Yesterday, HEROIC announced that their in-game leader Linus “LNZ” Holtäng had been benched. This comes after HEROIC failed to qualify for the StarLadder Budapest Major and a string of mixed results.
The Swede is rumored to be replaced by young Danish in-game leader Christoffer “Chr1zN” Storgaard, who was recently benched on OG.
Together with LNZ, it seems that his Swedish compatriot Simon “yxngstxr” Boije might be on his way out as well. The X user “GromovCS” has in recent times called many roster changes ahead of time, and this time he has claimed that yxngstxr is off the team.
Allegedly, HEROIC are interested in Tim “susp” Ångström, who is currently benched on Wildcard, a team that recently decided to bench their entire roster.
If both Chr1zN and susp were to join, the HEROIC roster would look like this:
- Chr1zN (in-game leader)
- susp
- xfl0ud
- Alkaren (AWP)
- nilo
- TOBIZ (coach)
