The European mix was simply untouchable on the CT side, closing the half 9–3 with near-perfect setups and relentless retakes. SunPayus and tN1R both chipped in with high-impact plays, while yxngstxr continued his consistent form. With a 94.4% KAST, Heroic suffocated NRG at every turn.
NRG, fresh off their opening win over TYLOO, looked overwhelmed. Br0 tried to keep things competitive with solid utility work and 102 ADR, but Jeorge and HexT were completely shut out of the server. The team managed only two rounds after halftime.
Heroic now move to 2–0 and look poised for a quick qualification run. NRG drop to 1–1 and will need to regroup fast if they want to stay in contention.
