HEROIC Qualifies for IEM Dallas!

published 21 February 2025

Strap up your boots and saddle on up 'cos HEROIC is headin’ straight for Dallas!

The team started with a close victory over Zero Tenacity going 2-1, followed by a tough loss to the Frenchmen of 3DMAX despite an amazing 12-6 comeback to win 16-14 on Anubis.

Despite this loss and a slight detour through the lower bracket, we defeated BIG in our revenge match from IEM Katowice, 2-1. Next up was the new Metizport roster who put up a good fight but we ended the series with a clean 2-0.

Last but not least was a grudge match against Astralis, who kindly came dressed for their own funeral in their new, all-black attire. And we destroyed them! Astralis were only able to win 5 rounds over 2 maps. xfl0ud had his best map ever on Mirage, with yxngstxr following suit on Nuke as they both recorded a 2.63 rating, with the former ending the series with a 1.93 overall rating! Astralis looked lost throughout the whole match. They couldn’t even convert man advantages to round wins. With this victory, we lock in our spot at IEM Dallas 2025 this May!

Thanks to all our fans who cheered us on through the closed qualifier, we massively appreciate all the support!

Now the Lone Star State is about to heat up with 15 of the world’s top teams fighting it out with the HEROIC boys, ready to show em’ who the real cowboys are!
