On Sunday, Heroic announced that they will be fielding Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke at BLAST World Final as a substitute for Martin “stavn” Lund, who will get extra time off in this winter break to rest. That also means he won’t be traveling with the rest of the squad to Abu Dhabi, UAE, for the highly-anticipated BLAST Premier World Final event.
At the World Finals, k0nfig will be making his LAN return for the first time since his contract with Astralis was terminated in October following a controversial incident in Malta during ESL Pro League, where the 25-year-old Dane was involved in a fistfight. This will be a great opportunity for k0nfig who will have a chance to prove himself on the biggest stage of Counter-Strike.
Heroic’s squad for BLAST World Final:
René “TeSeS” Madsen
Casper “cadiaN” Møller
Rasmus “sjuush” Beck
Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard
Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke (stand-in)
Richard “Xizt” Landström (coach)
LFG!!!!!!
Thank you for believing <3 https://t.co/hCW6cEJeF0— Kristian Wienecke (@k0nfig) December 4, 2022
2022 has been an amazing year in many ways, but also the hardest year of my life personally. I'm going to be spending some time with family and friends in this hard period♥️
