Heroic shock G2, top group in Montreal
Heroic defeated G2 16-14 on Nuke to take the first place in their group at Northern Arena.
HEROIC managed to recover from a 3v5 situation in the pistol round to win it with Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer's 3K, but the sloppy defense of the A site in the subsequent one allowed G2 to equalize the score with a second-round force-buy.
3-1 down and very limited in their buy, HEROIC managed to get a round on the lower site thanks to Michael "Friis" Jørgensen's 1v2 that kick-started their comeback in the match.
The 27-year-old continued to be influential with the AWP, controlling the yard and forcing G2 to attack A - which ended up yielding them the fourth round at 6-4.
HEROIC continued assert their dominance in the outside part of the map in the following rounds, adding some aggression from Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså to the mix and getting to 9-4, but another pistol buy rush - this time on ramp - got G2 the fifth round of the half before they ended it 9-6.

Friis had a dominant performance on Nuke
Friis showed up again in the pistol round, clutching a 1v3 to set up his team for a good start. HEROIC lost the first gun round, won the following one but then lost to a pistol buy once again - resetting their economy and allowing G2 to creep back to 13-10.
Richard "shox" Papillon wasn't able to clutch a 1v2 in the following round, but he atoned himself at 14-13 by taking out Friis in a 1v1 to tie the score.
The veteran AWPer came up huge once again, clutching a 1v2 on the lower site to take it to match point before HEROIC closed it out with an A site rush.
