Heroic win ESL Pro League 13 – How did they do it?
Group Stage
Heroic started it all by leading in Group A of the group stage. They beat teams like Complexity, FunPlus Phoenix, OG, Renegades, as well as BIG Clan. Their 1st place in groups got them a slot in the play-ins, going up against the Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Play-ins
In the play-ins they took on the swedes on both Inferno and Nuke, two very tactical maps for these teams. Heroic started the series with a bang winning the first map 16-13. Then NiP were trying to grab back a comeback on their CT-side, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. Heroic won the 2nd map 16-9 and got a spot in the semifinals.
Play-offs
Their first match-up in the Semis was against FURIA, which they beat 2-0 on both Mirage and Dust II. With this win they got into the grand finals versus the underdog team… Gambit.
Grand Finals
This Grand Finals was probably one of the longest series in CS:GO history. The finals started at 3:30pm, and the tournament concluded about 7 hours later, around 10:30pm. Heroic won Inferno 19-17, and Gambit replied with a dominating win 16-3. Then came Train, which went into a very long overtime, but Heroic came on top 28-26. Then, Gambit won Overpass 16-10, and Heroic won the final map 16-6. Here is the insane clutch that CadiaN pulled off, for Heroic to win ESL Pro League 13:
