\n \n How Often Do Aces Happen in CS2? Premier vs FACEIT <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

WICADIA GETS STAR PLAYER TREATMENT<\/h2>\n

Wicadia produced another strong performance as Aurora defeated 9z in the playoff rematch after losing to the same team in their opening series.<\/p>\n

ash said the team have increasingly learned to trust Wicadia rather than trying to control every decision he makes inside the server.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re trying to trust him as much as possible because he\u2019s a guy who doesn\u2019t want to be told what to do so much.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

According to the coach, Wicadia needs freedom to make his own decisions, even if some of his plays can initially look unusual.<\/p>\n

ash believes his game sense makes that approach worthwhile and described the freedom given to him as star player treatment.<\/p>\n

You kind of give him the star player treatment, where he can just go a little bit random sometimes.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

ASH SEES POTENTIAL BEYOND TOP 20<\/h2>\n

The coach was particularly positive about the individual development of Wicadia since the international Aurora lineup was formed.<\/p>\n

ash said the player has also made significant progress with his mentality after several conversations inside the team.<\/p>\n

Maybe Wicadia gets top 20 this year, maybe not, but there\u2019s potential to be significantly more than that.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

He described Wicadia as an exceptional talent and said there has recently been a breakthrough in an area that had previously caused problems for the rifler.<\/p>\n

ash believes there is still considerable room for Wicadia to improve despite his recent performances.<\/p>\n

AURORA WANT MORE CONSISTENCY<\/h2>\n

Aurora entered Thunderpick World Championship after finishing second at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 and third at ESL Pro League Season 24, but opened the event with a loss to 9z.<\/p>\n

ash described that first series as one of the worst performances from the team and admitted the lineup struggled across several areas.<\/p>\n

We just played terribly.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

He mentioned the quick turnaround following ESL Pro League, limited rest and illness inside the team as possible factors, but stressed that they were not enough to excuse the level shown.<\/p>\n

Aurora responded by winning four consecutive maps, first eliminating Ninjas in Pyjamas and then defeating 9z in the rematch to advance.<\/p>\n

ash said the next priority is finding a more consistent level, especially on the worst days when the pressure is higher.<\/p>\n\n

AURORA PREPARE FOR FURIA<\/h2>\n

Aurora will face FURIA in the semifinals of Thunderpick World Championship 2026.<\/p>\n

ash expects a close series and said Aurora will need a better performance than they have shown during parts of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The coach also dismissed the idea that the current results are simply part of a honeymoon period for the new lineup.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think we\u2019re in the honeymoon period, but I think the skill level keeps us quite solid anyway.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

According to ash, communication inside the team has become more direct, with players now more willing to discuss problems and areas that need improvement.<\/p>\n

The semifinal against FURIA will provide another test for a lineup that has now reached deep stages at three consecutive events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
