cadiaN named the best rifler in Heroic and revealed who is the most difficult for him to play with

Heroic captain and sniper Kasper cadiaN Møller hosted an AMA session on Reddit, during which fans could ask the player any questions. Among others, there were a couple of interesting responses from cadiaN.

Captain Heroic talked about which sniper he hates to play against the most.

Depends on the day and the definition of "trouble". sh1ro and Jame can be annoying because you never see them. They are stable, they don't take risks often, and don't make many mistakes. s1mple is probably the best answer because he wins team games, he always finds a way.

CadiaN also ranked all the Riflers of his team and named the best one.

Well, mechanically the best is probably TeSeS if we are talking about "tryhard peeks" where he's best. However, I think all 4 of my riflers have different qualities. I think stavn makes better use of angles, map objects and so on.

Who is the best Heroic Rifleman?

cadiaN considers René TeSeS Madsen to be the best Rifler in terms of mechanical skill however this is not the only factor that determines rifler stats. Practical usage of angles and thinking, which also affects the performance, is also important. A rifler can be mechanically inferior, but still choose a better position, which gives him an advantage.

Looking at the statistics, we can say that over the past year, Martin stavn Lund showed a better performance than TeSeS. At the same time, of course, it is worth saying that the two Danes are very close in numbers and are a very powerful deuce.

Speaking of the rest of the players, the second deuce is not far from the level of TeSeS and stavn, so it's safe to say that Heroic doesn't have an individual player that stands out clearly.

Who is Heroic the hardest to play with?

As the most unpleasant opponents cadiaN mentioned three snipers - Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov, Jami Jame Ali and Alexander s1mple Kostylev. But which of these snipers is the most successful against Heroic?

Jame cannot be called successful in matches with Heroic. cadiaN may consider him "unpleasant" for the team, but for the last 4 matches the player has a rating of 5.9. Jame is clearly not showing the best performance against the Danes.

It's hard to talk about sh1ro, because over the past year Cloud9 met Heroic only once. Yes, then sh1ro showed a score of 8.6, but the distance is so small that it is impossible to draw any conclusions from this.

And s1mple is really strong against the best Danish team. During the year, the sniper faced Heroic 5 times and won 4. At the same time, his average rating was 6.6, which means that the Danish club is a convenient opponent for s1mple.

When is the soonest Heroic are playing?

Heroic will take part in the main stage of IEM Katowice 2023, which starts on February 4th. All information about the tournament is on its page.
