Contract tenure map

Every Alliance contract since 2023

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2023 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 3m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with Alliance; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

Tactical dossier

The Alliance file

Alliance is a Swedish professional esports organisation founded in April 2013, and its CS2 team is built around in-game leader twist and rifler avid. As of 6 November 2026 the team was 35th in the world ranking and 53rd in the global Valve ranking.

The organisation was founded in April 2013 and entered competitive Counter-Strike on 28 September 2023. That day b0denmaster, PlesseN, robiin, avid and twist joined together to form the first lineup. Only twist and avid are still with the team from that group, so the current roster is the product of several smaller changes rather than one large rebuild.

The coaching role was filled on 26 January 2024, when Alliance signed hawk as its CS coach. He has held that role ever since.

twist is the in-game leader and avid is a rifler, and both have been with the team since 28 September 2023. twist has played 816 maps for Alliance and avid 825. upE joined as a rifler on 26 July 2024, acquired from Viperio. eraa signed as the awper on 18 January 2025, and bobeksde joined from EYEBALLERS in the entry role on 12 June 2026. hawk remains the coach.

robiin was benched as in-game leader on 22 July 2024 and released on 23 August 2024. b0denmaster was moved to the bench in early December 2024 and left the organisation on 1 January 2025. eraa was signed as the awper on 18 January 2025, and PlesseN was benched on 26 June 2025 before leaving on 16 October 2025. poiii joined as a rifler on 2 July 2025.

poiii left for 100 Thieves on 5 January 2026. Alliance then took mail09 on a season-long loan from Metizport on 22 January 2026, and that loan ended on 10 June 2026. On 12 June 2026 bobeksde was signed as the new entry fragger, the most recent change to the roster.

robiin later joined Team Nemesis as a coach, and b0denmaster moved on to lilmix after leaving Alliance. PlesseN, benched in June 2025, was the last member of the 2023 core to leave. poiii went to 100 Thieves, and mail09 went back to Metizport when the loan ended.

As of 6 November 2026 Alliance was 35th in the world ranking and 53rd in the global Valve ranking. The team has spent 23 weeks inside the world top 30, and its current position sits just outside that group.

Pontus Bengtsson has been the general manager since 2 December 2022. Fabian Pettersson, known as Fabbelit0, joined the stream team as a content creator on 29 August 2025.
