Well, I guess I should say something about my career; some of you might find this interesting. They’re going to sell me—put me on the transfer list, so to speak. I’d be happy to return to the server and prove myself. Feel free to message me. For now, I’ll be hanging out on Facebook and racking up the numbers on this wonderful platform
Alkaren joined HEROIC on loan from Team Spirit in August 2025. The 19-year-old player played only 55 maps for the team due to visa issues—Simon “yxngstxr” Boye filled in as the sniper at tournaments in his place.

HEROIC previously announced the disbandment of its Counter-Strike 2 youth team. The academy’s best results over the past six months included reaching the finals of United21 Season 45 and finishing in 3rd–4th place at the Journey Spring 2026 LAN tournament.
