HEROIC defeat BetBoom on Austin Major 2025 Stage 2
HEROIC found their footing after a rocky start to Stage 2, taking down BetBoom 13–9 on Mirage to even out their record at 1–1. The match was close in the first half, with both teams trading rounds to end 6–6, but HEROIC tightened up their CT side to pull ahead with a 7–3 finish.
SunPayus led the charge for the European squad with a standout 20–10 performance, posting an 85.4 ADR and a 1.47 rating. He was especially impactful during the late game holds, securing high-pressure rounds with AWP picks and smart rotations. LNZ also had a strong showing, finishing with 19 frags and the highest ADR on the server at 93.6.
Despite some sharp moments from S1ren and Magnojez, BetBoom couldn’t maintain pressure on the T side. Boombl4 had a rough outing at just 7–18, which left a gap HEROIC repeatedly exploited. Ax1Le delivered one flashy 4k with a Five-Seven and AK, but otherwise had a quiet map.
With this win, HEROIC stay alive in the Stage 2 Swiss, while BetBoom are pushed to the 0–2 pool and now face elimination in their next match.
