CYBERSHOKE have officially announced the signing of 19-year-old Kazakh AWPer Alimzhan “Alkaren“ Bitimbay on loan from HEROIC. The deal spans the entire season and includes a buyout clause that could make the transfer permanent at the end of the year.

Alkaren previously played for Spirit Academy before moving to HEROIC in the summer of 2025. However, due to Schengen visa issues, he spent the beginning of the year on the bench, and his departure was finalized after HEROIC signed MartinezSa. In his new home, the sniper will reunite with his former Spirit Academy teammate Roman “Mokuj1n” Petrushenko, whom he already stood in for during the NODWIN Clutch Series 7 in April.

Updated CYBERSHOKE roster: glowiing, alpha, bl1x1, Mokuj1n, Alkaren (loan), and pixel (coach).
