OpTic Gaming, North and Heroic make changes to their CS:GO rosters as Danish shuffle begins DreamHack | Jennika Ojala | Adela SznajderThe Danish CS:GO shuffle that numerous community members predicted has begun, with OpTic Gaming, North and Heroic all seeing changes. Astralis are currently on top of the world after winning the FACEIT London Major in dominant fashion, but all of the Danish teams underneath them seem to be making, or considering, changes. Mathias \u2018MSL\u2019 Lauridsen, who took North to victory at DreamHack Stockholm less than a month ago, is the first casualty of the shuffle \u2013 the in-game leader has been benched and replaced by Casper \u2018cadiaN\u2019 M\u00f8ller, who impressed during his time in North America as part of Rogue. That\u2019s not all, though, as North have also decided to call Nicklas \u2018gade\u2019 Gade back to the starting roster, bringing his seven month loan period with OpTic Gaming to an end. Welcome home, @caspercadiaN and @gadeCS_!

The 20-year-old spent just one month with the organization on loan from Heroic but was a key component in their DreamHack Stockholm win. As Heroic were still playing with Daniel \u2018mertz\u2019 Mertz, who they have loaned out from North, it was originally believed that niko would simply be returning to the team as a substitute. However, the young Dane joined an entirely different ESEA roster: OpTic Gaming\u2019s. The loss of gade meant that OpTic were a team of four, so niko would be an obvious choice to replace him, even if it is just on a loan basis. Now, OpTic Gaming and Heroic have confirmed that niko has been transferred to OpTic\u2019s starting roster and Heroic, in turn, have signed mertz on a full-time basis from North. We’ve agreed to transfer @OfficialnikoCS to @OpTicGaming. Thank you for your work with us, @OfficialnikoCS!
