Going into 2023 it is Casper “cadiaN” Møller and Heroic who are the ones to chase. The Danes finished 2022 on top of HLTV’s world rankings, where the strong showings at IEM Rio and BLAST Fall Finals were enough to secure the top spot in the rankings.

With the number one spot, Heroic continues a proud Danish tradition led by Astralis, who managed to finish several years on top in their glory days.
