HEROIC, the Norwegian esports organization, has parted ways with head coach Tobias “TOBIZ” Theo. The move marks yet another chapter in what has become one of the most turbulent roster sagas in competitive Counter-Strike 2.
TOBIZ joined HEROIC on June 28, 2025, replacing Eetu “sAw” Saha and stepping into a rebuild that was already well underway.
A coaching stint defined by instability
When TOBIZ arrived, the mandate was clear: stabilize a roster that had been leaking talent and results. His hiring coincided with the addition of AWPer gr1ks, a move designed to inject firepower into a lineup that desperately needed it.
The team suffered early exits from multiple tournaments. TOBIZ himself acknowledged the problem publicly, discussing the need for a strategic reassessment after those disappointing showings in May 2026.
