Teammates, community react to cadiaN leaving Heroic

5-10-2023 16:42

HEROIC announced the departure of their talismanic captain, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller, on Wednesday.

The Dane's removal has shaken up the transfer market

HEROIC announced the shocking departure of long-time captain cadiaN from the active roster on Wednesday due to "differing visions for the future of the team," according to the organization's statement.

The 28-year-old represented HEROIC for nearly four years and led the team to three LAN titles, the latest of which came at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023. The team also spent 24 weeks at the top of the HLTV rankings, and cadiaN's leadership was a massive part of the team's identity throughout their success.

cadiaN also shared his point of view in an interview with Dexerto, adding that he "wanted some changes and some people wanted a different way," which led to his removal.

The announcement sent shockwaves across social media platforms and left the community astounded. Many people were quick to voice their opinions about the news, some of which have been documented below.

Many community figures also began to look into the future of cadiaN's career and concluded that many rosters could use a player with his experience and skill set.

Wtf why would he go to Falcons? It’s either Astralis or Liquid imo or something better than that.

Faze bro. Karrigan to coach. Cadian respected by all.faze member except broky

If they bench Broki they have to bench Karrigan as well. Who Faze would bring as 5th player? Cadian and Karrigan will never play together.

Bench Broky? No way. Cadian will be a standard IGL and a 2nd awper if he joines Faze, Liquid, or Astralis imo.

or broki become regular rifler

2023-10-11 03:47

I’d rather see a Swedish nip

2023-10-05 19:42

me too. dont need nip to fuck up more danes. nip: plz go full swedish. leave the danes alone.

2023-10-05 20:10

nips problem is that they are too attached to swedish players. none of them are performing, rez and hampus should be benched years ago, maybe i'd keep brollan because hes still young and did incredibly good in the past but idk but yea, just remembered that nip has headtrick as awper, so it wont happen

2023-10-05 20:37

Maybe +isak? It wouldnt be such a bad choice tbh

2023-10-05 23:29

"fuck up more danes"?

2023-10-06 00:15

Yes. Why the questionmark?

2023-10-07 11:38

Well nip would be a fucking waste of time for cadian so I hope he doesnt go there.

2023-10-06 20:34

Maybe he can join liquid and liquid bench oSee

2023-10-05 16:45

Would be huge

2023-10-05 16:49

Ah that’d be awesome even as an often used secondary awper. That could work huh

2023-10-05 18:56

Fr, cadiaN has Experience in NA

2023-10-05 20:29

nosee is playing good, even with a rifle. maybe he could be a second awper for cadian

2023-10-05 20:36

he will 100% join liquid, his playstyle is similar to oSee and falcons/nip are dead projects

2023-10-05 21:05

falcons project is barely about to start and you are calling it dead already? xD... then again... flair does check out, i guess you do have experience in that department

2023-10-05 21:29

they have no chemistry, theyre all in there for the bag lol it is a dead project as it stands, they could still save it if they replace 3 of the current players (and get zonic)

2023-10-05 21:31

oh, my bad i thought you were talking right now with the idea of getting Zonic and giving him anything he wants... nvm you are right current falcons is missing something that connects them

2023-10-05 21:35

I cant see him join a saudi org because of saudis human values

2023-10-06 01:06

Yes

2023-10-05 22:44

Liquid will be the no.1 villain team in the world if this happens. Liquid hated by NA fans then gets more hate because of Cadian haters love to see that. Liquid needs to stop being mediocre and become The Villain team in CS2.

2023-10-07 17:05

funny how noone gets this change(me neither...)

2023-10-05 16:46

I want an explanation as well

2023-10-05 16:56

yea me too...

2023-10-05 17:32

Money

2023-10-05 20:19

Does he know?

I love how maui's response is the most passive-aggressive writing. What a fucking dork

He is a garbage human being

2023-10-05 18:05

He's literally right though, he's just playing a character with hot takes for impressions. But he is indeed right about CadiaN and probably about Heroic as well

2023-10-05 22:11

It’s Twitter, who cares

2023-10-05 22:59

This is NaVi 2016-2017 and FaZe 2019-2021 deja vu. Kick the IGL and then get fucked in the long term. also, if Liquid isn't massively bidding for his ass then they've gotten themselves the reward for dumbest org in CS of 2023.

2023-10-05 16:58

navi is definitely different case bcs coaches were able to lead back in those days but they changed rules shortly after they made that change. anyway i dont see anything good for heroics future...

2023-10-05 17:34

If Liquid gets Cadian, things get interesting as fuck. And I agree, if they're not trying their best to do it right now then they're either really naive or really delusional

2023-10-05 22:13

I think it depends on what he choose, for ex if nip gets the players he wanted in heroic and keeps k0nfig he could easily join them because of danish synergy

2023-10-06 01:09

I enjoyed everyone's take except m*ui 🤢

2023-10-05 16:59

Habibi Cadian inc

wonder who he will be toxic towards to now

2023-10-05 17:15

Please come to Liquid !

2023-10-05 17:16

Come to MIBR legend

2023-10-05 17:18

The most two faced no skill player which got reputation thanks to his teammates, surrounded by 4 betas with no voice.

2023-10-05 17:20

lol this is the most HLTV comment I've read all day

2023-10-07 13:05

Liquid? NIP? Falcons?! I'm so hungry for an answer. Also who tf is Heroic getting back?!?!

2023-10-05 17:30

god hunden

2023-10-05 17:31

Glaive is sitting on Astralis bench. Can't really see other options for them

2023-10-05 17:57

-cadian +glaive seems good, gonna be a completely different team regardless of igl

2023-10-05 18:52

but who is gonna awp?

2023-10-06 20:38

Stavn is the obvious choice

2023-10-07 13:18

i woulda liked -teses +dupreeh

2023-10-05 17:52

bad move tbh

2023-10-05 17:55

Who are the snake players who bit him in the back?

2023-10-05 18:01

i guess that would be teses and stavn, since cadian hinted to that in his interview you can read about on dust2.dk

2023-10-05 18:25

oh lmao Teses and Stavn had the 2 loudest farewell statements in the article. Look like something written by PR managers

2023-10-05 18:38

So you also thought the way they wrote farewell sounded weird? The only real farewell was from xizt

2023-10-05 18:40

It is definitely strange when only those 3 had farewell statements, and not jabbi and sjuush. The content of their statements is a bit out of place too. They make it sound like "Cadian and the team couldn't reach an agreement on his contract renewal, so they parted ways" and not "Cadian and the team had a disagreement so they kicked him".

2023-10-05 18:47

+1 exactly

2023-10-05 18:48

jabbi and sjuush did have farewells but they didnt post it for some reason

2023-10-06 20:52

a rare good take by maui

2023-10-05 18:22

sjuush and jabbi didn't say anything SNAKES

2023-10-05 18:49

twitter.com/sjuushCS/status/170995808849.. twitter.com/jabbiCS/status/1709969271915..

2023-10-05 20:03

Disrespectful from HLTV to not post their tweets

Wonder what Ja Rule thinks about the move

2023-10-05 18:58

Where's Ja?!?!?!

2023-10-05 20:53

Heroic's own leg shot. GL!

2023-10-05 19:35

now falcon. coach zonic, awper cadian, igl snappi, riflers, magisk, duprhee jabbi, done

didnt they want to sign Niko, monesy and twistzz ?

2023-10-11 04:05

There are authentic farewells, and there are pathetic farewells Jabbi, sjuush, teses and stavn! You guys just won the price of the most political correct cringe farewell i have ever seen. backstabbing bitches.

2023-10-05 20:26

Yeah, very GPT-written messages. Who knows what really went down, but sometimes it's better to post a "farewell, bro" than these boilerplate farewells.

2023-10-06 04:32

I think he should join Liquid. Put Osee on the bench and get cadian + a good rifle.

2023-10-05 20:39

Thorin mentioning karigan like if the Guy is still fresh and AT the top of the meta tacticaly while IS game is 2 Years behind top teams. Why even posting something from thorin here ..oh shit i give him attention..

2023-10-05 20:49

Because they are Danish igl and Heroic is Danish too. At least you didn't mention Glaive

2023-10-05 21:03

Can’t wait to see cadian on liquid

2023-10-05 20:45

I so hope he goes to Liquid so I can mald just over one team instead of 2

2023-10-05 20:48

If heroic dont get glaive, karrigan or snappi they are done as top5 team. Cadian has so many options Nip, falcons, liquid, faze, etc

2023-10-05 21:37

My opinion is that karrigan/snappi wouldn't work in Danish full squads anymore, both igls run pure international squads for many years now? Only one who would be decent pickup for Danish squad is Gla1ve :)))

2023-10-05 23:27

How does it matter that they've ran international squads?

2023-10-07 13:26

Pretty simple, both igls are used to igl and lead International lineups for a long time full Danish squad wouldn't work for a long time in sure of that

2023-10-08 02:45

Prof please unblock me on twitter

2023-10-05 21:51

It’s time to join liquid

2023-10-05 22:40

guy won a single proper tournament in 4 years and people act like he's a god

2023-10-05 23:23

him joining either liquid or nip is a big downgrade. why would he leave heroic for either of those teams? has to be either glaive, karrigan or snappi joining heroic in his place.

2023-10-05 23:28

Gla1ve for sure

2023-10-06 00:16

Hope there’s an announcement soon! Wonder if Cadian will take a break or jump right on new contract opportunities. Mehhh Heroic will flop with Glaive. His firepower has drastically weakened.

2023-10-06 00:22

He's going to Falcons or Liquid.

2023-10-06 02:11

Rip heroic and best of luck Cadian

2023-10-06 05:27

cadian i know u are reading this... stay strong, brother, stay positive, u are a legend, the all best things only waiting u in the future

2023-10-06 06:39

Now Heroic are left without an AWPer and without a IGL.

2023-10-06 07:38

And without the only guy who performed in big pressure moments. In other words, they are screwed.

2023-10-06 11:26

This is so amazing for C-A-D. Who cares about money-oriented Orgs? He will go to the next team and make it a wicked CS2 success. First team in CS2 history which blabla. Titels and victories will come, more fame to be earned with a new, fresh team in a fresh CS.

2023-10-06 09:09

Whether you love him or hate him, cadiaN was the heart and soul of that Heroic roster, and without him they will fizzle out into nothing. Don't be surprised if they turn into a top 15-20 team soon

2023-10-06 09:24

Crazy to think that this guy may never win a major in his career while jame did. Cadian deserved better

2023-10-06 11:16

NiP +Cadian -Hampus Instant major win

2023-10-06 11:29

-Brollan and Cadian Igl. Would fix a lot of Rolex Problems. And brollan struggles for ages

2023-10-16 02:25

Heroic will suffer without CadiaN, remember this

2023-10-06 13:31

The only thing that everyone is thinking about is who the hell made this decision? It better be Cadian himself, otherwise somebody made a seriously idiotic decision.
