Biography
Linus “LNZ” Holtäng (born October 20, 2002, Sweden) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player currently serving as an in-game leader and rifler for HEROIC. A former CS:GO competitor, LNZ has steadily crafted his reputation through strategic leadership, consistent fragging, and experience in multiple European rosters.
LNZ’s esports journey began around 2018, and he progressed through several teams in the Swedish and European CS:GO landscape—including stints with CeX, Wind and Rain, Prima eSport, and Young Ninjas. Over time, he earned a reputation for his tactical understanding and reliability in team systems. In 2023, he joined Sangal Esports, transitioning into international play before eventually being signed by HEROIC in January 2025.
Throughout his career, LNZ has participated in over 330 maps and amassed approximately US$140,700 in prize money. His CS2 metrics highlight solid contributions: a Career Rating 2.0 near 1.04, balanced statistics across sides, and frequent utility and clutch play. In recent months, his 3-month Rating 3.0 dipped to ~0.88 over 49 maps, but his Entry and Opening metrics remained strong, demonstrating continued aggression and presence in duels.
Though he has yet to capture a Major title, LNZ has earned tournament victories and notable finishes—including wins at RES European Series #4 (CS2) and MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025, as well as a top placement in the CCT Season 2 Global Finals. He was also part of the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 run with NiP, placing 5th-8th.
LNZ is admired for combining strategic leadership with steady fragging output, often pivoting between calling roles and entry-oriented play. His loyalty, adaptability across metas, and experience in both CS:GO and CS2 make him a valuable backbone for HEROIC’s roster.
