In an exhilarating final at the PGL Wallachia Season 2, Heroic emerged victorious against Team Falcons with a commanding 3-1 win. This triumph not only earns Heroic a prize of $300,000 but also marks their first major tournament win of the season and a historic LAN victory for South America. The match showcased exceptional skill and teamwork, solidifying Heroic’s place in the competitive Dota 2 landscape.
The Road to the Finals
Heroic’s journey to the finals was marked by impressive performances and strategic gameplay throughout the tournament. They demonstrated resilience and adaptability, overcoming formidable opponents to reach the championship match against Team Falcons. Each game leading up to the final showcased their potential and teamwork, setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
The final match highlighted standout performances from several key players on Heroic’s roster. Parker, known for his exceptional skills, played a pivotal role in securing crucial victories. Alongside him, teammates 4nalog, Davai Lama, Scofield, and KJ contributed significantly to their success, executing strategies that outmaneuvered their opponents.
The Match Breakdown: Game by Game
The grand final unfolded in four intense games, with Heroic taking an early lead. Their strategic plays and strong team coordination allowed them to dominate key moments in each match. Game 3 was particularly notable for its dramatic turns, showcasing Heroic’s ability to adapt under pressure and maintain composure against Team Falcons’ aggressive tactics.
Being the first South African team to win a Dota 2 LAN tournament and having one of the greatest rosters ever from that area, Heroic has made history. Heroic wins bragging rights over Team Falcons and $300,000 from PGL Wallachia S2. A perfect way to cap off a LAN that saw four teams from the Americas qualify for the playoffs.
The Heroic team, which consists of players that have honed their skills on legendary SA squads like Beastcoast, Hokori, Keys Stars, and others, is in many ways the ideal lineup to win this award. Belgian-American polyglot Cedric “Davai Lama” Deckmyn, the team’s only non-SA import, has gone from being a Tier 2 grinder on D2 Hustlers to a top-tier competitor with Heroic.
For the Falcons, it marks the conclusion of a competition that, regrettably, has not been centered on their play. The team’s decision to continue with its squad without making any adjustments may soon come under scrutiny after the diversion caused by Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf’s problems earlier in the event. After all, it was anticipated that the TI13 team in fourth place would have a simple time winning this tournament.
