Linus “nilo” Bergman is an esports athlete from Sweden. Despite his young age, he has been active on the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene for quite some time. Over the years competing in the discipline, he has participated in dozens of tournaments, gaining not only significant popularity but also earning respectable prize money exceeding $45,000.
Linus began his pro career in August 2018. From then until summer 2020, he played for various lesser-known mixes without notable results. His first success came after joining Flowskola. With this team, he won gold medals at King of Nordic - Season 16: Week #1, King of Nordic - Season 16: Weeks 2, 3, 4, and 5, earned bronze at Svenska Elitserien Fall 2020, placed 7-8 at DreamHack Open November 2020, and secured championships at Esportal Christmas Bash and Fragleague Season 5.
Following these achievements, Linus joined the Young Ninjas academy in early 2021. He played only one tournament with the youth team before being promoted to the main roster, where he stayed until June 2023. During this period, he won multiple titles, including championships at Elisa Nordic Championship 2021 - Sweden, Atlantic Esportal Invitational, WePlay Academy League Season 6; silver medals at Svenska Elitserien Spring 2021, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023; bronze at BLAST Rising 2021; and 3-4 place finishes at Elisa Invitational Spring 2021 and CCT Season 1 West Europe Series #4.
Afterward, Linus left Young Ninjas and moved to Metizport in September 2023. After a brief adaptation period, he helped the team achieve several notable results: 3-4 place at CCT Season 1 East Europe Series #4, A1 Gaming League Season 7, BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024, CCT Season 2 European Series #1; 4th place at IESF World Esports Championship 2024; silver medals at 22BET Christmas Cup, Betswap Winter Cup, and Wildz Invitational; and championships at Pelaajat.com Series Spring 2024, RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024, Esportal LuckyCasino Cup 2024, Pelaajat.com Nordic Masters Fall 2024, and Svenska Cupen 2024.
In late December 2024, Linus “nilo” Bergman left Metizport and in January 2025 joined HEROIC, where he continues to play to this day.
