Chimera Esports
Chimera Esports is showing a confident game at the current stage of the tournament, securing two victories in recent matches, including important wins against BOOM Esports and Team Liquid. However, the team has encountered certain difficulties due to temporary replacements. One such change is the return of player Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin to the team as a stand-in for DreamLeague Season 25. Against strong teams like HEROIC, Chimera will need to showcase their best gameplay.
HEROIC

They are well-prepared and capable of winning at any level. Their lineup is well-balanced, and despite the imperfect results in recent days, they should be back in shape for key matches.
