Heroic dominate AGO in 2-0 victory
The Danes of Heroic remain undefeated in ESL Pro League Season 15
The first brawl of the fourth day of Group D in ESL Pro League Season 15 was between Heroic and AGO. Heroic had looked stellar so far at the event and were unsurprisingly the heavy favorites going into the Bo3-series against AGO and for good reason. It was clear already from early on that Heroic were simply just on another level than AGO. The Polish roster had too difficult of a task at hand when facing Heroic and would have to see themselves bested in just two maps. The 2-0 win marks the fourth consecutive victory for Heroic at the event as they remain undefeated in Group D.
The first map in the Bo3-series was picked by AGO and saw the two teams climb toward Vertigo for the first map of the series. Starting on the CT-side, Heroic posted a strong defense already from early on. An all-around impressive team performance from the Danes proved difficult for AGO to break down and despite a great showing of skill from Polish "F1KU", the scoreline favored Heroic at 11-4 going into the second half of Vertigo. After having switched sides at halftime, the Danish domination ensued once again. Five rounds were all Heroic needed on their T-side and at 16-7, they managed to close out Vertigo and take home the first map of the series.
The second map of the series was Nuke and was, of course, chosen by the Danes. After having gained momentum and confidence on Vertigo, Heroic came flying out of the gate on Nuke. Starting on the CT-side once again, Heroic posted an almost impenetrable defense against AGO. With "cadiaN" leading the charge it was the Danes to secure a 12-3 lead going into the second half of Nuke. All Heroic had to do in the second half was to finish what they had started in the first. With confidence, they did exactly that and closed out Nuke at the impressive scoreline of 16-3
