Biography
Ali “Wicadia” Haydar Yalçın (born March 4, 2005, in Turkey) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 rifler currently competing for Aurora Gaming. Regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Turkish Counter-Strike, Wicadia has already established himself as a high-impact player on the international stage, known for his sharp rifling mechanics, calculated aggression, and consistent performances in top-tier tournaments.
Wicadia began his professional career in 2021 with OtherSide Esports, making his debut at the Türkiye Cup where his team claimed a runner-up finish. He then progressed through Real Winner Company and Eternal Fire Academy, earning valuable experience and refining his fundamentals. With the academy squad, he picked up regional titles and proved himself as a dependable competitor capable of adapting to structured team play and high-pressure situations.
His breakthrough came in 2024 with Eternal Fire, when he won the CCT Season 1 Global Finals, securing his first major international trophy and a $50,000 prize. That same year, he achieved runner-up finishes at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 20, showcasing his ability to perform against elite opposition. His strong form continued into 2025 with second place at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, a third-place podium at PGL Astana 2025, and deep playoff runs at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, IEM Katowice 2025, and PGL Bucharest 2025.
Statistically, Wicadia maintains a HLTV Rating 2.0 of around 1.08, an Average Damage per Round (ADR) of approximately 77, and an Impact rating near 1.15—numbers that highlight his consistent contribution in both entry duels and clutch situations. By mid-2025, he had participated in hundreds of professional maps across about 40 tournaments, accumulating over $239,000 in prize money.
In April 2025, Wicadia made the move to Aurora Gaming, continuing to deliver strong performances in Tier-1 events. His adaptability, composure under pressure, and disciplined rifling have made him a key piece in Aurora’s strategy as they compete for titles on the global stage. At only 20 years old, Ali “Wicadia” Haydar Yalçın represents the next generation of Turkish Counter-Strike stars and is poised for even greater achievements in the years ahead.
