DreamLeague Season 23: Heroic Completes Playoff Lineup

Heroic clinched the final playoff spot for DreamLeague Season 23 by defeating Team Liquid 2-1 in a thrilling tiebreaker series. The group stage concluded dramatically, with the decisive three-game tiebreaker lasting over 75 minutes – a sharp contrast to Heroic's 16-minute loss to Liquid on Day 1.

For Team Liquid, this marks their fourth consecutive elimination in the DreamLeague group stage. Despite their efforts, taking high ground proved too challenging, and Heroic capitalized on Liquid's mistakes, securing their playoff position and keeping their hopes alive for a direct invite to the Riyadh Masters. Although Liquid had already secured a spot at Riyadh through EPT points, the upcoming patch could bring significant changes for the team.
