gr1ks Loaned to GUN5

Belarusian talent Gleb “gr1ks” Gazin has been officially loaned from HEROIC to Russian side GUN5.

Background & Context

• HEROIC recently benched gr1ks after only two tournaments—the FISSURE Playground 1 and IEM Cologne 2025—citing overall underperformance and roster misalignment. His ratings were 0.95 and 0.79 in those events, with a brighter but insufficient 1.19 during Stage 1 in Cologne.

• The organization acknowledged that "not all the pieces we put together have fit as well as we hoped" and took responsibility for the change.

The Move

• As of early September 2025, gr1ks has been officially loaned to GUN5, a relatively new Russian roster currently ranked around #108 globally according to HLTV.

• GUN5’s active lineup includes SELLTER, tex1y, Sdaim, fineshine52, and yiksrezo, coached by NMV.

• The loan announcement was confirmed publicly via HLTV’s X (Twitter) account: “gr1ks loaned to GUN5”.

Player Profile & Potential

• gr1ks is a 19-year-old AWPer from Belarus, known for strong sniping mechanics—his Sniping score is in the 93rd percentile over recent months.

• Over his career, he boasts a Rating 2.0 of 1.20, reflecting consistent above-average performance across 527 maps.

GUN5’s Perspective

• No direct quotes from GUN5’s roster or coaching staff were available in the sources.

• Given GUN5’s standing and ambition to climb the rankings, acquiring a player like gr1ks—especially in the AWP role—could signal the team’s intent to bolster firepower and experience.
