses ourselves. But we are working hard now to find productive sponsorship relationships

@voronind11 @infiniteggro Genuinely curious but do you guys have a main sponsor covering most of the costs for the traveling or do you spend it out of pocket?

Draculan 5 will take place in Romania from February 24 to 28. We're in the group with @infiniteggro hermine and zajezdzacze . Good luck, guys, let’s show some good cs. By the way, if you're interested, here are our approximate expenses for the last LANs (for 7-8 people). This includes transfer, accommodation, food and other things Roman Imperium Cup III - €7,000 DraculaN 3 - €6,350 DreamHack Stockholm 2025 - €5,860 What do you think, is that expensive for a 2-3 day trip?
