Xizt renews contract with Heroic

The Swede has signed a two-year extension with Heroic.

Richard “⁠Xizt⁠” Landström has extended his contract as Heroic’s coach on a two-year deal, the organization has announced. The former Ninjas in Pyjamas captain stood behind his men all throughout Heroic’s 2022 campaign in which they reached the IEM Rio Major grand final, won their first Big Event on LAN at the BLAST Fall Final and were the world’s highest-ranked team at the turn of the year.

Xizt’s two-year extension secures his place within Heroic until 2025. He is the fifth member of the squad to have signed a new contract alongside Casper “⁠cadiaN⁠” Møller, Rasmus “⁠sjuush⁠” Beck, René “⁠TeSeS⁠” Madsen, and Martin “⁠stavn⁠” Lund, who renewed their contracts with the Danish organization for two years during the last trimester of 2022.

“It feels amazing to renew my contract with Heroic. It was, for me, a no-brainer. I think we’re really onto building something great here and I’m just excited,” Xizt said about his extension.
