HEROIC secured a victory over Tundra Esports with a score of 2:0 in the first match of the lower bracket playoffs at The International 2025. The win allowed the team to continue competing in the tournament, while Tundra exits the competition.

In the first map, Tundra's weak draft was the decisive factor: HEROIC confidently capitalized on their heroes' advantages and easily secured the win. The second map was more intense — HEROIC prepared an unconventional draft that caught their opponent by surprise. Despite Tundra's attempts to contest, HEROIC appeared stronger in crucial moments and closed the series with a 2:0 score.

The MVP of the match was Yuma, who consistently realized his potential and made a key contribution to his team's victory.

The International 2025 runs from September 4 to 15. Teams are competing for the Aegis of Champions and a prize pool of $1,600,000 plus a share of the compendium funds. Follow the results, match schedule, and news at this link.
