Heroic extend Xizt's contract, add haste as analyst

HEROIC and the Swedish coach penned a one year deal.

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström, the former Ninjas in Pyjamas in-game leader and Major winner, will continue the work he started with HEROIC as an analyst and a temporary coach, which he took on the eves of the PGL Major in October 2021 shortly after retiring, albeit this time as a full-time coach while delegating analytical duties.

Xizt will remain Heroic's coach having signed a one year extension

Taking over as the squad's analyst is Thomas "⁠haste⁠" Dyrensborg, who was been working with the team since right before the BLAST World Final in late 2021, and has now been made a permanent fixture in the squad's technical staff.

The 31-year-old, a well-known figure in Denmark, had a playing career in some of his country's second row teams, such as Reason, Squared and GoldenGitte, took up coaching in 2021 as Galaxy Racer's skipper, and did analysis for Astralis and the now defunct North in the past.

HEROIC also announced the continuation of its other two performance team members, manager and physiotherapist Kasper Straube and mental coach Troels Robl.

HEROIC's roster consists of:

Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller
Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund
Ismail "⁠refrezh⁠" Ali
Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck
René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen
