HEROIC sells tN1R

Norwegian esports club HEROIC has once again announced changes to its Counter-Strike 2 roster. After the end of Esports World Cup 2025, which will take place from August 20 to 24, Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich will depart the team.

According to the official announcement published on the X social media, the 24-year-old Belarusian esports athlete was bought out by another organization. HEROIC Director of Esports Robin Nymann commented on this news as follows:

Our plan didn't have us parting ways with Andrey at this point in time. We have repeatedly declined bids for him but his contract has a buyout clause towards the team he is going to, and they've chosen to activate it, making it happen now.

Tatarinovich joined HEROIC in January of this year, while before that he competed for GUN5. tN1R's average rating over the past three months is 1.13 (in 50 maps). It is not yet known which team Andrey will go to. It was also not reported who will fill the vacant position in HEROIC's starting five.

Note that a few days ago HEROIC moved Gleb "gr1ks" Gazin to the bench. The vacant place in the squaf was taken by Alimzhan "alkarenn" Bitimbai, who represented the youth team of Team Spirit for the last year and a half. At the moment, HEROIC occupies 18th place in the ranking of the world's best teams in Counter-Strike 2 according to Valve.

 HEROIC are now:

 Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich
 Linus "LNZ⁠" Holtäng
 Simon "yxngstxr" Boije
 Linus "⁠nilo⁠" Bergman
 Alimzhan "alkarenn" Bitimbai

 Tobias "TOBIZ" Theo (coach)
