This is part two of two about Hiiva's career. Hiiva had a long career playing at the ERL (European Regional League)/Challenger level and made many LAN finals over those years. He had a number of cracks at the EU LCS/LEC level but often on troubled rosters. In 2014 he stood in for Gambit when some of their players could not attend a UK road show stop due to visas. In 2017 Hiiva played on a scuffed edition of Origen for 12 games. In 2019, thanks in part due to his Misfits team winning EU Masters, he got eight games with the LEC team in a bizarre rotation of talents from the Academy team. From 2021 on Hiiva has been a coach and has plyed his trade at Misfits, where Vetheo and Razork broke out as talents, and more recently with FNATIC, who made the Season Finals in 2023 and went to Worlds. In part two, Hiiva discusses his work with Carter in Misfits, why other teams consistently let Misfits get their picks, shifting to FNATIC, working with talents like razork and Humanoid, the debacle of S13 Worlds and his legacy in this game. This interview was recorded on the 18th of February, 2025. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 Carter as a coach 02:32 Teams drafting vs. Misfits 10:10 Coach he was impressed by 12:18 FNATIC 13:41 2023 LEC Winter roster 16:08 Nightshare 18:12 razork 22:06 Humanoid 26:12 Trymbi 29:32 Noah 33:21 2023 glow up 34:55 S13 Worlds 36:51 Scrims 40:14 Career trajectory 42:42 Development 44:22 Leaving FNATIC 46:35 Legacy 49:51 Famous draft 52:04 Final words Subscribe this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfeeUuW7edMxF3M_cyxGT8Q/join ► Check out bite-sized Thorin on my new clips channel: https://www.youtube.com/thorinclips ► Follow me on social media: https://twitter.com/Thorin https://facebook.com/Thooorin https://www.instagram.com/thooorinofficial/ ► My written content: https://iamesports.substack.com/ ► My stream: https://www.twitch.tv/Thorin ► You can discuss this content at my Discord server: https://discord.gg/rDKxKfM ► Want esports predictions?
