The 19-year-old, who joins fellow countryman Andrey ‘tN1R’ Tatarinovich at HEROIC, has emerged as one of the most sought-after young AWP players in the market.
He recorded an average rating of 1.17 in 2024 and increased it to 1.18 this year, significantly aiding Aurora/Astrum in securing championships at both the European Pro League Season 22 and Galaxy Battle 2025 STARTER as the team’s standout player by a wide margin.
The transfer is part of HEROIC’s summer restructuring following their earlier acquisition of Tobias ‘TOBIZ’ Theo from MOUZ NXT as the new coach for the team.
