As we look to finalize our roster for the upcoming season, we’ve decided to bench @xfl0udCS from the starting lineup.

Yasin "Xfl0ud" Koç has been playing for Heroic since January 2025. Together with the team, the Turkish rifler won MESA Nomadic Masters Spring and CCT 2 Global Finals. At the Major in Austin, Heroic finished 17th–19th with Xfl0ud on the roster.

Xfl0ud commented on his departure from Heroic’s main lineup:

“I have been moved to the bench in Heroic. Honestly, I’m surprised by the decision, but I fully respect it and hold no hard feelings.
I want to thank everyone in the organization. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to wear the Heroic jersey.
We achieved good results as a team this season. I gave everything I had to become the best version of myself, and I’m proud of reaching new heights in my game.
I’m a very positive person (though not towards my opponents). Having fun and working in a healthy structure are my top priorities. I’m setting higher goals for myself and can’t wait to see what the future brings,” said Yasin "Xfl0ud" Koç.

Rumor has it that Linus "Nilo" Bergman will replace him.

The Swedish player signed a 3-year contract with Heroic in January but went inactive due to personal reasons.

Gleb "Gr1ks" Gazin (AWP) and coach Tobias "Tobiz" Theo are also expected to join Heroic.
