HEROIC endured a challenging season capped by visa issues for Alkaren and an early exit from the Cologne Major, described by coach TOBIZ as symptomatic of ongoing internal problems.

Following the season, TOBIZ and the team signal a broader plan to reassess and potentially restructure HEROIC, though no firm roster decisions are announced yet.

The squad’s lone recent victory came against Gaimin Gladiators, with TOBIZ cautioning that defeats cannot be attributed to the AWPer change alone and emphasizing collective accountability.

In his exit interview, TOBIZ attributed many losses to both individual and systemic mistakes, while noting promising moments in practice that didn’t consistently translate to results.

TOBIZ called for a thorough evaluation of the roster and team environment, saying HEROIC must pause, reset, and then decide their future steps, even as tournament invites continue to flow in.

Despite a Major qualification and occasional strong runs, HEROIC struggled with consistency all year, hindered by Alkaren’s visa issues and a rushed reshuffle of Simon into a new role.
