History of Heroic rosters

Over the years, a number of well-known esports players have come through the team, building rosters of different strength and level in different periods. Below is information about the first of them, as well as the esports players who represented Heroic in 2019-2022.

Achievements of the first roster

Heroic’s first roster looked like this: Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander, Michael “Friis” Jørgensen, Valdemar “valde” Vangså, Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer and Andreas “MODDII” Fridh.

This five-man lineup laid the foundation for the organisation’s future success. The players brought Heroic its first notable results: they won Power-LAN 2016, International Gaming League 2016 — Grand Finals, and ESL Pro League Season 4 — Europe Relegation. On top of that, the team took silver at the League of Sharks CS:GO Championship and grabbed bronze at Northern Arena 2016 in Toronto. For a young tag, that was a seriously strong start.

2019-2022 roster

From 2019 to 2022, the following esports players represented the team: cadiaN (Casper Møller), stavn (Martin Lund), jabbi (Jakob Nygaard), TeSeS (Rene Madsen), sjuush (Rasmus Beck).

This five-man squad really raised Heroic’s stock across the whole scene. The team won DreamHack Open Atlanta 2019, #HomeSweetHome: Week 5, ESL One: Cologne 2020 Online — Europe, ESL Pro League Season 13, PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR A, BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2022, and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2022. This roster didn’t just make deep runs on a regular basis — it kept the club among the teams everybody had to respect.
