HEROIC has moved Yasin “xfl0ud” Koç to the bench, turning another page in the team’s Counter-Strike 2 roster story.

The change was confirmed on July 7, 2026. At this stage, the only clear takeaway is that xfl0ud is no longer part of HEROIC’s active lineup.

For HEROIC, this is the kind of roster move that forces a fresh look at roles and chemistry. We will see whether the team follows this with another signing or a broader reshuffle.

Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Valve. Released in September 2023, it is the fifth main entry in the Counter-Strike series and serves as a direct replacement for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. Two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, compete in objective-based rounds across modes such as bomb defusal and hostage rescue. Built on the Source 2 engine, the game introduced volumetric smoke physics, revised weapon handling, and a new sub-tick server architecture. It inherited all cosmetic items from its predecessor and features both a map-specific Competitive mode and a numerically ranked Premier mode.
