As unpleasant as the situation with the transfer of Martin "stavn" Lund and Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard to Astralis may have been, Heroic managed to gain some benefit from it. The presumed sum of the deal between the two Danish clubs will certainly be a pleasant bonus.

During the HLTV Confirmed podcast, Milan "Striker" Švejda stated that Astralis bought the two players for an amount of $1.5-2 million. Against the background of the recent sale of a slot in the League of Legends franchise championship for $15 million, Heroic have distanced themselves from repeating financial troubles, as they had to urgently seek investments in March this year to avoid closure, which they managed to do in the spring.

There are also rumors that the organization intends to acquire a Dota 2 roster, so an extra million dollars will definitely come in handy.

Recall that at the BLAST Premier World Final, the last major tournament of the year, Heroic will play with two replacements in the form of Jason “salazar” Salazar and Rasmus “Zyphon” Nordfoss, who are on loan from ECSTATIC and Sprout, respectively. The club needs to finalize its lineup by the roster lock before the RMR cycle in January.
