The Finnish organization has been involved in the game since 2017 and even broke into the top 30 that summer, with a lineup featuring Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo and Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen.

To understand how HAVU managed to assemble a team capable of taking down top-15 squads from a seemingly barren Finnish scene, HLTV.org conducted interviews with players and head coach Taneli "⁠disturbed⁠"
