Heroic sent FaZe Clan packing after carving up the American team up 2-1 in the quarterfinal. They are now waiting to see who will win from Gamerlegion and Monte. But the Norwegian squad won’t be too concerned about playing either team, as they will be massive favorites. Heroic has been perfect in this tournament so far, and we think they have the squad to go all the way and win the Paris Major. Don’t forget to live stream and bet on the Paris Major semi-finals and the grand final at GGBet Sports!
Heroic Too Strong During the Legends Stage
Thanks to Heroic’s history of dominating CS:GO tournaments, they scored a bye and didn’t have to compete in the Challenger’s group stage of the Paris Major. Instead, they progressed directly to the Legend’s Stage. In this stage, the top 8 teams would progress to the playoffs.
It didn’t take Heroic long to secure their playoff berth. In their first game, they took FaZe Clan to school on Inferno. But the Norwegian side was only just getting warmed up. They then crushed Apeks on Mirage before defeating Team Liquid in their 3rd and final match. Heroic’s perfect record guaranteed them the number 1 seed going into the playoffs, giving them an easy path to victory.
FaZe Clan Fails To Get Revenge
After Heroic easily dispatched FaZe Clan during their match in the Legend’s stage, we thought Heroic would quickly defeat them. However, credit to FaZe Clan, they fought tooth and nail, and it was a very competitive match. But in the end, Heroic proved a little bit better and ended up winning 2-1.
It seemed like the pressure of being the number 1 seed didn’t bother Heroic. They looked extremely calm and were able to execute their strategy effectively. This is an extremely positive sign as they reach the semi-finals. This is unsurprising as they have been dominating big CS:GO tournaments since 2016 and have just under $3 million in lifetime tournament earnings.
Will it Be GamerLegion or Monte?
Heroic is safely through to the semi-final, but they must wait to find out who their opponent will be. They will face the winner of GamerLegion and Monte. GamerLegion hails from Germany, while Monte is from Ukraine. These are both small-time teams with combined earnings of less than $500,000.
Both teams have impressed during the tournament and caused several upsets. However, neither squads have the talent and experience to hang with Heroic. We wouldn’t be surprised to sweep either of these European teams and effortlessly advance to the finals.
Heroic is Excellent Form
Heroic is playing some amazing CS:GO. They seem to be improving from match to match and peaking at the right time. They found their form at the end of 2022 when they took 2nd at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022 and then followed it up with a win at the BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022 and 2nd place finish at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023.
Most likely Heroic will face Team Vitality in the final, which will be a legendary showdown. The Parisian crowd will be going nuts for the local French team. However, we expect Heroic to maintain their composure and secure the victory. Comment below what you think will win the Paris Major and why!
