Stats, predictions and more.. look more about the European qualified teams to six major Jönköping.

The team had a regular year after the Six Invitational, in the first stage staying in 5th position, 1st out of Major Charlotte. With young players and the experienced Pro League Champion (NeLo from NaVi, PL Japan S10), good mental and balance helped to upgrade the performances of the team.

Heroic
For Heroic, the year is a real roller coaster. In the first stage almost perfect record, with 8 wins and 1 loss, but Charlotte it was far from perfect, with 2 wins and 4 losses, finished the tournament in 13th-15th. For stage 2, almost got the classification, staying in 5th, out of Six Major Berlin because of the first tiebreak: Round Diff. Heroic (+3) – 5th / G2 (+11) – 4th. After the stage, Sloth & GorgoNa were out of the lineup but added Meloo (France) & jume (Germany). After these changes, made 6 wins, 16 points, same of NaVi, but the Round Diff is for Heroic now: Heroic (+8) – 4th / NaVi (+5) – 5th.
In this stage, the team had 6 wins and 3 losses, 16 points, your games had few kills in each round, a fee of 6,96 kills per round (13th among the teams qualified to Jönköping in Stage 3), and a few fee of Clutches per Map, 0,56 (15th) and 9% of the attacks had plants for them (5th).

Predict: Fight for Top 8
We believe that among the classifieds, BDS is in a better line condition, but it is in the dangerous Group C. Wolves, MNM, and Heroic are good teams, but the fight tends to be more dangerous than expected, especially for Heroic who is in a group with 2 title favorites (TSM and Team Liquid).
