Heroic to Compete in Esports World Cup 2025 Without Coach TOBIZ

An unexpected twist for the Danish club: at the crucial moment of the Esports World Cup 2025, Heroic will have to manage without their main coach. Coach Tobias “TOBIZ” Theo will be unable to attend the tournament due to personal circumstances — a wedding taking place this week.

Typically, the coach helps players handle pressure and strategize for matches. His absence leaves the question open: who will take on the leadership role outside the game and guide the team in tense moments?
