HEROIC secured their spot at IEM Dallas 2025 by crushing Astralis in the lower final of the closed qualifier. The match turned out to be a nightmare for Astralis, who managed to win only five rounds over two maps.

Match Details

Astralis approached the meeting with HEROIC after participating in PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, which should have worked in their favor. However, it turned out not to help, and HEROIC confidently won 13-3 on Mirage and 13-2 on Nuke.

Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç and Simon "yxngstxr" Boye particularly shone. Both players showed incredible gameplay, finishing the match with a rating of 8.4 over the two maps, which is simply remarkable.
