The organization HEROIC has officially reinstated Linus “nilo” Bergman into the active roster. Nilo returns to the lineup after spending half a year on the bench without playing any official matches for the team.

Nilo's Return

Nilo was signed by HEROIC at the beginning of 2025 following a successful stint with Metizport, but soon left the active roster for personal reasons. According to the club, the transition to tier-1 was too abrupt, prompting the player to take a break. He is now returning at a crucial time, as HEROIC is undergoing a restructuring after the departure of SunPayus and head coach sAw to G2.

Replacing xfl0ud

Nilo will effectively replace xfl0ud, who was unexpectedly benched. However, this is not a direct replacement, as the players have different roles. Looking at player statistics over the past year, nilo has a higher rating, although he hasn't played any matches in the last six months.

Current HEROIC Roster:

• Linus “LNZ” Holteng
• Andrey “tN1R” Tatarinovich
• Simon “yxngstxr” Boye
• Gleb “gr1ks” Gazin
• Tobias “TOBIZ” Teo (coach)

The next tournament for the new HEROIC lineup will be FISSURE Playground 1, taking place from July 15 to 21. The tournament's prize pool is $1,000,000, with the club's share being $550,000 and the players' share $450,000. You can follow the news, schedule, and results of the tournament via this link.
