stavn & jabbi suggest Heroic’s statement is not the “truth” amid roster drama
Michal Konkol/BLASTHeroic CS2 players Martin ‘stavn’ Lund and Jakob ‘jabbi’ Nygaard suggest that Heroic statement about them and their contract status is not true on social media.
Danish esports organization Heroic announced on social media that its star players stavn and jabbi have been temporarily removed from its CS2 roster. The org explained in a statement that the move was due to complications around their contracts, the departure of long-time IGL Casper ‘cadiaN’ Møller and Astralis interest.
Heroic alleged that stavn and jabbi were the ones who initiated a “push to replace cadiaN” and that the org expected the two to sign new contracts after it acquiesced to their ultimatum. However, the two told the Danish org that they were already in talks to join their rival, Astralis.
Now, the org has removed the two players from the roster while its “ambition is to bring stavn and jabbi back” to the starting lineup at some point before their contracts expire.
The players have since responded to the statement on social media, suggesting Heroic has not revealed the full truth.

Neither player addressed the statement directly, however, stanv has made a vague post on social media and jabbi has reposted it on his account.
“Gotta love the world we live in. What is the saying? Truth always prevails,” stavn said.
This comes after cadiaN revealed during his initial benching that he “wanted some changes and people wanted a different way.” Heroic also just added Danish veteran Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen to replace cadiaN for the rest of the 2023 season.
Both stavn and jabbi missed their debut in CS2 as Heroic played against Aurora in the Roobet cup. MOUZ NXT players Christoffer ‘chr1zn’ Storgaard and William ‘sirah’ Kjærsgaard stood in for the two benched young stars.
