The legendary Swede who played under the Ninjas in Pyjamas banner hung up his mouse in late September and had been pursuing a role in analytics and coaching since then. cadiaN and company from Heroic, on the other hand, have been playing without a coach since the departure of Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen in late July before IEM Cologne.
