HeatoN launches gaming academy
By: MIRAA
Time: 2010-06-14 20:50

Counter-Strike legend Emil “HeatoN” Christenssen has announced the creation of his own 'gaming academy'.

Created together with Samsung and Stockholm E-sports Industry, the Heaton Gaming Academy is aimed at helping players with important aspects of the game, such as tactics and teamplay.

Over the next few weeks, Christenssen will release several videos, much like he did for QPAD in recent months.

HeatoN Team Play will be officially launched at DreamHack Summer 2010 this weekend, with a lengthy interview, covering several aspects of his career, already available on YouTube.

Looking forward
2010-06-14 20:53:21
Hopefully this time he raises the level.
2010-06-14 20:56:53
agreed..the Qpad ones were pretty pathetic
2010-06-14 21:01:28
I honestly wouldn't call them "pathetic" knowing that they were aimed at newcomers but this "academic stuff" needs some raise in quality if he wants to address a broader audience.
2010-06-14 21:26:13
surely.
2010-06-15 07:11:36
nice :)
2010-06-14 20:58:14
mpfg.. he should restart his gaming career instead of being a salesman ;/
2010-06-14 20:58:41
+1
2010-06-14 21:02:44
he makes more money now.If he would be in the game once more he would fail right now(just like spawn) their time is over
2010-06-14 22:01:00
lol, why? becouse their cardio isnt that good or not in good physical shape and getting old or something? cmon man its thinking and moving the mouse not basketball or football where you need athleticism.
2010-06-15 10:17:25
The skill is higher now.Players that are now on top ,are better than the players of the past.Plus the game have changed a bit on some tactical things.Spawn could return on an acceptable level,but i dont think the same for Heaton.He has been away for too long.
2010-06-15 16:36:46
+1
they could be good players now, but do you want to be just a good player of the many when you once were among the very best, and some time even THE best? dont think they should try
2010-06-15 16:39:48
and what should keep them from improving their game? maybe lack of motivation but thats about it.
2010-06-15 20:10:38
they simply stoped playing competively.You get beeter buy playing agaist other top players.OR maybe the dont play at all.
2010-06-15 20:18:28
haha
2010-06-14 21:02:40
he cant't play at high level anymore so he wants to earn money i different way... but who's going to believe that he can learn something from HEATON when he didn't play for... 5 years?
2010-06-14 21:03:04
well if you start listing to the Interview he says that he play alot of mix'es ? :)

When they say they love him, love him as a good fan, not as her soulmate. No wonder they did not know this, never had a fan in your life!

HeatoN COMEBACK! You gotta believe in it!!!
2010-06-14 21:21:34
He might make a comeback, but never be the same
2010-06-14 21:22:43
Who is HeatoN talking about at the 2nd video at the minute 2:30?

Interviewer - "And now say it"
HeatoN - "Hi guys i'm hidon"
Both - "HAAHHAAhahaha..."

:DDDD

GeT_RiGhT, SpawN, HeatoN, fr0d, dsn :P
2010-06-14 21:58:46
dsn?? :/ why dsn?.. he may be a star but.... how about f0rest
2010-06-15 05:10:35
DSN consistently frags the best in the world. He's a very underrated player due to the fact that most people just look at forest and gtr
2010-06-15 05:20:35
oh dont get me wrong.. i love dsn, but there are several players better than him in the history of cs..
2010-06-15 11:43:08

HeatoN + SpawN = Win
2010-06-14 22:46:35
for me best player ever

nothing more to say
2010-06-14 22:54:31
wow what a great interview :)
<3 you HeatoN
2010-06-14 22:55:59
Heaton was like Neo ?? or better ?
2010-06-14 22:58:58
neo, forest, roman, etc... > hidn
2010-06-14 23:07:04
back then heaton > all
2010-06-14 23:14:42
:) thats not true...maybe its your opinion...but you dont know better...the truth is that it have never been a player in CS thats have been more dominating then HeatoN have..and no player that have achievements like him..well potti have but no one else. And dont come with some bullshit that it was a lower level back then...ofcourse it was...but it was players like HeatoN that made the skill level go up fast...you can say that he and potti have a big picture in CS history...without them CS wouldnt be what it is today and he is the best player ever.
2010-06-14 23:24:48
why bullshit? I just said that forest,neo, roman etc > heaton, and I am not right? they are much better players, more skilled. I didn't say they weren't so dominating as him, you clearly said there was lower level, and not that amount of good players as now.
Heaton is a "legend" in cs, ok, but he wasn't the best. And my post was " X > heaton".
2010-06-15 02:06:59
"Heaton is a "legend" in cs, ok, but he wasn't the best"

Well he WAS the BEST!....and he is the best player of all times.....And let me put it this way...in 10 year if CS still is played professional then the player atm like GeT_RigHT f0rest and neo would be alot worse skillwise then the players that will play pro in 10 years from now. Thats just how things go...especially in e-sports that grow so fast because it is so new. But that wont amke GeT_RiGhT f0rest or neo any worse cause they where all top players of their time....it slike saying that pele have no chance what so ever to be called the best football player ever just because just because players today are betetr wich they are...but you also have to understand that without pele they probably wouldnt be so good because he helped football to be what it is today....and also if he would have been born 1980 he would probably be the best player in the world also...cause now it is more knowledge etc sports develops. What i am saying is that the best player ever is HeatoN.

2010-06-15 18:11:37
you are wrong. The best player in the world is Messi, (I am from RM so I dont like him a lot) but he is the best, pele was good in his times, he was the best, (like heaton) then maradona came and was the best, and now messi is the best, and if you compare them 3, messi win.
its the same with heaton and forest neo etc

And if Pele wouldnt exist, dont worry, football would be the same. And if Heaton wouldnt exist, cs would be the same.
2010-06-16 21:17:06
Lol you are funny...seriously...ofcourse Messi is better then Pele now...Messi is the best player in the world...but in 50 years from now it will be someone new that is better then Messi and so on....but you cant say that someone cant be the greatest of all times in a sport/e-sport just because it is player ATM that is better? i mean do you really belive what you are saying?....And no..it wouldnt be the same without Pele or Maradona and many other players..how do you think sports devolops? why do think that players are getting better? its because all the players before have gived the new upcoming players so many "skills" for free....its eaysier now..they ahev seen the tricks and the knowledge is better...how you train and how you eat, everything develops....Messi didnt ahve theese skills from the day he was born...he have trained very hard to get them just like Pele or Maradona did...but he got even better...why? is it because he is a better player or is it because he is a very good player that was born later then them and got so much more for free?. I really dont understand your logic...feel free to ahve your opinion...but i still think it is ridiculous :)... and i dont want to talk about this anymore ...but if you just think abit it for a while... i think you even know yourself that what you are saying is wrong.. i really think you do but you probably wont admit it.
2010-06-16 21:51:11
he was the best BACK THEN. but now, as the level gets higher and higher, heaton wouldn't be the best. players have gotten better and he hasn't because he has stopped playing. of course i know it's impossible to compare the players from different eras. in 2003 heaton's skill was more than enough to be dominating but now he wouldn't have a shot against f0rest, gtr, edward and probably many other players.

Post edited 2010-06-15 03:52:45
2010-06-15 03:51:58
Who cares about how he would play now? When he was dominating, the game was around for what? 3 years? Of course the level was lower. But he played the game just as long as the top players back then, and still dominated. Its impossible to compare a time where players played the game for 3 years and now, where players like neo f0rest etc have been playing for like 8/9 years. If they werent more skilled then heaton, then freaking shame on them.
2010-06-15 12:25:09
yeah, that's almost exactly what i said.
2010-06-15 13:41:36
No he probably wont...but im just saying that he is the best player ever in CS not RIGHT NOW...but i am also sure if he would start to play CS fulltime as a pro i know he would be a top player if he had full motivation... it would take time...he have been away for a long time but i think he would be a very stable player in a top team.
2010-06-15 18:14:22
i sure hope so, i like him not only as a player.
2010-06-15 19:37:30
When HeatoN was at his peak, the likes of f0rest, NEO, roman, Edward, and mSx were still bunch of randoms at some LAN shop (probably skipping school too) shouting like little girls watching HeatoN's live matches/demos.

Most of the top players we have today are a part of his legacy. They once looked up to him as an icon who revolutionized CS.
2010-06-14 23:43:53
agree, hidon ftw!!
2010-06-15 01:39:40
only truth you say. heaton is the biggest legend of this game.
2010-06-15 03:58:48
ffs, seriously, if theres some1 who knows what he is saying is u dude.. well said..
2010-06-15 05:08:38
Pretty much resumes everything i think about this topic :)
2010-06-15 12:26:00
Back in the old days Heaton > all (except for some players, like element, spawn etc.)

Though the skill level wasn't very high back then, so he'd get owned today.
2010-06-14 23:24:00
heaton aced like you type comments, ofc at his top form hed hs 5 man again ffs

2010-06-14 23:57:20
I doubt it. He was way ahead of his time and a great player of course, but the skill level today is so much higher than it was before. If he would do a comeback the expectations would be really high, even higher than when SpawN returned to gaming.

I can hardly see HeatoN doing an ace against the top teams today.
2010-06-15 00:09:09
i wouldn't agree with that last sentence. every ace requires luck. cs is too random to tell if someone will/will not do an ace.
2010-06-15 04:03:53
HeatoN on top level = 4-5 years.

Neo on top level = 7-8 years.

It was absolutly a genius.
2010-06-15 11:21:33
Neo hasn't been on the top level since 2002? And HeatoN was on top level more than 4-5 years.
2010-06-15 13:22:44
7-8 years? are you kidding me? He got really known internationally in like 2004-2005.

asta la bista , baby!
2010-06-15 12:23:08
amazing news and good luck to HeatoN
2010-06-15 12:28:38
one two three bullets HAHAHAHAHAH
2010-06-15 12:51:54
it sounds like a great idea , i think this academy is what the players need to improve their skill . n1 heaton , the one and only :D
2010-06-15 13:00:16
Interview was very nice made and he answered so nice :) would have liked to see a fade to the 2 frag rounds he was talking about, so the people who don't know them can see how amazing they were. First ever with the smoke/flash trick! amazing!
2010-06-15 13:06:34
if he comesback, and he said he would with the right guys, i could see this lineup

HeatoN
fisker
SpawN
Snajdan
Tentpole

that's old school and all these guys can still play..when u watch fisker mix's he's still amazing, snajdan is still great, and so is tentpole and SpawN..i think HeatoN and Tentpole would be the two that would need to get in shape the most..

but fuck, that would be awesome tosee..i have a feeling HeatoN will make a comeback and i don't even really like heaton, but he is definitely a top10 player of all time..

and he's right about potti, probably the best CS player of all time, considering what he did for the game.

gl HeatoN in the future, talk to your old mates and make a comeback..everyone would shit themselves :D
2010-06-15 14:03:45
tenpole is always good :) he could step right into any top team in the world and be great without a doubt.. i can promise you that :).
2010-06-15 18:18:48
and btw "he is definitely a top10 player of all time" hahaha :D you really think so? :)
