Heroic replace Evil Geniuses at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown

23-11-2020 14:05

The North American side is unable to attend the tournament due to COVID-19 related restrictions.

HEROIC will take Evil Geniuses' place in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, which will kick off on November 24, as COVID-19 restrictions have prevented the North American squad from traveling to Europe, the tournament's organizers have announced.

Ranked second in the HLTV.org world ranking at the moment, the Danes have been invited to join the likes of FURIA, Ninjas in Pyjamas, FaZe, and Liquid after failing to qualify for the 16-team tournament, having placed third-fourth at the Elisa Invitational 2 in early November.

cadiaN & co. will face Endpoint in the first round

With Evil Geniuses dropping out of the tournament, Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz & co. will be unable to qualify for the Fall Finals. They have already secured a spot in January's Global Finals, however, after winning the Spring Americas Finals earlier this year.

BLAST Premier Fall Showdown will award spots at the Fall Finals to the top-two teams as well as $150,000 in prizemoney. The tournament will be played in a single-elimination, best-of-three bracket from Tuesday, November 24 to Sunday, November 29.

Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's team will first take on Endpoint in the Round of 16, on Thursday at 19:30 . Their side of the bracket also features MOUZ, GODSENT, Complexity, Sprout, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Cloud9.

2020-11-23 15:19

2020-11-23 14:52

thank you

2020-11-23 14:07

Liquid disband :( EG disband ;(

covid screws my fantasy bracket once more

Good, Heroic is better than EG by far.

cOVERRATEDronavirus and dumb goverments strikes again

LETS GO!

damn I was hoping for EP vs EG lol

Cool. QUESTION FOR MODS: Will Heroic be in fantasy? EDIT: Nvm, you guys fixed it already :)

you think col wins against heroic?

11 replies

Well, that is if they face each other in Semi-Finals mate. coL needs to beat Sprout & C9/NIP and Heroic needs to beat Endpoint/Mouz-Godsent.

well yes but i'd say they will but now i don't know which of both team will make more points ...

2020-11-23 14:55

9 replies

I also think Heroic-coL will play each other since Mouz is playing like shit and Godsent have Emi as a new player. And Heroic should easily beat Endpoint. coL is also looking strong and should be able to beat Sprout that is rumoured to remove their Polish players and i guess coL will beat C9/NIP as well, but idk.

2020-11-23 14:56

what is your fantasy team right now if you don't mind telling me ?

I have not picked one yet :) But, i will 100% have Mir on the team

2020-11-23 15:02

you think spirit will beat vp and furia ?

2020-11-23 15:04

They could. Looking at Spirit-VP head to head Spirit > VP. Obviously Furia is a great team, but, November for them have been really bad. Sure, they played 2 Bo3s, but still. And, also rumours say that Hen1 and VINI will be removed from the team, but, idk, we have to wait and see if that happens.

2020-11-23 15:28

i think i'll go for chopper and sdy and pray that they achieve to win

2020-11-23 15:30

Yeah :P At least get 1 Spirit player :) Thats what i am doing.

i am going for 2 guys from 2 teams (heroic/spirit) big risk but if they win it was worth it :o i wish you good luck ! thanks for the quick talk

2020-11-23 15:31

Do it :) Good luck to you as well ^^ No problem.

2020-11-23 15:32

lose the qualifiers and still get into the tournament only CS things

2020-11-23 14:13

True, for sure they are better than EG, but they had their chance

2020-11-23 17:03

It is funny you say that, but it is not true. In '92, Denmark had not qualified to the European football championship, but a war broke out in the former Yugoslavia, so they could not participate, so we got in anyway since we were next in rank.. the rest is history (we won... yes big surprise..)

2020-11-26 15:52

Heroic wins blast

servian bootcamp effect

2020-11-23 14:19

rip

2020-11-23 14:20

EG disband after lost to Chaos

2020-11-23 14:21

Did someone tell Heroic Blast actually have admins in teamspeak?

2020-11-23 14:30

Why thats important?

2020-11-23 14:32

No 1 in the world <3

Endpoint: «are you kidding me?»

2020-11-23 14:37

eg pussies LMAO

2020-11-23 14:48

Sad, I feel like EG could have qualified, unlucky, Heroic not a bad pickup but I would honestly invite someone else.

EG already qualified for Blast Global so in any way this is much better for Heroic.

But I don't think Heroic deserves this spot honestly.

2020-11-23 15:46

WHO deserves it then? Dumbass

2020-11-23 18:52

I love you to.

2020-11-23 20:03

nice another tournament with the exact same teams! HYPE!!!

2020-11-23 14:59

Haha, actually a good one. +1

Rip fantasy

2020-11-23 15:00

Good.. they don’t deserve after losing to Chaos anyway mrjdjsbwnfuckers

WHY TF did they travel back to the US when they had upcoming torunaments in Europe??

they played in iem beijing na

2020-11-23 15:26

And that was a success in your eyes?

2020-11-23 16:19

well, if they won it, they could've qualified for iem global challenge

2020-11-23 16:20

They got invited :)

2020-11-23 16:21

oh, then you're correct

2020-11-23 16:29

That's great actually.

2020-11-23 15:05

Fallen is back EG :P

2020-11-23 15:18

I like how because EG can’t make it the rest of the teams in the bracket are punished with a much tougher opponent lmao

2020-11-23 15:20

#saveCerq

fuck, my fantasy

So no liquid then either right? Unless they already made it to Europe

Triumph beat Liquid with a player that play Valorant as his main game :)

2020-11-23 17:01

ok and

2020-11-23 21:02

EZ FOR TESES

FURIA, MIBR and Liquid travel to EU but not E.G?

2020-11-23 15:56

2020-11-23 16:02

>throw a spot in global challenge >no blast looolllllllll

heroic fucking smurfing in the showdown lmao

2020-11-23 16:34

ANOTHER TROPHY FOR HEROIC.. LETS GO! Let's hear it in s1mple's words : "HEROIC SMOORFINNNNN"

2020-11-23 16:35

Why not Havu? They should have played for the spot

2020-11-23 16:53

Havu only has 3 players right now lol

2020-11-23 17:02

According to "major rules" 3 players is still the core of the team. Imo they should play :) But ofc I would also prefer heroic

2020-11-23 17:19

Well yeah but the tournament kicks off tomorrow, with such a short notice I don't even know if they'd be capable of finding stand-ins in time tbh. A player might me busy, etc. Ideally I would want them to play as well, just doesn't seem feasible is all.

2020-11-23 17:40

Karma.. now Liquid and EG terminate contracts since they are not worth the salerey

2020-11-23 17:00

2020-11-23 17:09

lmao, EG pussied out, too scared to face EU teams

2020-11-23 17:45

EG about to disband also ffs

2020-11-23 17:46

corrupted tournament. After the fix of Heroic-Godsent at elisa invitational when the 2 maps heroic was wining 12-5 and still will participate.....

2020-11-23 19:00

they should make an additional qualifier. this is corrupt and undeserved.

2020-11-23 19:56

NA lul

2020-11-23 22:12

Everyone talking about NA CS is dead. The thing is that this impacts all CS community in a bad way. Everyone switches the game to Valorant and in the end, Valorant will be a more popular game than CS. In my opinion, it is easier to be a pro gamer in Valorant and soon the prize pool will be the same as CS.
