CS Asia Championships 2025Liquid breeze past HEROIC in CAC third-place decider
siuhy's men have bagged their second consecutive third-place finish in a row since adding EliGE.
Liquid have come out on top in the third-place decider series of the CS Asia Championships, crushing HEROIC 2-0 in the consolidation match.
This result puts an end to Liquid's run in Shanghai, their second LAN outing since the addition of Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski to their ranks. The international side marched through the group stage unblemished with wins over GamerLegion, MIBR, and Legacy, but a tough series against 3DMAX in their first stage match denied them a place in the grand final. The team's 2-0 drubbing of HEROIC adds another third-place finish to Liquid's trophy cabinet, matching their result at the recent Birch Cup.

Liquid will now have a few days off to travel and prepare for their next outing, back in Europe, at PGL Masters Bucharest, their final event before the start of their StarLadder Budapest Major campaign.
Though HEROIC looked fiercly competitive with stand-in AWPer Olek "hades" Miskiewicz for much of the rest of CAC, Linus "LNZ" Holtäng's men struggled in their final series of the event against Liquid. The match was competitive to start on Liquid's pick of Mirage, but strong showings from Polish duo Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek and Roland "ultimate" Tomkowiak resulted in a 4-4 tied game becoming a whopping 13-4 win for Liquid.
HEROIC's map pick of Mirage offered little in the way of reprieve; LNZ and company showed signs of life in the first half, but Liquid soon ran away with the map, taking it 13-5 to claim the 2-0 series win.
