HEROIC appointed Snappi as their new CS2 head coach. This transition marks the end of his nearly 20-year professional playing career in esports.

Snappi replaces doto, who was previously moved to the bench. The experienced tactical mind previously played for the organization during two separate periods between 2016 and 2020, and left Ninjas in Pyjamas at the end of August.

Currently ranked 17th in the world, the team holds recent momentum after winning Stake Ranked Episode 3 and Stake Pulse Beat II this season. Snappi will make his coaching debut at Stake Pulse Beat III in Stockholm, which runs from October 12 to 17 with an $80,000 prize pool.

The active HEROIC lineup consists of nilo, susp, Chr1zN, MartinezSa, and Brollan.
