Heroic delivered a dominant performance against Virtus.pro in a two-map series at ESL Pro League Season 20, winning 13-8 on Ancient and 13-6 on Dust2 to eliminate the Russian team from the tournament.

This victory propels Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski and co. into the playoffs, where they will face MIBR in the next round.

The win marks a significant boost for Heroic, who have struggled with form recently.

After a poor showing at IEM Cologne due to visa issues with Abdul “?degster?” Gasanov and a last-place finish at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, the Counter-Strike team appears to have found stability in Malta.

“It feels way better,” said Rasmus “?sjuush?” Beck in a post-match interview, expressing relief over their improved coordination.

On the flip side, this defeat is another blow to Virtus.pro, who have been in a slump since adding Denis “?electroNic?” Sharipov to their roster.

Despite managing wins over Team Falcons, FURIA Esports, and RED Canids to reach the playoffs, their lacklustre terrorist-side performances against Heroic��scoring just four rounds across both maps��underscored their ongoing struggles.

The match began on Ancient, where Heroic rallied from an early deficit to lead 5-2, only for Virtus.pro to recover and hold a slim lead at halftime.

However, Heroic came out strong in the second half, converting key clutches, including a 2v4 and two 1v2s from NertZ and sjuush, to secure a 13-8 win.

On Dust2, Heroic dominated, building a 9-3 lead by halftime and closing out the series 13-6, with standout performances from sjuush and Guy “NertZ” Iluz.

In another ESL Pro League playoff match, The MongolZ pulled off a thrilling 2-1 victory over BIG.

The series went to triple overtime on Ancient, with BIG narrowly taking the map 22-19, thanks to a quad-kill from Johannes “?tabseN?” Wodarz.

However, The MongolZ bounced back, winning 13-11 on Nuke and 13-9 on Mirage to progress to the second round.

They will face Eternal Fire next, a team they previously defeated at the IEM Cologne Play-in.

Meanwhile, Team Spirit knocked out FURIA Esports with a 2-0 victory (13-9 Nuke, 13-11 Anubis).

FURIA showed improvement from their last meeting at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade but couldn’t overcome Spirit’s solid defensive play, particularly from Dmitry “?sh1ro?” Sokolov and Leonid “?chopper?” Vishnyakov.

Spirit advances to face Imperial Esports in the next round.

Finally, Complexity’s core roster earned their first-ever victory over FaZe Clan, winning 2-0 (13-10, 13-9) in a decisive series.

They took down FaZe on Anubis and Dust2, despite standout performances from Robin “?ropz?” Kool.

Complexity’s game plan, spearheaded by Johnny “?JT?” Theodosiou and coach Tiaan “?T.c?” Coertzen, neutralised FaZe’s usual unpredictability.

EliGE commented post-match that FaZe lacked their trademark confidence and individual flair.

Complexity’s impressive team play, anchored by Ricky “?floppy?” Kemery and Michael “?Grim?” Wince, was crucial to their win.

They now face Team Liquid next, with G2 waiting in the quarterfinals.

FaZe, despite their efforts, have now exited five events in a row at the first stage of the playoffs, continuing a frustrating run for the team.

The post Astralis add cadiaN to their CS2 roster as in-game leader appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
Astralis has announced the signing of Casper “cadiaN” M?ller as their Counter-Strike 2 new in-game leader (IGL), replacing Alexander “br0” Bro.

The move reunites cadiaN with his former Heroic teammates, Martin “stavn” Lund and Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard, less than a year after their public split from Heroic.

The Danish trio’s reunion is notable, given that stavn and jabbi’s decision not to play with cadiaN was a key factor in their departure from Heroic.

Despite the rocky history, cadiaN emphasised that the past issues have been addressed and the team is now fully aligned.

“We’re still hungry for trophies and share the same tactical vision that drove our success before,” he said.

This transition marks cadiaN’s move from Team Liquid, where he was recently benched, to leading Astralis.

This change also allows Nicolai “device” Reedtz, the legendary nine-time top-20 player, to return to his former role as Astralis’ primary AWPer.

Device had taken on the IGL role earlier in 2024, but after a period of mixed results, including disappointing exits at IEM Cologne and ESL Pro League, he openly expressed frustration with his performance.

CadiaN��s arrival now shifts leadership duties away from device, allowing him to focus on his AWPing.

Astralis’ revamped roster includes device as the AWPer, cadiaN as the IGL and rifler, with Staehr, jabbi, and stavn rounding out the lineup.

The team is set to debut under cadiaN’s leadership at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 in Copenhagen before turning their attention to the Shanghai RMR in hopes of qualifying for their first Major since 2022.

Astralis�� sports director, Kasper Straube, expressed excitement about cadiaN’s arrival, calling him a “winner��energetic and passionate in everything he does.”

The organisation hopes that his tactical prowess and leadership will help them return to the top of global Counter-Strike competition.

CadiaN himself said he shares Astralis’ vision of striving to be the best, and despite past controversies, he is committed to building a top Danish team that competes for major titles.

The move marks a bold new chapter for Astralis as they aim to reclaim their place among the world’s elite teams.

Psyonix has unveiled exciting changes for the 2025 Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS), with a massive $5,000,000 prize pool and format updates aimed at enhancing both competition and fan engagement.

The 2025 season introduces a brand-new 1v1 series, running alongside the traditional 3v3 format, offering individual players a chance to showcase their talents on the global RLCS stage.

Photo: Rocket League Esports

New 1v1 Series Format

The 1v1 competition will be divided across the first two splits of the season:

Split 1: Open qualifiers will take place in Europe, South America (SAM), and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Top players will compete for cash prizes, and the winners from Europe and SAM will face off at the first Major��s 1v1 final.

Split 2: North America, Middle East & North Africa (MENA), Oceania (OCE), and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will host their qualifiers, with the top players progressing to the second Major��s 1v1 final.

The winners from these Majors will then battle in a 1v1 showdown at the 2025 World Championship, creating a new dimension of individual competition and rivalries, including the potential for teammates to face each other.

Last Chance Open Qualifiers

A new “Last Chance Open Qualifier” will be introduced, held between Major 2 and the World Championship.

These qualifiers will occur in the four strongest regions based on performance at Majors.

Only one team from each region will advance to the World Championship, raising the stakes and giving underdog teams one final opportunity to qualify.

Expanded World Championship

The 2025 World Championship will expand from 16 to 20 teams, including a new play-in stage.

Four teams from the Last Chance Qualifiers will compete against the lowest-seeded teams from the lowest-ranked regions.

From this stage, four teams will advance to join the top 12 in the main event.

This format gives more teams a shot at glory on the biggest stage in Rocket League.

Ranking Qualification System

A new Rankings Qualification system will also streamline the qualification process.

The top eight teams from each qualifier will automatically advance to later stages in the next Open Qualifier, bypassing early rounds.

This system won’t apply to the first qualifier of each split or the Last Chance Qualifier, maintaining competitiveness for fresh challengers.

With these exciting changes, the 2025 RLCS season promises to deliver more opportunities, intense rivalries, and unforgettable moments.

Fans and players alike can look forward to what could be the most dynamic season in Rocket League history.

    The post Team BDS claim 2024 RLCS World Championship title appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    Team BDS secured their second Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) World Championship title in Fort Worth, Texas, after the European team came from behind to defeat G2 Stride 4-2 in the grand final.

    In what was a similar story to most of the BDS’ series throughout the playoffs, Evan “M0nkey M00n” Rogez and co. stormed back from a series deficit to lift the trophy.

    In the lead-up to the World Championship grand final, BDS defeated FURIA Esports 3-2 in the tiebreaker for the fourth seed before beating G2 Stride 4-3 for the first time in the upper bracket semi-finals and Team Falcons 4-3 in the semi-finals.

    Outside of the Falcons clash, BDS were made to come from behind to win in the other two series, which appeared to set them up perfectly for the grand final, when they fell behind 1-0 and 2-1 throughout the best-of-seven clash.

    G2 couldn’t have asked for a better start to the final, as the North American squad, spurred on by the home crowd, smashed BDS 5-0 in the opening game.

    The second game was much closer and overtime was needed; however, Brice “ExoTiiK” Bigeard didn’t need much longer as he scored the first and winning goal of the match within 10 seconds of play to level the series at 1-1.

    BDS started the third game with more confidence and put up a strong fight, but thanks to a strong performance from the G2 squad, they regained the series lead with a 3-1 victory.

    With the score sitting at 2-1 in the grand final series, BDS took a timeout to talk things over, and it paid off quickly.

    Team BDS went on to dominate the fourth and fifth games, winning 4-1 and 5-2, respectively, giving themselves a championship point in the sixth game.

    Although the game score reads 3-2, BDS jumped out to an early lead and controlled possession for most of the game to secure the championship title.

    For M0nkey M00n, the victory earned him his second World Championship title following his maiden title with BDS in 2022, which was also played in Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.

    ExoTiiK took the highest individual honour of the event, as he was awarded the Most Valuable Player following a stellar grand final performance for the champions.

    On the other side of the pitch, history repeated itself for G2, as they fell to BDS once again in the grand final of the World Championship in the same arena as their 2022 loss.

    G2 Stride entered Worlds full of confidence following their third-fourth-place finish at the Esports World Cup, victory at the London Major, and runner-up finish at the Copenhagen Major throughout the season.

    However, it was BDS that they couldn’t defeat, losing their only two series of the tournament to the European powerhouse.

    With the 2024 season now over, we look forward to a bigger and better 2025 season of the RLCS.

    During the broadcast of the grand final, the RLCS announced that the 2025 season will offer US$5 million in prize money and kick off much earlier than previous seasons, returning in January.

    The post Team Liquid lift The International 2024 trophy appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    Team Liquid has etched their name into Dota 2 history once again, securing a dominant 3-0 victory over Gaimin Gladiators in The International 2024 (TI 2024) grand final.

    This triumph marks Liquid��s second-ever The International championship, making them only the third organisation in Dota history to win the Aegis of Champions twice, joining the ranks of OG and Team Spirit.

    The grand final between Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators wasn��t just another Dota 2 showdown��it was the culmination of a rivalry that began at the Lima Major 2023, where Gaimin Gladiators first dealt Liquid a painful 3-0 loss.

    Since then, Gladiators had become a recurring nightmare for Liquid, besting them in four more major grand finals across DreamLeague Season 19, ESL One Berlin, and the Bali Major in 2023, as well as the Riyadh Masters 2024.

    However, when it mattered most, Liquid turned the tables in emphatic fashion, sweeping their longtime rivals in what would become one of the most one-sided grand finals in TI history.

    Liquid��s journey to the top in Copenhagen was nothing short of flawless.

    After a strong performance in the group stage, the team did not drop a single game in the playoffs, culminating in their 3-0 grand final victory.

    Their roster, featuring seasoned veterans like Micha? “Nisha” Jankowski, Aydin “Insania” Sarkohi, and Michael “miCKe” Vu, displayed incredible growth and unity.

    Offlaner Neta “33” Shapira became the first-ever player to win The International with two different teams, while Nisha, after several close calls in previous years, finally lifted the Aegis, completing his personal journey to TI glory.

    Gaimin Gladiators surprised fans in the opening game with a last-pick Rikimaru for Quinn “Quinn” Callahan to counter Nisha��s Puck.

    Early skirmishes were evenly matched, but Gladiators pulled ahead with Chen��s aura-based sustain.

    However, Liquid adapted by splitting the map and isolating their opponents, and with standout performances from Tusk and Visage, they swiftly took the first game in 30 minutes.

    Gladiators attempted to deny Nisha��s Puck by picking it themselves in the second game, but Liquid outdrafted them with a powerful Bristleback and Shadow Demon combo.

    By 12 minutes, Bristleback had an Aghanim��s Scepter, allowing Liquid to dominate the map.

    Despite Gladiators�� efforts, Liquid��s control was relentless, and they closed out the game in 44 minutes.

    The final game saw Quinn on Pangolier and Nisha back on his signature Puck.

    Despite Gladiators’ strong early game, a key moment at 17 minutes��a perfectly timed Dream Coil and Terrorise combo��shifted momentum entirely in Liquid��s favour.

    From there, Liquid methodically dismantled Gladiators, forcing them to tap out after 34 minutes, securing the 3-0 sweep.

    Liquid��s coach, William “Blitz” Lee, delivered one of the most emotional post-TI speeches in recent memory, reflecting on the team’s journey through years of struggle.

    “I feel like they took a chance on a guy who��s never coached a winning team before,” he said.

    “We had so many losses and went five years without winning anything. And we could��ve disbanded 20 different times like people told us to.

    “We didn��t even make a TI, and Liquid still kept us on.

    “I didn��t do anything here; I��m just so glad that people like Zai, Nisha, Matu��they took a chance on us and were willing to play with us. And I��m so glad that I didn��t ruin Nisha��s career.”

    His speech underscored the resilience and unity that defined Liquid��s journey, emphasising the importance of trusting the process and growing as a team.

    Liquid��s victory at TI 2024 wasn��t just about the Aegis; it was the culmination of a five-year journey, overcoming countless setbacks to triumph on the biggest stage.

    For Gaimin Gladiators, the result was another heartbreaking grand final loss, their second consecutive defeat after falling to Team Spirit at TI 2023.

    Nevertheless, they leave TI 2024 as one of the strongest teams in the world, with the hope that their time will come soon.

    Team Liquid��s emphatic victory in Copenhagen solidified their place among Dota 2��s elite, proving once again that perseverance, teamwork, and faith in one another can lead to the greatest of achievements.

    The post BetBoom & Aurora bow out of Dota 2 The International 2024 appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    The International 2024 has been full of high-stakes action, and day four of the main event delivered intense matches.

    The tournament saw its ninth and tenth eliminations as Aurora and BetBoom Team bowed out, leaving Xtreme Gaming as the last non-European Dota 2 team standing.

    Aurora faced Xtreme Gaming in a fierce lower bracket showdown.

    Game one was a one-sided stomp in favour of XG, but game two was much more competitive.

    Aurora’s Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong debuted the first Lycan pick of the tournament, using Alpha Wolves and a Nullifier to counter XG’s Pugna.

    On the other side, Wang “Ame” Chunyu’s Faceless Void constantly pressured Aurora’s Artem “lorenof” Melnick on Storm Spirit, neutralising his impact.

    Despite Aurora��s valiant efforts to hold out for nearly an hour, XG’s aggression proved too much, ending Aurora’s run with a seventh-eighth place finish and marking the end of South-east Asia��s presence at TI13.

    Meanwhile, BetBoom Team also met their end at the hands of Team Falcons.

    The series was tightly contested, with game two being particularly intense.

    After a strong early-game performance from Falcons, BetBoom fought back with a high-ground defence led by their safelane Medusa, who bought a Divine Rapier to turn the tide.

    However, a critical misplay during a push��where Medusa had her Black King Bar (BKB) in her backpack��led to her being taken down twice.

    This swung the game in Falcons’ favour, and they closed out the series, eliminating BetBoom from the tournament.

    Falcons’ Andreas “Cr1t-” Nielsen, a veteran of The International, reflected on the win and the experience of playing alongside debutant mid-laner Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, praising his energy and adaptability.

    As the tournament continued, the upper bracket saw dominant performances from some of the top teams.

    Team Liquid faced off against Cloud9 in a two-game series.

    Game one was all Liquid, as they dominated from start to finish.

    Game two; however, saw Cloud9 put up a stronger fight.

    At one point, Cloud9 even took down a tier 4 tower, but Liquid’s buybacks and a miraculous play from Micha? “Nisha” Jankowski on Puck turned the tide, securing Liquid��s spot in the upper bracket finals.

    Gaimin Gladiators then took on Tundra Esports in another upper bracket semifinal.

    The Gladiators showcased their prowess, with Erik “tOfu” Engel on Lone Druid and Quinn on Storm Spirit leading the charge.

    Game one was one-sided, but game two was even more of a rout, with GG cruising to a 26-3 victory in just 24 minutes.

    With BetBoom and Aurora eliminated, Xtreme Gaming remains the only non-European team in the tournament.

    XG will face Tundra Esports in the lower bracket, while Team Falcons take on Cloud9.

    At the top, Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators are set to clash in the upper bracket finals, ensuring both teams a spot in the top three.

    As The International 2024 continues, each remaining team fights to have their names immortalised on the Aegis of Champions, with millions of fans watching their every move.

    In a dramatic showdown at the LCK Regional Finals, Dplus KIA secured their spot as the Korean league’s third seed for the LoL World Championship after a thrilling 3-2 victory over T1.

    The series marked Dplus KIA’s first win against T1 this year, breaking T1’s perfect 6-0 record in their 2023 meetings.

    The win also ended Heo “ShowMaker” Su’s 15-match losing streak against Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and T1, with ShowMaker earning MVP honours for his standout performances, especially in the decisive game five, where his LeBlanc was crucial in clinching the victory.

    The match held even more significance for Dplus KIA’s rookie jungler, Choi “Lucid” Yong-hyeok.

    In his debut LCK season, Lucid not only helped secure his team’s World Championship qualification but also earned the “Rookie of the Year” title, solidifying his position as one of the brightest new talents heading into the global stage.

    Despite T1 taking a 2-1 lead after game three, the team faltered in the final two games.

    A controversial decision saw Faker, who had been dominant on Yone, switched to Corki, limiting his playmaking potential.

    Dplus KIA capitalised on T1’s struggles, ultimately winning the 192-minute series, which was filled with back-and-forth mistakes and counterplays on both sides.

    With this defeat, T1, who is the reigning World Champion, is on the brink of missing Worlds for the first time in the team’s storied history.

    Their last chance to qualify comes on Saturday, September 14th, where they will face the winner of KT Rolster and BNK FearX.

    KT Rolster and FearX will battle on Friday, September 13th, to determine who will challenge T1 in the final match for the LCK��s fourth and last Worlds seed.

    The dispute stems from Scout’s transfer to LNG at the start of the 2023 season, which led EDG to file a lawsuit.

    After losing the first trial, EDG appealed the case, which has since escalated to a second trial.

    As part of the legal proceedings, EDG reportedly requested a travel ban on Scout, complicating his ability to participate in the World Championship.

    Scout had planned to return to South Korea for vacation but has been forced to remain in China while the case progresses.

    If the court rules against him, the travel ban could extend into October, meaning Scout would miss the Swiss stage of Worlds, held in Berlin.

    This situation places LNG in a precarious position, as they currently lack a substitute mid-laner.

    Their only substitute is Zhao “Shadow” Ziqiang, a former jungler who lacks Scout��s expertise in the mid-lane.

    Although some teams have filled gaps by loaning players, Scout’s absence would severely impact LNG’s chances at Worlds due to his pivotal role in their success.

    Scout has been instrumental in LNG��s performance, helping them secure a fourth-place finish in the 2024 LPL Summer Split playoffs and win the Regional Finals over Weibo Gaming.

    His potential absence would disrupt LNG��s momentum, as they rely heavily on his individual skill to compete at the highest level.

    SuperGent, the agency representing Scout, has issued a public plea to EDG, urging them to lift the travel ban for the sake of both the fans and LNG��s performance at Worlds.

    However, without EDG��s cooperation, it seems unlikely that Scout will be able to attend.

    Complicating matters further are rumours that Scout’s agency may have mishandled his contractual obligations, potentially breaching contracts while trying to secure his transfer to LNG.

    As the 2024 World Championship approaches, Scout��s involvement remains uncertain.

    If the legal battle doesn��t resolve in his favour, LNG will be forced to find a replacement and adapt quickly.

    The esports community is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the case, knowing that Scout��s presence could be the key to LNG��s success at Worlds.

    NRG and Immortals from the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) are reportedly not making the jump into Riot Games�� newly unified League of Legends Americas competition.

    This information, first shared by esports journalist Travis Gafford, has surprised many, particularly with NRG��s unexpected exit.

    Immortals�� departure comes as little surprise due to their underwhelming performance since rejoining the LCS in 2019.

    However, NRG��s exit has left the community stunned, especially considering the organisation acquired Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) and its LCS slot in 2023.

    In a short span, NRG built a championship-winning roster, had a solid run at the 2023 World Championship, and now appears to be walking away from League of Legends esports.

    Fans expressed frustration, with some accusing NRG of buying the team only to let it operate on autopilot before bailing.

    This report also lists six teams expected to participate in the new League of Legends Americas competition: Cloud9, Dignitas, Shopify Rebellion, FlyQuest, and 2024 World Championship representatives Team Liquid and 100 Thieves.

    While these teams are expected to make the transition, there are still uncertainties, particularly regarding 100 Thieves, which is rumoured to be considering restructuring or even selling its league spot.

    The restructuring of the LCS comes as Riot Games plans to merge North America��s LCS with Latin America’s LLA and Brazil��s CBLOL into a unified two-conference region by 2025.

    While teams like Cloud9, FlyQuest, Liquid, and Shopify Rebellion have reportedly embraced the changes, nothing is set in stone until Riot formally announces the final list of participants.
