As previously reported by VPEsports, North and Heroic made official the Daniel “mertz” Mertz and Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen swap about a week ago.

mertz showed interesting things with North Academy and North but it seems that his style does not match with what MSL wants to set up. On his side, niko will play his first Major with North and will have to show his best face to try to stay with this team. As a reminder, both transfers are currently loans and nothing will be decided before the “after-Major” regarding their respective futures.

With the arrival of mertz and recently of Asger “AcilioN” Larsen, Heroic is rebuilding the team. According to our sources, another Nordic will soon join the Danish organization at least for the coming months, the Finnish Niko “naSu” Kovanen.

A new project awaits the brother of Tomi “lurppis” Kovanen and former 1.6 player, he will replace Luis “peacemaker” Tadeu that left the team in May. naSu continues his coaching adventure after having held this role since 2017 at PENTA Sports, GODSENT and Red Reserve.

Heroic should therefore look like :

⁠ Adam “ friberg ” Friberg

⁠ Adam “ ” Friberg ⁠ Andreas “ MODDII ” Fridh

⁠ Andreas “ ” Fridh ⁠ Patrick “es3tag” Hansen

⁠ Patrick Hansen ⁠ ⁠ Asger “ AcilioN ” Larsen

⁠ Asger “ ” Larsen ⁠ ⁠ Daniel “mertz” Mertz (loan)



⁠ Daniel Mertz (loan) ⁠ Niko “naSu” Kovanen (coach)
