HEROIC officially confirmed that Maden will become the fifth player for the team at the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, which will take place in Copenhagen from January 23 to 26. Maden will replace tN1R, who will miss the tournament due to visa issues, despite playing a key role in the team's qualification.

Nilo must earn a spot in the main roster

Linus "nilo" Bergman, recently signed for at least $175,000 from Metizport, remains outside the main roster. According to the organization, the player faced personal difficulties that hindered his adaptation to tier-1 level. HEROIC clarified that they will support nilo in his return, but he will have to earn a spot in the main roster.

Visa issues and the absence of tN1R

The absence of tN1R is a significant loss for HEROIC, as he showed his best performance at the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier. Despite missing BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, his LAN debut is expected at IEM Katowice 2025.

Meanwhile, Maden, who has not competed since Falcons' exit from the European RMR to the Shanghai Major, joined HEROIC as a substitute even before the tournament. 

HEROIC Roster 

HEROIC will head to the tournament in Copenhagen with the following lineup:

• Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç 
• Álvaro "SunPayus" García
• Linus "LNZ" Holtäng
• Simon "yxngstxr" Boye
• Pavle "Maden" Bošković
