Chr1zN replaces LNZ on HEROIC
According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard has signed with HEROIC after the Danish team paid a buyout to OG. He will join after the CCT Season 3 European Series #11, instead of Linus "LNZ" Holtäng*. Considered one of the rising talents as an In-Game Leader, Chr1zN is stepping into one of the country's top Counter-Strike 2 organizations. These roster moves come as the team missed out on qualifying for the StarLadder Major Bucharest.
A fresh start for HEROIC
The Danish player developed his skills within MOUZ NXT, the academy squad of mousesports, before making the jump to OG Esports in August 2024. He spent a year with the European organization, marked by mixed results—a year highlighted by his first Major appearance last April in Austin. Outside of that event, OG only secured a few notable finishes, such as 1st place at CCT Season 2 European Series #20 and DraculaN #2. OG ultimately decided to bench both him and Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjidi on October 30.
With Chr1zN joining, HEROIC returns to its Danish roots, nearly a year after letting go of Rasmus "sjuush" Beck and René "TeSeS" Madsen. The team, now majority Swedish, had started a downward trend. After qualifying for the BLAST Austin Major, HEROIC claimed the CCT Season 2 Global Finals and MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025 titles, but hasn't won anything since. With their top 17-19 finish at the Major, the Nordic club followed up with disappointing results, ultimately missing the cut for Bucharest.
HEROIC expected roster for now:
- Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard (IGL)
- Älımjan "Alkaren" Bıtımbai
- Simon "yxngstxr" Boije
- Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç
- Linus "nilo" Bergman
*At first, our report stated that Chr1zN would replace Gleb "gr1ks" Gazin, but it's actually LNZ who is being benched.
