The Norwegian organization HEROIC announced that Simon “yxngstxr” Boye has left its Counter-Strike 2 team. The announcement was made on the club’s page on the social media platform X.
We’re saying goodbye to yxngstxr—he’s off on a new journey.
Thank you, Simon, for your contribution to HEROIC’s growth over the past year and a half. We wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing you on the server!
In July, HEROIC moved yxngstxr to the bench—Antonio “Martinez” Martinez Sanchez took the Swede’s spot on the starting roster. The revamped team failed to qualify for the LAN stage of BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 and missed the Esports World Cup 2026 after losing to Fnatic in the decisive qualifier match.
