HEROIC has rounded out its CS roster, with the addition of Brollan, MartinezSa, and coach doto, completing the team's rebuild ahead of the second half of the 2026 season. The moves come as the Norwegian organization looks to bounce back from a mixed 2026 campaign and establish itself as a contender in Tier 1 Counter‑Strike.

Brollan, formerly of MOUZ, brings considerable entry fragging potential and shot-calling experience from his time in top‑tier European lineups. Meanwhile, MartinezSa joins from Gentle Mates, where he impressed as an AWPer, while new coach doto was promoted from HEROIC Academy.

The two signings fill the final gaps in HEROIC's roster, which now features a blend of young, emerging talent and robust firepower.

With the new additions, HEROIC is expected to debut its updated lineup in the upcoming Tier 2 event, Stake Ranked Episode 3, where they will look to make an immediate impact. To keep up to date with all CS2 transfer news and updates, check out our off‑season roster tracker.

Brollan and MartinezSa Complete HEROIC’s Roster Rebuild 

HEROIC's roster reconstruction began when they parted ways with head coach TOBIZ and analyst R0nic. Soon after, yxngstxr was benched, and xfl0ud was acquired by FUT Esports, leaving the organization with only their young core of nilo, Chr1zN, and susp.

Following the acquisition of two new players and a coach, the HEROIC roster now comprises:

Brollan's addition certainly seems like a step in the right direction for HEROIC. The 24‑year‑old Swede enjoyed considerable success with MOUZ, winning three Tier 1 events: ESL Pro League Season 19, BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, and PGL Cluj‑Napoca 2025. 

He led the team to several runner‑up finishes, particularly in 2025, when MOUZ was second only to Team Vitality, and also played a key role in multiple top‑4 finishes, notably at the Shanghai 2024 and Austin 2025 Majors. 

Brollan also brings valuable versatility to the team, having found success both as an entry and as an in‑game leader. While HEROIC won't require his leadership skills, with Chr1zN already established as the IGL, Brollan's entry fragging prowess and shot‑calling experience can certainly bolster the squad as they prepare to take on Counter‑Strike's top sides in the coming months.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
