Aurora is an esports org that launched in August 2022. From day one, the club had a few directions, and Counter-Strike is one of them.
In CS2, Aurora spent a long time building up form in online tournaments and leagues, and then in 2025 they suddenly hit a new level: the org signed an almost all-Turkish stack from Eternal Fire. Right now, the team plays big events consistently and stays close to tier-1.

Aurora roster history
Aurora has had a few stages in CS. First, the org built a roster around CIS players and slowly got into shape in online leagues and mid-level tournaments. Then came a period where the team started hitting top finishes more often and taking trophies.
And in spring 2025, Aurora made their loudest move: the org switched direction and built a core of Turkish players (the core came from Eternal Fire). With this five, the team started consistently fighting top squads and putting up steady results.
Achievements of the first roster
Aurora’s first roster gave the team a solid старт: they built a base and won their first medals. At different times, it included Viktor “Lack1” Boldyrev, Evgeny “Norwi” Yermolin, Vladislav “lattykk” Vydrin, Evgeny “delus1onn” Plottsov, Artem “RAiLWAY” Gradovich, and others.
With their help, Aurora locked in their first notable results: bronze at ESEA Season 42: Advanced Division — Europe and a win at ESEA Cash Cup: Europe — Autumn 2022 #6.
Roster in 2023-2024
Between 2023 and 2024, the team had some players from the first roster, plus Alexander Gurkin “KENSI” and Ivan Miroshnikov “SELLTER”. They helped Aurora seriously expand their list of achievements. In that period, they won the championship titles at CCT Season 1 South Europe Series #2 and CCT Season 1 South Europe Series #3, placed 1-4 at ESL Challenger League Season 45 Relegation: Europe, and also took gold at Skyesports Grand Slam 2024 and Skyesports Masters 2024, along with silver at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2024 and YaLLa Compass Summer 2024.
