HEROIC Wins MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025!

published 06 May 2025

It’s back-to-back grand final victories for HEROIC CS, and with this, the boys lift their first-ever LAN trophy together! 693 days and 3 rosters later, this is also HEROIC’s first LAN title as an organization since the BLAST Premier Spring Final in 2023! And speaking of BLAST, their trophy designer should be taking notes…

Our Mongolian campaign began against a home-team in Chinggis Warriors, where we secured a clean 2-0 with all 5 players scoring a 1.2 rating or higher! Next up was JiJieHao, who put up a good fight on map one but ended up falling 2-0, with tN1R showing that he can AWP. With this victory, HEROIC advanced to the playoffs!

The semi-finals were anything but smooth, delayed by over five hours due to tech issues, but the guys remained locked in. Rematching Chinggis Warriors, we proved we didn’t need a crowd buff with both xfl0ud and tN1R shining on with 1.56 ratings! We closed Ancient 13-10, then dominated Mirage 13-3, sending our squad to the grand final!

The BIG matchday started with a tight 13-9 win on Dust2. Ancient was up next, where tN1R had such a good play with the XM1014 that the live feed couldn’t cope! The squad let Mirage slip to give the crowd one more map after teasing them with a wild yxngstxr 1v4 clutch, leaving Train as the final map. And HEROIC were all aboard to lift the trophy with a clean 13-6, thanks to xfl0ud’s amazing 1.72 rating, ending the series 3-1 and landing HEROIC their first BO5 win in 4 years!

The team showed remarkable resilience through numerous delays, tech issues, and a late-night semi-final, only dropping one map the entire event to BIG in the grand final! Thank you as always to the fans who cheered us on and to the performance team working tirelessly behind the scenes!

Next stop: IEM Dallas - see you there on May 19th!
