About vanHERO

vanHERO started back in 2003 as a group of friends who just wanted to frag together. No age restrictions, no skill requirements — just show up and play. What began as casual pub games in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory turned into something more.

Over time, two groups naturally formed: a pub crew that played together for fun whenever they felt like it, and a dedicated comp squad that practiced and played together 5–7 days a week. We ran 3v3, 6v6, and 7v7 objective-based matches across TWL, STA, and CAL — and picked up some league wins along the way.

Eventually people grew up, moved on, got jobs, had kids — the usual. But the memories of late-night scrims, clutch dynamite plants, and trash talk in IRC stuck around. Two decades later, old members still pop up on the forums to say hello. People who haven’t talked in over ten years reconnecting like no time has passed.

20+ years later and we’re still here. Our ET Legacy server is running, stats are being tracked, and the forums are open. Whether you were there in ’03 or just stumbled in — welcome. Tacos are always accepted at vanHERO. It’s dot com.
