Now rostermania has settled, it's time to see our new squad in action. The first stop on HEROIC's VRS tour will take us to Barcelona, Spain for Stake Ranked Episode 3! Eight teams will fight over a $100,000 prize pool in a double elimination bracket from July 15th - 18th.

Seven other teams are joining us in sunny Spain: paiN, NIP, 3DMAX, Wildcard, Gentle Mates, K27 and Phantom. Five of these teams come into Episode 3 with fresh faces, making Stake Ranked an exciting first glimpse into these new-look lineups.

The highest VRS ranked teams, and de facto favourites to win, coming into the event are paiN, NIP & Wildcard. Other teams, such as K27 and Phantom, had the additional task of qualifying through the closed qualifiers.

Our first match will be against 3DMAX, one of the last single-nation teams standing, who recently picked up an AWPer as a rifler, the reverse yxngstxr you could say. Their debut at XSE Pro League Guangzhou didn't go too well, they failed to make it past the group stage after losing three matches in a row to be eliminated. We will be aiming to make it four losses in a row for the French side tommorow!

HEROIC come into the match as favourites, being given odds of 1.52 by Razed to win our opener.


Our opening match is scheduled to kick off on July 15th at 14:30 CEST. Tune in to witness the start of the climb back to the top!
