FUT Esports Sign xfl0ud to Counter-Strike 2 Roster

FUT Esports have announced the signing of Yasin “xfl0ud” Koç, who replaces the recently benched Laurențiu “lauNX” Țârlea on the active Counter-Strike 2 roster.

xfl0ud is the second new signing FUT have made this season, following the arrival of assistant coach Maksymilian “trochu” Trocha, and the first new player to join the team since FUT acquired their roster from Natus Vincere in August 2025.

The roster change follows a run of disappointing results at Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta and the Cologne Major, where FUT Esports placed ninth-12th and ninth-11th, respectively.

This dry spell followed a promising run in March and April, when FUT Esports placed fourth at ESL Pro League Season 23 and won PGL Bucharest 2026.

“I’m thrilled to join the FUT family. Up to this day, I’ve done my absolute best to represent our country in the best possible way on the global stage. Now, the prospect of fighting together with one of our country’s teams on this path fills me with immense excitement and pride.”

xfl0ud joins FUT Esports from HEROIC, having linked up with the organisation in January 2025.

During his 18-month stint, xfl0ud proved himself as a solid rifler, averaging a 1.08 rating while helping HEROIC to a couple of notable tournament runs, including a title at CCT Season 2 Global Finals and a fourth-place finish at CS Asia Championships.

However, in bigger events, notably the IEM Cologne Major, HEROIC consistently fell flat, leading to major roster changes and xfl0ud’s departure.

Opening a new chapter at FUT Esports, xfl0ud will look to prove his worth in a new environment, with his debut slated for BLAST Bounty Summer, starting on July 21, 2026.
