Heroic’s Captain Casper cadiaN Møller gave an interview to Fragster, in which he talked about his career and role in the team.

Rocky road

CadiaN's career is a huge roller coaster ride with far more failures than successes. Only last year did the Dane finally win his first Tier-1 LAN. He was kicked out of teams multiple times, major organization signings fell through, and results declined. However, the captain did not despair and talked about where he found the motivation to come back every time.

I like to compete, I like to become better. And maybe my path was like a roller coaster, and other people may have achieved more. But maybe they had their own failures that they couldn't recover from. I just always felt like I had some unfinished business, and as long as I feel that way, I'll keep trying.

CadiaN has an incredible amount of motivation, as the player even at one point considered becoming a full-time analyst, but still returned to the stage and continued to perform. It took the Dane about 8 years to establish himself in Tier-1.

During this time, he changed 7 teams, some of which he was with for only two months and still didn't stop. This alone deserves respect.

The role of cadiaN in the team

In all teams, cadiaN was always the leader. Not all of his teammates agreed with this, which led to him being kicked. However, his leadership in Heroic is vastly different. Now, no one disputes cadiaN's role, and the captain is not only a leader in the game, but also a leader/psychologist outside the server. The Dane tries to monitor the mental state of all teammates.

I'm the guy who cares about everyone. Hugging someone if they're sad or supporting someone if I see they need a pat on the back or something similar. I try to lead in this way, and also take pressure off the young guys.

We see how cadiaN supports the team regularly. The Dane constantly shows emotions and supports the guys. cadiaN is a true leader who is capable of not only preparing a book of tactics but also preparing teammates for mentally challenging stage appearances.

cadiaN is one of those captains who will remain in the history of CS:GO forever, even if he doesn't win any more tournaments. His long journey to the top and unique leadership style are unparalleled. Heroic is impossible to imagine without cadiaN.

When do Heroic play?

The next tournament for Heroic will be ESL Pro League Season 17, which has already started. The first opponent for the Danes will be Movistar Riders, and the teams will meet on March 1st. All information about the event can be found on its page.
