]]>The Macedonian captain’s sought-after status was solidified by his leadership during Apeks’ impressive run at the BLAST.tv Paris Major.
Heroic’s proactive move to secure Kyxsan’s services signals a strategic step in reinforcing their competitive edge.
With this signing, Heroic completes the puzzle of their comprehensive roster rebuild, ushering in a new era that amalgamates experience and fresh talent.
The revamped dynamics within the team set the stage for Kyxsan’s leadership, marking a transformative shift for Heroic.
The departure of Casper “cadiaN” M?ller, Heroic’s legendary former IGL, leaves behind a legacy defined by strategic brilliance and exceptional leadership.
Kyxsan now faces the formidable challenge of filling the void left by CadiaN, not only in terms of statistics and individual skill but also in terms of the profound impact CadiaN had on the team’s culture and success.
As Kyxsan steps into this challenging role, he faces a time crunch with the PGL Copenhagen Major Europe RMR open qualifiers looming on January 8.
Adapting to Heroic’s gameplay, implementing new strategies, and establishing cohesion within the team become critical tasks for Kyxsan from the outset.
The urgency to form a cohesive unit adds an extra layer of pressure, requiring Kyxsan to quickly adapt to a new team dynamic, coordinate strategies with new teammates, and lead Heroic through the high-stakes qualifiers.
The esports community eagerly awaits Heroic’s debut with Kyxsan at the helm, as the narrative of the team’s journey unfolds with a mix of anticipation and curiosity.
The PGL Copenhagen Major Europe RMR open qualifiers serve as a trial by fire, testing Heroic’s mettle and revealing the extent of Kyxsan’s influence on the team’s trajectory in the post-CadiaN era.
The expectations surrounding Kyxsan’s leadership and the potential impact on Heroic’s competitive standing are substantial, and fans can only hope for the best.
Despite attracting interest from various clubs following Apeks’ success, Kyxsan opted to extend his contract with the Norwegian organization until the end of 2024.
Apeks continued to participate in notable events throughout the year, securing runners-up finishes at Elisa Masters Espoo and ESL Challenger Atlanta, propelling them to No. 11 in the ESL rankings.
Best gift ever.
Welcome @kyxsancs

]]>ENCE’s CS:GO team, led by Alvaro “SunPayus” Garcia, left no chance for the Spanish squad with impressive score lines of 16-2 on Overpass and 16-5 on Anubis.
SunPayus, the AWPer for ENCE, delivered a stellar performance with a remarkable 1.72 rating.
In a pre-game interview, Guy “NertZ” Iluz offered praise for his teammate’s outstanding performance by saying, “when SunPayus is feeling the game, I don’t think anyone can stop him.”
Movistar Riders struggled to hold their ground, lasting less than ten rounds on Overpass before succumbing to ENCE’s dominance.
Despite some close and chaotic situations early in the match, Riders failed to capitalize on them, allowing ENCE to cruise to victory.
ENCE displayed their superiority with a convincing 16-2 win.
The momentum carried into the Anubis map, where SunPayus continued to shine by quickly securing rounds for his team.
Although Alejandro “alex” Masanet and his team managed to win three of the last five rounds in the first half, the switch favoured Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer’s ENCE squad.
ENCE’s pistol round victory sealed the deal as they went on a 6-0 run to finish the map 16-5.
Despite the one-sided nature of the series, Antonio “Martinez” Martinez of Movistar Riders maintained a respectable 1.07 rating, offering a silver lining for his team in the face of such a dominant defeat.
