Heroic Clinch BLAST Premier Spring Final With a 2-1 Over Vitality


Top Danish side Heroic finally broke their streak of Playoff losses to win their second big piece of silverware in less than a year

The pride of Denmark, Heroic, beat French outfit and reigning Major champions Vitality in the Grand Final of BLAST Premier Spring Final after what was a nail-biting 3-game series.

The climactic clash began on Vertigo, where Heroic put up a strong T-side before locking down their defenses to ensure a statement 16-9 victory. However, the Major winners struck back immediately afterwards on Mirage, where they subverted an evenly-balanced CT-side with an attacking rampage to level the series with a 16-10 triumph.

The final map, Inferno, once again yielded an 8-7 margin in favor of the defending Danes, but they were a force of nature as the bad guys, and shanked Vitality’s lackluster defense to win the right to hoist the famous BLAST seasonal trophy.

Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard led the way with 59 frags with a 1.23 rating across 3 maps, and he had stellar support from his leader Casper “cadiaN” Møller and longtime teammate Rasmus “sjuush” Beck. Although Martin “stavn” Lund and RenĂ© “TeSeS” Madsen weren’t quite at their best, they provided just enough oomph to get their team over the line, and Heroic closed out the CSGO season with a much-needed victory courtesy of their insane firepower combined with some brilliant strats.

For his incredible leadership, precise AWP shots and ice-cool temperament despite his passionate nature, Heroic leader cadiaN was adjudged the Maersk MVP for the Spring Final.

Having come in as runners-up at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023 and IEM Rio 2023, and following a shock loss to German side GamerLegion in the Semifinal of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, Heroic were beginning to garner a reputation as chokers. This was the second time such an adjective had been attached to them after their meteoric rise in the scene during the Covid-19 induced online era was juxtaposed by some pitiful performances on LAN in the months that followed.

However, Heroic managed to surprise many by winning last year’s BLAST Premier Fall Final, and now they’ve proven that the final of the aforementioned tournament in Copenhagen wasn’t a fluke.
