Alliance is an esports organization founded in Sweden in 2013 with support from GoodGame. The club was founded by Jonathan “Loda” Berg and Joakim “Akke” Akterhall.

Alliance Roster History
Not that many players have represented Alliance in Counter-Strike, but the team has still gone through several notable roster changes.
First Roster Achievements
Alliance’s first Counter-Strike roster was formed on September 28, 2023. The lineup featured Robin “robiin” Sjögren, Jonathan “b0denmaster” Bodenmalm, Niclas “PlesseN” Plessen, Simon “twist” Eliasson, and Arvid “avid” Åberg. The team’s strongest stretch came right at the start, in late 2023, when the roster quickly found its footing and started putting up results at local events. During that period, Alliance finished 1st at Subway Suberior League Season 2, 1st at Svenska Elitserien Fall 2023, and 1st at Esportal LuckyCasino Cup 2023, while also placing 5th–8th at BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023.
2025 Roster
At the start of 2025, Alliance fielded Simon “twist” Eliasson, Niclas “PlesseN” Plessen, Sean “eraa” Knutsson, Markus “upE” Johansson, and Arvid “avid” Åberg. Simon “Hawk” Vävinggren coached the roster. From July 2, 2025 through the end of the year, the main lineup consisted of twist, eraa, upE, avid, and Alex “poiii” Nyholm Sundgren. Hawk remained the team’s coach.
The team finished 1st at Svenska Cupen 2025, 1st at GameZone Cup 2025, 1st at European Pro League Cup 2, and 2nd at Elisa Nordic Championship 2025.
