HEROIC places xfl0ud on the bench amid roster changes
HEROIC
FUTHEROIC has announced the benching of Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç as the team undergoes significant roster adjustments.
HEROIC has officially benched Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç, as confirmed by the organization on Tuesday. The Turkish player had been part of the roster for a year and a half, with a brief period on the bench during June 2025 before making a return two months later.
xfl0ud joined HEROIC following a major roster redesign that brought him from Sangal in early 2025. Now, as HEROIC embarks on another restructuring, xfl0ud finds himself sidelined again.
The team is also making significant changes off the server, having replaced coach Tobias "TOBIZ" Theo with Joonas "doto" Forss. Furthermore, there seems to be an ongoing effort to bring in Antonio "MartinezSa" Martinez to replace Simon "yxngstxr" Boije, who has filled the AWPer position following the visa complications faced by Alimzhan "Alkaren" Bitimbay.
Speculation is rife that HEROIC may engage in a trade involving xfl0ud and Laurențiu "lauNX" Țârlea, who was benched by FUT earlier on the same day. This possible swap reflects HEROIC's aim to revamp their lineup effectively.
As it stands, HEROIC’s current roster includes Simon "yxngstxr" Boije, Linus "nilo" Bergman, Tim "susp" Ångström, Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard, along with new coach Joonas "doto" Forss, while xfl0ud and Alkaren remain benched for now.
