Linus ‘nilo’ Bergman has resumed playing after being taken off the bench by HEROIC to finalize the roster, the organization has stated.
The 20-year-old Swedish player has been out of action for the past six months, having first been brought to HEROIC from Metizport at the start of the year, but he has yet to step onto the field.
He is now making a comeback during a crucial moment for HEROIC, who are once again compelled to reconstruct their roster for the second season in a row after Álvaro ‘SunPayus’ García and Eetu ‘sAw’ Saha moved to G2.

The squad also made the unexpected decision to bench Yasin ‘xfl0ud’ Koç, with ‘nilo’ stepping in as his replacement, completing the lineup together with promising AWPer Gleb ‘gr1ks’ Gazin and former MOUZ NXT coach Tobias ‘TOBIZ’ Theo.

Nonetheless, it is not simply a direct substitution, especially on the T side, where ‘nilo’ has proven to be a more calculated lurker in Metizport compared to the aggressive, area-hogging ‘xfl0ud’.
Consequently, a more extensive role adjustment will be necessary to align the components under the guidance of ‘TOBIZ’ and Linus ‘LNZ’ Holtäng.
