10 May 2021 - Heroic lost against Navi (Natus Vincere) in the semi finals of Dreamhack Masters, and secured the third place and a prize of $20 000. The match was even from start to finish, where Navi unfortunately won in the end. Still a quite impressive achievement by Heroic, considering that two of their players got diagnosed with Covid-19 right in the middle of the tournament. 

The team now prepares for the Regional Major Ranking event Flashpoint, where Heroic will play their first match against Sprout on Wednesday 12/5. 

In September 2020, Dreamhack, the premier gaming lifestyle festival company, announced they will merge with ESL, the world's largest esport company, to accelerate their mission to shape the future of esports and gaming. Together they stand behind some of the largest international leagues and tournaments such as ESL One, Intel Extreme Masters, ESL Pro League, Dreamhack Masters and other top tier stadium-size events. 

Counter Strike (CS) was released in 1999 and is one of the biggest esport games globally in terms of both players and viewership. CS has millions of active players and organized tournaments are watched by millions of fans from all over the world.
