Xizt renews contract with Heroic

25-1-2023 14:46

The Swede has signed a two-year extension with HEROIC.

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström has extended his contract as HEROIC's coach on a two-year deal, the organization has announced. The former Ninjas in Pyjamas captain stood behind his men all throughout HEROIC's 2022 campaign in which they reached the IEM Rio Major grand final, won their first Big Event on LAN at the BLAST Fall Final and were the world's highest-ranked team at the turn of the year.

Heroic reached new heights in 2022 with Xizt standing behind them

Xizt's two-year extension secures his place within HEROIC until 2025. He is the fifth member of the squad to have signed a new contract alongside Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller, Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck, René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen, and Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund, who renewed their contracts with the Danish organization for two years during the last trimester of 2022.

"It feels amazing to renew my contract with Heroic. It was, for me, a no-brainer. I think we're really onto building something great here and I'm just excited," Xizt said about his extension.

HEROIC's lineup is:

Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard
Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller
Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund
René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen
Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström

Chief Executive of fist bumps and high fives

2023-01-25 14:52

An important position on LAN!

that's RobbaN.

Looking hot in the background is definitely up there along with coaching.

2023-01-25 14:53

Just because other teams have, you know. That's the logic behind coaches in most teams. If he adds something above it - than it's profitable already.

2023-01-25 14:56

I tried to be funny. Went sideways I guess. Tho xizt looks hot. I'm pretty sure that a coach is an important job, strategically as well as morally. If only they can provide an outside look, that should help massively. If they can ignite hope, confidence, etc even more so.

translating cadiaN into danish

2023-01-25 14:55

you're saying cadiaN are making swedish noises?

2023-01-25 15:33

Caveman noises. Xizt is fluent because of friberg

2023-01-26 08:05

makes sense, didn't friberg have a short tenure at heroic too? could be part of the org dna

2023-01-26 11:05

Congratulations mens))

Big L

Another big W for Heroic

Bro I think xizt has been good as coach for Heroic. Why it's L ?

2023-01-25 18:32

Makes sense, why change something that is working?

2023-01-25 14:50

Good decision by Heroic imo

hard carrying the team on his back

2023-01-25 14:54

he contributes with his cooking skill

goated

2023-01-25 15:00

Does anyone have insight if xizt spesk danish?? In which languague do they communicate? I guess that the playeres obviously speak danish with each other. How does xizt chime in them?

2023-01-25 15:06

I think he said a long time ago in an interview after he joined that he mainly communicates in English

2023-01-25 15:20

Heard the same. Pretty sure he said then that he understood the Danish but the players struggled a bit with his Swedish, so he mostly replied to them in English. Since they’ve been working together for a long time now, perhaps they have less trouble with his Swedish.

2023-01-25 15:53

In the video they literally say that he doesnt understand them so he obviously doesnt speak Danish.

2023-01-25 16:20

Once a Ninja, always a Ninja <3 What an incredible thing he has done with Heroic!

he gives good knuckles

2023-01-25 15:07

cheat team

Nice for him. But he seems like a very introvert guy. You dont see him being very verbal and communicating with the team during timeouts. Always quiet and just observing. I dont know what he contributes with. Is he more like a cute mascot for them ?

2023-01-25 15:09

he's not much of a moral support but definitely a tactical \ strategic coach who has a different perspective than cadiaN so together they make up game plans with less mistakes, and he prolly also controls training routines and the way they do demo reviews, etc if they signed him for another two years, that means a lot tbf

2023-01-25 15:51

With how rabid the players are especially Comedian it's good that they have a chill coach to balance it out

2023-01-25 21:19

too ez for this handsome beast <3

Anyone with knowledge or rumors what a cocch like Xizt earns ?

2023-01-25 15:23

lmao i forgot that xizt is a coach now, "xizt renews contract" in right bar left me shook

2023-01-25 15:29

Happy to see that, atleast one of the Legendary NIP players is still in Tier-1 competing.

"Heroic's 2022 campaign in which they reached the IEM Rio Major grand final, won their first Big Event on LAN at the BLAST Fall Final and were the world's highest-ranked team at the turn of the year." Not nominated for team of the year btw, G2 was.......
