Heroic announced the signing of a new head coach—Tobias " TOBIZ " Theo. This move marks the first major decision by the organization following the extensive restructuring triggered by the departure of key figures to G2. The appointment is particularly intriguing as TOBIZ is not a seasoned veteran of the scene but a specialist whose career has been exclusively tied to the academy.
TOBIZ 's Journey — From Academy to the Big Stage
TOBIZ spent three and a half years with Mouz NXT, the academy roster of the well-known organization Mouz . He joined after the previous coach, Dennis "sycrone" Nielsen, was promoted to the main roster. Under TOBIZ 's leadership, the youth team underwent several rebuilds but remained stable and competitive, producing players like Jimpphat , siuhy , and xertioN .
Significant Changes in Heroic
Tobias " TOBIZ " Theo replaced Eetu "sAw" Saha, who, along with sniper Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia, moved to G2. These losses were painful for Heroic and forced the organization to begin rebuilding. Additionally, Turkish rifler Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç was recently benched.
The current Heroic roster is as follows:
Linus "LNZ" Holtäng
Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich
Simon "yxngstxr" Boye
Tobias " TOBIZ " Theo (coach)
Linus "nilo" Bergman (substitute)
Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç (substitute)
The appointment of Tobias " TOBIZ " Theo is not just a change of coach. It signals that Heroic is ready to build a project from scratch and trust those who know how to work with young talent. Amid the constant rotation of coaches in other teams, focusing on development and potential rather than past achievements is a rarity.
