"I decided to retire from CS: GO," wrote HUNDEN on his Twitter on the 29th of April. "More news will come up very soon. Wait a little bit," ended Nicolai. And really, news came up even faster than anybody can expect.

Just a few minutes after his tweet came the tweet from the Heroic team. "It is a great pleasure for us to announce that we have a new coach. Let's welcome Nicolai "HUNDEN" Petersen, who will lead our newly formed roster on their way to success."

"It will be an excellent experience for me. I was always interested in coaching and will be very glad to coach such a great team as Heroic," said Nicolai later that day in social media.

More About Nicolai "HUNDEN" Petersen

HUNDEN started his professional Counter-Strike player career in late 2009 when everybody was playing Source or 1.6 version mostly. He decided to play Sorce those days and showed excellent results from the very beginning.

Starting from 2012, when players mostly transitioned to CS: GO, he already represented a few teams from Danmark. Among them: MAD Lions, Tricked Esports, Copenhagen Wolves, and SK Gaming.

Now he is 28 years old and said that his skill is still strong, but the reaction and hands sensitivity are started to lower. That is one of the main reasons why he decided to retire and become a coach.
