The current form of HEROIC

The Norwegian organization was particularly successful in the first half of the last season, which has made them stand out. After placing 4th–6th in BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, the team was guaranteed a spot in the Spring Final; they won the prestigious Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023 silver medal. Notable accomplishments included second-place finishes at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023 and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR B. HEROIC placed third to fourth in both the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023 and the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 events.

HEROIC’s BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 participation concluded with great success. There, the team managed to secure the title. They qualified for BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023 after placing first to third at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. In the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023, “TeSeS” and his colleagues secured a spot in the top 6. HEROIC ended 3-4th in the Single-Elimination upper bracket at Gamers8 2023, however, the team made significant squad changes after finishing last in the ESL Pro League Season 18.

The Norwegian team finished 9-12th at the Roobet Cup 2023. They finished the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 in fifth through eighth place. Additionally, HEROIC placed in the top 6 at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023. At BLAST Premier: World Final 2023, HEROIC’s season campaign came to an end as they placed seventh to eighth in the standings. They were preparing for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B for the better part of this January. HEROIC placed 13th-16th in BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024 and received an invitation to BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024. The team placed in the top 8 in the 2024 Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice. In the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B professional competition, HEROIC finished with a 3-2 record, good for seventh place in the rankings, earning a ticket to the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.

The current form of Ninjas in Pyjamas

The previous season of Ninjas in Pyjamas wasn’t good. The Swedish organization failed to place highly in any of the major competitions. NiP placed 13th-16th in the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023. It’s unfortunate that they only finished in 17th-20th place during the ESL Pro League Season 17. Ninjas in Pyjamas placed seventh through eighth at the 2023 Intel Extreme Masters Rio; “hampus” and his teammates placed ninth through 11th in the then-prestigious BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 main competition, missing out on qualifying for the Legends stage. In the quarterfinals, NiP’s quest for the Gamers8 2023 title came to an end. Ninjas in Pyjamas performed admirably at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 though, placing in the top 3. Their biggest prize was a spot in BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023; nonetheless, it’s difficult to consider 13th-16th place at the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023 a decent showing.

NiP advanced to the semifinals of the Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023: European Qualifier and concluded their participation in the qualifiers on the fourth line of the results. With only 21st-28th position, the squad got embarrassed at ESL Pro League Season 18. NiP’s performance at the CS Asia Championships 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023 didn’t meet the expectations of their supporters, as they placed last and penultimate, respectively.

The year 2024 began with Ninjas in Pyjamas qualifying for the Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu, but they were unable to secure the desired outcome. NiP’s spot in BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024 was guaranteed by their 9th-12th place finish at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024.

Prior to the LAN event in Denmark, Ninjas in Pyjamas took part in a qualification competition called PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A in an attempt to earn a spot. However, their fans weren’t pleased, and they were eliminated from the qualifying round.
