Contract tenure map

Every HEROIC contract since 2016

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2016 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 9m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with HEROIC; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

Tactical dossier

The HEROIC file

HEROIC is a European esports organisation that has competed in Counter-Strike since August 2016. As of 6 November 2026 it was 26th in the world ranking and 19th in the global Valve ranking, and its CS2 lineup is built around in-game leader Chr1zN.

Members of Team X created HEROIC on 26 August 2016. On 27 September 2016 the coach LOMME left the team, and on 24 October 2016 HEROIC signed niko as gla1ve was acquired by Astralis.

The 2017 roster was shaped by trades and benchings. On 24 January 2017 friis was removed from the active roster and cadiaN, from Rogue, was added as a stand-in. The buyout of JUGi from Tricked Esport was completed on 21 February 2017, and friis left for Tricked Esport on 25 February. FeTiSh joined as coach on 2 May 2017, es3tag was signed from Tricked Esport on 6 June, and valde was benched on 21 May and left on 18 July. FeTiSh stepped down on 24 October 2017.

peacemaker joined on trial on 9 November 2017. On 15 December 2017 the trial ended and his contract was extended by 12 months.

RUBINO was added as a substitute on 7 February 2018 and officially replaced es3tag on 14 February. On 12 March JUGi went inactive for personal reasons and es3tag returned to the lineup. On 24 April JUGi and Snappi joined OpTic Gaming, and friberg stood in for an interim period.

peacemaker left the team on 1 May 2018 for health reasons. friberg was signed on a permanent basis on 11 May, and AcilioN was signed on 10 July, when RUBINO was released. mertz came in on loan on 8 August to replace niko, and his signing was announced on 28 September, the day niko joined OpTic Gaming.

naSu was interim coach from 15 August 2018. On 20 November peacemaker was named coach for TOYOTA Master CS:GO Bangkok 2018. On 4 December 2018, after the team's results at that event and at the DreamHack Winter Open, peacemaker was signed as head coach and naSu was released.
