Heroic secured a spot in the playoffs at the Elisa Masters tournament.

Heroic joined The MongolZ in the semifinals of the Elisa Masters Espoo, after defeating Rebels and ENCE in the group stage.

A strong start on all three maps brought the European team solid results, but Heroic faced challenges in securing their playoff spot during critical moments.

In their first match against Rebels, Heroic had to dig deep and demonstrate resilience to recover from a shaky start on the CT side of Anubis.

They then nearly let a 12-4 lead slip away in their game against ENCE on Vertigo, but after six failed attempts to close it out, they managed to secure the win with a quick round using a partial buy. A similar scenario unfolded on Nuke, where Damian “kyxsan” Stojilkowski held off a 3v5 situation at Bombsite B, preventing the opponents from pushing the game into overtime and preserving an 11-3 lead.

Having failed to secure the series in their favor, ENCE now face a decisive Group B match against 9z Team.

Meanwhile, Heroic await the outcome of the match between JANO and B8 to determine their opponent for the semifinal showdown.
