HEROIC sweep Shopify Rebellion 2–0 at the Esports World Cup 2025 (BO2)
South America’s HEROIC outclassed North American squad Shopify Rebellion 2–0 in their second Group D series at the Esports World Cup 2025.
Map 1 was a quick stomp from HEROIC, who ended the game in under 37 minutes with non-stop aggression. Offlaner Wisper had a near-flawless performance, diving deep with backup from Scofield’s roaming support. Shopify looked completely unprepared as Yuma’s carry dominated the mid-game and closed it out with ease.
Map 2 was a much longer back-and-forth affair that stretched past the 70-minute mark. Despite huge damage from Yopaj- and Timado, Shopify couldn’t match the sustained teamfight execution from HEROIC. Midlaner 4nalog turned fights with clutch spells, and KJ kept everyone alive with non-stop healing and vision. HEROIC pulled away after a crucial Roshan fight and never let go.

The result moves HEROIC to a 1-0-1 record in Group D, tied with PVISION for second place. Shopify Rebellion fall to 0-0-2 and sit bottom of the group with no map wins. On July 11, Shopify will get one last shot at redemption against PVISION, while HEROIC take on undefeated Team Liquid in a must-win match to stay in playoff contention.
