Snappi becomes HEROIC’s new head coach
Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer has officially joined HEROIC as head coach, the club announced via social media. This marks his first experience in a coaching role after 18 years as a professional Counter-Strike 2 player.
Snappi, who was benched by NiP in August 2026, replaces Joonas "doto" Forss, who held the position for three months. The move also marks a return to the organization for Pfeiffer, who represented HEROIC on three separate occasions between 2016 and 2020.
The coaching staff will also include Adrien "killazoo" Legarda as assistant coach and Vini Carossi as performance coach. HEROIC will face their first test under the new leadership at Stake Pulse Beat III from October 12 to 17, where they will compete against 15 other teams for an $80,000 prize pool.
