Imperial announce horvy signing

27-7-2021 21:12

This will be the 22-year-old's first Brazilian team since late 2019.

Imperial have completed the signing of former Immortals and INTZ member João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath, the Brazilian organisation announced on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old joins an Imperial squad that is in the process of rebuilding after a turbulent end to the tournament season. The team had to do without the services of Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca in the cs_summit 8 qualifiers after he was denied entry into Mexico, and enlisted the services of two-time Major winner Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga for the final leg of the season.

Imperial is horvy's first Brazilian team since he left Reapers

horvy enjoyed some time in the limelight between 2017 and 2019. He competed in Europe with Portuguese side k1ck and in North America as part of Immortals and INTZ. After leaving Reapers in late 2019, he returned to Europe and went on to play for teams like Baecon, Real Betis and Rhein Neckar, with limited success.

"I worked really hard during these two years to get the opportunity to play for a Brazilian team again," horvy told HLTV.org. "I really missed the atmosphere and the energy that Brazilian teams have."

Imperial added that they will soon announce a new fifth player to replace Arthur "⁠f4stzin⁠" Schmitt, whose future is up in the air. The Brazilian organisation is also on the lookout for a new coach for the team following Luis "⁠peacemaker⁠" Tadeu's departure to Complexity last week.

"It really makes me happy that someone like peacemaker recognised that I was ready for this opportunity," horvy said. "I believe it was his final act as Imperial coach [laughs]."

With horvy's addition, Imperial now have:

Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca
Gustavo "⁠SHOOWTiME⁠" Gonçalves
Cristopher "⁠ckzao⁠" Chalus
João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath

horvy is still around?

Oh, wow, I expected a way more aggressive reply! I'm impressed.

2021-07-27 22:26

not all br are toxic assholes however you tend to remember those more than the understood have a nice guys

2021-07-28 03:06

I figure most people are toxic assholes, didn't really have anything to do with him being Brazilian. People tend to get overly defensive sometimes, he was a cool guy for not.

2021-07-28 04:54

cant believe he is still getting paid to play

2021-07-27 21:33

Who

2021-07-27 21:37

His career path after leaving k1ck can only be described as a train wreck Shame back then he was a nice hybrid who performed well in Europe but over the years he has become a meh support player that changes teams as much as fetzj/peacemaker Prob should go for valorant at this point but good luck to him maybe this team his team sticks and does well (however when your teammates are showtime and zqks I doubt)

2021-07-27 21:43

this team won't stick, he will be lft in a couple of weeks/months. I still wonder to this day why he gets picked up

2021-07-28 02:27

he seems like a nice team mate with good comms and can play most positions. Other than that and that fact he has some experience dunno what else he brings to the table that being said his projects tend to end in dumpster fires so i agree that i dunno how he´s still picked. networking max LVL i guess

2021-07-28 03:03

The team will disband in 2 months. Horvy is coursed.

2021-07-27 21:46

Why it would matter what a team does in position 146

2021-07-27 21:47

you're absolutely dumb bro

2021-07-27 21:59

he will build a team with two more major winners, how tf this wouldn't matter?

2021-07-27 21:54

"It really makes me happy that someone like peacemaker recognised that I was ready for this opportunity," horvy said. "I believe it was his final act as Imperial coach [laughs]." aaand peaceamker is gone (laughs)

Irrelevant player

2021-07-27 23:33

2021-07-27 23:41

horvy is probably the most announced signing in counter strike history that never won anything

2021-07-28 00:02

Wdym with that?

2021-07-28 00:45

he changes team like every day, lets hope going to brazil stabilizes stuff

2021-07-28 02:21

Oh well not once’s that reach the level of hltv coverage

2021-07-28 02:29

2021-07-29 01:06

insane how horvy still gets paid in 2021 to play this game this quote made me fall off my chair: "I worked really hard during these two years to get the opportunity to play for a Brazilian team again," let's see what he's been up to for the last 2 years -> hltv.org/stats/players/events/11332/horv.. 26 maps in 2 years. lol. he really has the best friends / connections I can't believe there isn't a much more talented kid than him looking for a chance
