Heroic Confirms Sale of tN1R Amid Wave of Roster Changes

Oslo-based organization Heroic has officially announced the sale of AWPer Andrey “tN1R” Tatarinovich, marking another significant shakeup in their 2025 roster. The announcement verifies speculation that has been trending across the Counter-Strike community. 

Context & Roster Reshuffle

This development surfaces in the midst of a broader roster overhaul. Earlier this summer, Heroic parted ways with coach-player duo Eetu “sAw” Saha and AWPer Álvaro “SunPayus” García, who both joined G2 — a strategic move to abstain from any potential conflict of interest during the Austin Major. 

Meanwhile, Heroic has been actively fine‑tuning their lineup—benching Gleb “gr1ks” Gazin after a short stint and bringing in Alimzhan “Alkaren” Bitimbai on loan from Spirit Academy, with the option for a permanent move.
