2022 became the year that the players of Heroic could finally take the “Onliners” mark off their shoulders.
A Grand Final in IEM Rio and a win at BLAST Fall Finals in Copenhagen solidified Heroic’s claim to be one of the top teams of Tier-1 Counter-Strike on LAN. The win against FaZe in Copenhagen was pivotal for the Danish roster, who finished the year as number 1 on HLTV’s World Rankings.
In an interview with HLTV, Martin “stavn” Lund explains what the victory on home soil gave the team.
– We have shown that we belong at the top of CS for a long time, but we never got over the hurdle of winning a big tournament. Casters, analysts, and the community always doubted if we could ever do it on LAN, right? So finally winning a big tournament on LAN just solidifies our own self-belief and gives us even more confidence.
Heroic’s 2023 season is set to begin in two weeks’ time when they are among the participants at BLAST Spring Groups.
