19-year-old Danish prodigy Chr1zN officially becomes the new captain of HEROIC.

HEROIC has officially announced the addition of 19-year-old Danish player Chr1zN to their roster, replacing LNZ as the new In-Game Leader (IGL).

With LNZ being moved to the bench, this personnel change symbolizes an important step for HEROIC in rebuilding the team's core and re-establishing its tactical system.

Chr1zN played for OG from 2024 to 2025, but was relegated to the bench in October 2025 with the addition of veteran in-game leader and sniper cadiaN. OG's failure to qualify for the StarLadder Budapest Major also gave Chr1zN the opportunity to seek new challenges.

HEROIC's recruitment undoubtedly provides Chr1zN with a platform to prove his leadership abilities once again. It's also noteworthy that this joining has led to a renewed collaboration between him and his coach, TOBIZ.

Back in 2022, TOBIZ signed Chr1zN, who was then a rookie, to MOUZ NXT and was involved in his early development. The chemistry the two had built up in the past was considered a key factor in Chr1zN's rapid integration into HEROIC.

After being honed under Lambert's coaching system in the OG team, Chr1zN's command thinking has become more mature. Now he will join hands with TOBIZ again to create a brand new tactical blueprint for HEROIC.

HEROIC's performance in 2025 was inconsistent. Although they won MESA Nomadic Masters Spring and made it to the second stage of the Austin Major, they failed to qualify for the Budapest Major, putting the team under pressure to make roster adjustments.

Bringing in a young leader is seen as a strategic gamble, with HEROIC hoping to reshape the team's identity with fresh energy, tactical flexibility, and long-term development potential. Whether Chr1zN's addition can bring about a qualitative change remains to be seen.
