Heroic is the eighth team from Pool B of the EU RMR tournament to qualify for the PGL Copenhagen Major after defeating GamerLegion 2-0. With the remaining five 2-3 teams from both groups, GL will have the opportunity to fight for the last EU slot at the Major in the next two days through the barrage.
Despite all the problems they went through in the past few months, Heroic managed to achieve a satisfactory result at the Major qualifiers. They lost in the second and fourth rounds to many of the strongest possible opponents in Group B, Spirit and Vitality, but managed to beat Preasy, Astralis and finally GamerLegion in the remaining rounds.
Heroic opened the deciding match with a bang with a convincing 13-5 victory on GamerLegion's pick Overpass map. They took advantage of the CT side to take an 8-4 lead at halftime, and then dominated and played like terrorists, dropping only one round the rest of the map.
Mirage was a little more uncertain, but Heroic used a 5-0 start to break away from the very beginning of the map and then maintained that lead until the end for a final score of 13-9. Guy "NertZ" Iluz once again stood out with an excellent game with a 35-23 score in frags, 92.2 damage per round and a 1.45 rating.
