Heroic complete roster with niko signing

20/4/2020 - 18:03

Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen has joined the Heroic roster, rounding out the team's five-man lineup, the Danish organisation announced on Monday.

Heroic removed Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen and Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer from their active roster at the start of April, announcing big changes to the team upon their return from North America and a failed transfer to FunPlus Phoenix, whom they had represented for one game in Flashpoint 1.

niko has been inactive since OpTic disbanded their team in October

After signing René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen from Copenhagen Flames, who impressed in first edition of Flashpoint, Heroic have now completed their lineup by buying niko out of his contract with OpTic.

The 21-year-old is fairly experienced for his age, having represented Heroic between 2016 and 2018, before going on to play for North, Rogue, and OpTic. He has attended 10 Big Events since 2016, with a 3rd-4th place finish at IEM Katowice 2017 and a win at DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 his biggest achievements.

"I am very happy to work with Nikolaj!," Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller told Heroic's statement. "I think he is one of the best players in Denmark and definitely was a high priority for us. His communication is very good, and he has a vast experience of the game.

"This also marks the new Heroic roster, which I feel will be very successful, with time. It's a lot of young and raw talent, and it will take a lot of hard work to reach the results we want.

"I am, however, confident that we can reach new heights with this roster. I have high hopes for the future!"

The new Heroic lineup will make its first official appearance in the Elisa Invitational, a Nordic tournament with two spots at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown on offer. Following niko's addition, the team now look as follows:

Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller
Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup
Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund
René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen
Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen

Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen (benched)
Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer (benched)

2020-04-20 18:18

Danish Boltz

2020-04-20 19:12

2020-04-21 05:22

not bad at all

2020-04-20 18:04

wow never thought faze would sell him

2020-04-20 18:05

niko left faze for this LUL

clickbait, whos this?

i really can't track down Danish roster changes. Apart from astralis all other Danish teams change their roster 3 to 4 times per year.

2020-04-20 18:06

+1 and it has always been that way...

2020-04-20 20:48

Decent team tbf

niko > NiKo at the moment, hope NiKo starts to perform soon

Drinking beer> playing as good as NiKo 2018

2020-04-20 21:09

Never gonna get further than some DH Opens with this roster

2020-04-20 18:08

EZ nikola kovac

Good choice

2020-04-20 18:09

Not gonna lie, this team looks fire now.

Yeah this looks a lot better.

+1000

2020-04-20 22:10

Teses is a bot and how is either of them even remotely close to being as good as es3tag. Snappi i can understand.

2020-04-20 18:36

Teses is a great player with huge star potential. Niko is a good roleplayer.

He's done fuck all in CPH Flames. Niko is good. Es3tag is a level above both, in noway is their new roster better. At least it's 4 young players and cadian, should be a good environment for them to develop.

2020-04-20 19:37

What do you mean by fuck all, he was their star player with farlig and looked really dangerous.

2020-04-20 19:39

CPHF was the best theyve ever looked with TeSeS, even with refrezh regularly under preforming,,,

2020-04-20 20:47

There can be only one Scandinavian roleplayer and i'm afraid his name is Sebastian, not Nikolaj.

2020-04-20 19:57

8/8 BAIT

2020-04-20 18:10

oh my god how many chances this niko guy has? he isnt anything special lol

Lol yeah

2020-04-20 18:31

COOL!

Dident know that Niko could speak danish!

2020-04-20 18:12

Serbian Legend NiKo going to this noob team wtf

2020-04-20 18:20

great moves

2020-04-20 18:21

deserved, I wondered when he would get on a team again he never looked like the main problem on those shitty rosters he was on

2020-04-20 18:22

Niko is only 21 wtf thought that guy was Boomer like snappi

Maybe you confused him with MODDII

who by the was kicked when he way the best (or 2nd best) in the team playing bitch roles

2020-04-20 23:04

""Heroic have now completed their lineup by buying niko out of his contract with OpTic."" Thats why they waited. the hoped astralis would pay 800.000 dollers for esetag so he could leave Heroic 3 months earlier

worst picture of danish niko ever.

2020-04-20 18:23

Ja, det er jeg, modsat 99% af folk her i tråden. Folk ved sgu da godt det ikke er NiKo fra Faze, din tumpe. Det kaldes trolling.

2020-04-20 21:05

2020-04-20 18:33

Why would niko leave FaZe? Actually its probably even better cause FaZe are doomed! gl Nikola!

2020-04-20 18:34

8/8

2020-04-20 18:35

Why not farlig?

RIp Faze???

2020-04-20 18:41

This team will never achieve anything

2020-04-20 18:42

rip faze

2020-04-20 18:54

sick niko

2020-04-20 18:56

I don't like the decision. Honestly, niko is to inconsistent for a team that want to be a solid T2 team.

2020-04-20 18:57

Right after Xyp best danish anchor, very underrated.

2020-04-20 18:59

People stupid in here... he's a beast

2020-04-20 20:50

clickbait

2020-04-20 19:03

RIP FaZe, hope they add GOD HUNDEN

2020-04-20 19:05

Time will show how he fits the roster I think they won’t be able to stand among tier-1 teams, but for t2-t3 scene they looks good

2020-04-20 19:18

Unexpected.

2020-04-20 19:31

Disbanned fpx , unlucko fuluko

es3tag benched wtf?? isn't he in astralis already??

2020-04-20 19:45

I think he is still on heroic until may 1st or June 1st, I forgot the date, but he isnt part of astralis just yet

2020-04-20 20:03

ok ty

2020-04-20 20:15

Almost got me there

2020-04-20 20:02

Welcome back

Finally, NiKo leaves FaZe

2020-04-20 20:11

From Faze to tier 3 danish team OmegaLUL

2020-04-20 20:12

called it

2020-04-20 20:18

It's like we've been here before

2020-04-20 20:21

Niko playing for 2 teams at same time. What would he do if Faze play against Heroic?

2020-04-20 20:25

Should've gotten Farlig...

And keep Snappi, yes.

2020-04-20 20:36

yes

2020-04-23 01:44

LULW why Optic, Heroic, and North always trading players to each other LULW

2020-04-20 20:39

Actually a decent little line up.

2020-04-20 20:43

FaZe needed an igl anyways and niko was bad at igling, so, good for both sides

inhuman reactions

imagine leaving faze for heroic LOL

Not farlig damn

2020-04-20 21:04

one more joke about Nico and I'll hang myself

Niko left faze for this. Now go hang, gl.

2020-04-20 22:38

The one and only, Niko!

2020-04-20 21:43

good news

2020-04-20 21:44

Yup looks like a team that will do nothing at all.

2020-04-20 21:54

Damn Niko has gotten fat again

2020-04-20 22:09

Fake niko = fake news Faze niko = faze news Heroic niko = heroic move Heroic news = faze move Rain to heroic = es3tag to faze = great move Illuminatic shieeeet

snappi jugi ryxxo lukki toft or celrate top 4/5 denmark with potencial

2020-04-20 22:49

a worrying amount of people saying NiKo is leaving Faze... what if some of them are serious

2020-04-20 22:54

Recycling same names like 50 times

2020-04-21 09:55

Heroic is probably unironically better now TeSeS is at least comparable to Es3tag as a rifler and niko is definitely an upgrade over Snappi as a fragger

2020-04-22 10:46

when are orgs gonna realize niko is fuckin worthless

2020-04-22 13:31
