Özgür “woxic” Eker is a Turkish professional Counter-Strike 2 player competing as the primary AWPer for Aurora Gaming. Known for an aggressive playstyle and high sensitivity settings, he has been a consistent presence in international Counter-Strike for years.
Personal background
Born on September 2, 1998, Eker has built a reputation as a mechanical anomaly in the professional scene. He is one of the few top-tier players to use a left-handed viewmodel combined with an exceptionally high mouse sensitivity. This setup enables the rapid flick shots that define his approach to the AWP role.
Early career and international breakthrough
Eker began competing in local Turkish tournaments in 2012. He spent his early years on domestic rosters like Hardware Arena, Dark Passage, and Death Trap e-Sports. These teams provided him with the necessary experience to transition into the broader European circuit.
In August 2017, he signed with HellRaisers. This transfer placed him in tier-one European competition. Operating as a core member of the roster, he helped HellRaisers secure a first-place finish at the Bets.net Masters: Season 1 in April 2018. His mechanical consistency against high-level opposition cemented his status as an elite sniper prospect.
Peak achievements with mousesports
The most successful phase of his career began in March 2019 when he transferred to mousesports. Acting as the team’s primary AWPer, he was instrumental in their accumulation of international trophies.
With mousesports, Eker won the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals following a 3-0 victory over Fnatic. He secured the MVP medal at the CS:GO Asia Championships 2019 after the team defeated TYLOO 2-0 in the grand final. In early 2020, mousesports also won the ICE Challenge by defeating Natus Vincere 3-1. His performances throughout 2019 earned him the 12th spot on HLTV’s top 20 players of the year ranking.
Cloud9 and the foundation of Eternal Fire
In September 2020, Eker joined Cloud9 as part of the organization’s high-profile “Colossus” project. His tenure with the North American organization was brief. Logistical issues and travel restrictions led to his departure in January 2021.
Returning to the Turkish scene, he co-founded Eternal Fire in August 2021. The organization aimed to consolidate the best talent from Turkey into a single competitive roster. He spent several years competing for Eternal Fire, helping the team secure deep tournament runs and maintain a strong presence in the global rankings.
Current status with Aurora Gaming
In April 2025, Eker and the core of the Eternal Fire roster transferred to Aurora Gaming. Playing under the Aurora banner, he has maintained his position in tier-one Counter-Strike. The roster claimed first place at PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 and secured second place at the Esports World Cup 2025. In June 2026, he reached the semi-finals of the IEM Cologne Major with Aurora, confirming his enduring capability at the highest level of competition.
