Shushan as part of their strategy to future-proof the roster following their BLAST.tv Paris Major win.<\/p>\n<p>However, dupreeh was eager to make a competitive comeback, stating, &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel like I am finished.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honestly, I am super addicted to the whole process of working with a team, continuing to get better, lifting trophies, and competing to be the best.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of people seem to think that once you turn 30 and you have a kid, there is no room to play Counter-Strike, and that is definitely not the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rumors had linked dupreeh to TSM and Danny &#8220;zonic&#8221; S\u00f8rensen&#8217;s new Falcons project, but it&#8217;s with Heroic that he has made his return.<\/p>\n<p>Dupreeh&#8217;s addition to Heroic is expected to bring leadership and experience to the young Danish squad.<\/p>\n<p>Dupreeh&#8217;s humorous self-assessment on HLTV Confirmed, where he quipped about being &#8220;too dumb to in-game lead,&#8221; suggests that the captain&#8217;s role may be filled internally within the team.<\/p>\n<p>The prime contender for this leadership position is Martin &#8220;stavn&#8221; Lund, who previously served as the secondary caller and AWPer on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Stavn&#8217;s potential transition to the AWP role opens up an entry-fragging position for dupreeh, a role he excels in and prefers.<\/p>\n<p>Dupreeh stands as one of the most decorated players in CS history.<\/p>\n<p>Having been a consistent presence since the early days of CS:GO, he is the only player to have participated in every Major tournament and holds the record for five Major championship victories.<\/p>\n<p>Dupreeh&#8217;s first appearance for Heroic is scheduled for the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/counter-strike\/roobet-cup\/\" title=\"Roobet Cup betting guide\">Roobet Cup<\/a>, where the Danish team will face off against Aurora in their opening match.<\/p>\n<h2>Heroic&#8217;s new roster<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"pageList\">\n<li>Martin &#8220;\u2060stavn\u2060&#8221;
