After being dropped by their organization in favor of the Brazilian Luminosity Gaming roster, the former SK Gaming CS:GO team were left out on their own.
Following in the example of CS:GO teams such as Astralis and Godsent, where the players own the organization, the ex-SK roster have created their own organization named Heroic, complete with a green knight logo. The Danish squad had been previously playing under the name, Team X.
The new brand and jerseys will be debuted at POWERLan in Denmark across the weekend of August 27th/28th with the following roster:
Michael “Friis” Jørgensen- Andreas “MODDII” Fridh
- Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander
- Valdemar “valde” Bjørn Vangså
- Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer
Michael “Friis” Jørgensen
Andreas “MODDII” FridhHeroic made the following statement about their new identity on their new website:
“Today we are proud to announce the creation of our very own brand, Heroic.
Since the core of our team’s departure from SK, we have been focused on finding the correct mix of five players, that could carry our ambition to prove ourselves among the worlds best. Now, we believe we have finally found exactly that and our results are a clear indication that we are on the right path.
With the lineup settled and proven, the next step is moving on from our temporary name – Team X. We have all spent multiple years in the Counter-Strike game, across many teams and brands and we are extremely excited to finally be able to call ourselves co-owners of Heroic. We believe that the time has never been more right to take this step and we have never been more motivated to make this a global esports success. We will soon be announcing the partners who have helped make Heroic a reality.
We hope that all our fans will follow us on this journey and that we will welcome many new ones on board over the coming months. You can catch us playing live this weekend from the POWERLan in Denmark, where you will see the Heroic logo on our jerseys for the very first time.”
