“The mutual decision was made due to differing visions for the future of the team,” the Danish outfit said in their statement. In a recent interview with Dexerto, CadiaN shed additional light on the circumstances surrounding his departure from Heroic, revealing that the decision was rooted in a desire for change and differing perspectives within the team.

“I think they would have made us more competitive in the big tournaments and the big stages and they saw it done in a different way.”

CadiaN has been a steadfast member of the organization since 2019, except for a brief stint with FunPlus Phoenix. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in propelling the previous incarnation of the team to the pinnacle of the global rankings during the pandemic era and lifted the ESL Pro League Season 13 title with the team.
