Heroic have announced the transfer of co-founder Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander who has been sold to Astralis, and the addition of young talent Nikolaj “Niko” Kristensen who will be joining the roster in his place. 

After a strong six months on tRICKED E-Sports, the eighteen year old Danish player "Niko" has moved over to Heroic. As part of this transfer "gla1ve" will be selling his shares to "Niko" who therefore will become an equal co-owner of Heroic.

On the Heroic website, Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer had to say:

As five co-founders, we decided that it made good business sense to sell gla1ve to Astralis. As five players, we decided that niko is an excellent new fifth man who can fill gla1ve’s shoes.”

As well as this, players of the organisation such as player "valde" reached out to twitter to express his excitement for the announcement.

The team will be bootcamping in Copenhagen in preparation of ESWC which will be taking place this weekend in Paris, and the PGL Minor in Bucharest on November 5 to 6.

With the addition of "Niko" to the roster and the removal of "gla1ve" the roster now stands as follows:
 Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
 Nikolaj “Niko” Kristensen
 Andreas "MODDII" Fridh 
 Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer
 Valde "valde" Bjørn Vangså
