Over a month ago, it has been revealed that some of the coaches like heroic’s Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen and MIBR’s Ricardo “dead” Sinigaglia have been banned due to the using a bug that allows you to see a part of the map.

Recently, ESIC has revealed that 37 coaches used this bug and they released a list of them. OG Esports coach Casper “ruggah” Due, former Ninjas In Pyjamas coach Faruk “pita” Pita, and many more coaches banned for abusing the bug.

However, Heroic decided to give a second chance to HUNDEN, even after making a huge mistake under their brand, and made an announcement on their official website.

While CEO of the organization said that everybody can mistake, Heroic wanted to show their support to HUNDEN in the rough times. On the other hand, HUNDEN took to his official Twitter account to show his gratitude to the organization.

Hunden stated that he is so thankful to Heroic for giving a second chance to him and said that he is not proud of what he has done in the past. Also, HUNDEN pointed out that he will do his best to help the team during this period.

Here is the statement of CEO of Heroic, Eric Askered:

“As earlier mentioned, Nicolai’s mistake does not reflect the values or standards Heroic holds or wants to promote, but a mistake is a mistake. We all make them. After all, Hunden is our boy.

We love him and he has so much to give this sport, that losing him would neither benefit Heroic, himself, or the pro scene. Our focus will now be to maintain the ranking we have fought hard for, and continue proving the world how good we are.”
