Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to look at what's happening at Thunderpick World Championship 2024. This is a championship where 16 teams play for a total prize pool of $850,000 with $500,000 going to the winner.
Let's talk about Group C, where Heroic and Legacy are among the quartet of participants. These are the teams that will play each other in the first match of the group.
We are trying to find out how this match will end and how its result will affect the position of the teams in Group C.
Let's go.
Heroic Form
Let's open the analysis of Heroic vs Legacy match with the analysis of Heroic's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.3.
Heroic have looked very good in the 2023 season. They played consistently in TIR-S tournaments and were a significant force.
Heroic had a streak of great tournaments. It was top 2 at IEM Rio 2023, top 4 BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and IEM Dallas 2023. Heroic went on to win the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 and also finished in the top 3 of the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023
- Heroic roster: TeSeS, sjuush, NertZ, kyxsan, degster.
Before their performance at Gamers8 Heroic attended another prestigious tournament - IEM Cologne. Being one of the main contenders to win the German tournament, the Danes made it to the play-offs of the competition, but there they couldn't move further than the first round. Heroic lost to Astralis in the first round of the IEM Cologne play-offs with a score of 0-2.
At Gamers8 they debuted with a match against Falcons. In general, the game ended predictably, but the French gave a fight, especially on the first map (Mirage 22-18 in favour of Heroic). The second one went to Heroic with the score 16-10.
In the previous match Heroic faced GamerLegion. Despite GL's seemingly idle position in that match, they were able to get on the Danes' nerves and take the map, but still lost in the end.
Heroic ended Gamers8 with a match against ENCE. The Danish club again failed to beat the Finns and left the major championship at the top-4 stage.
In the first match at ESL Pro League Season 18, the team played against Rooster. The Australians offered no resistance and took 6 rounds in two games.
Next was BIG - another passable opponent for Heroic, but it was not to be. The Danes lost 0-2, losing on Ancient with a score of 23-25 and on Inferno with a score of 13-16.
Heroic got into the last chance net after a 0-2 loss at MOUZ. So from the "achievements" so far, a win over the raw Roosters and that's it. It looks very deplorable. And it ended no better: Heroic Ledge and Monte crashed out of ESL Pro League Season 18.
Next up was Roobet Cup 2023, where Heroic finished in the top 12. After unsatisfactory performance at EPL and Roobet Cup Heroic played not better at Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023. There, it was top-8 and top-6 respectively.
Heroic face many challenges in the 2024 season. They still attend top tournaments, but the performance is much worse: Top-16 at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, Top-8 at IEM Chengdu 2024, Top-28 at ESL Pro League Season 9, Top-6 at IEM Dallas 2024 and Top-8 at YaLLa Compass 2024.
Later, the series of appearances at various championships continued, with Heroic playing at both BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 (Top 12) and IEM Cologne 2024 (Top 20) and BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024 (Top 16). In October 2024 Heroic were close to finally taking the championship title, reaching the final of Elisa Masters Espoo 2024, but Ledgeili ENCE in the grand final.
Heroic's mappool
Heroic's best map is Nuke. The Danes have 5 wins and 0 losses there.
They like to play Overpass, where they lost only once. In three months on Overpass - 5-1.
One of the most frequently played and yet successful maps is Inferno. Heroic has a 9-3 statistic here. It also goes well on Ancient, where Heroic is 3-1 in matches.
Legacy Form
We continue the analysis of Legacy vs Heroic match with the analysis of Legacy's form. The Brazilian club is playing as a second team with odds of 3.5.
Legacy are ranked 78th in the world ranking by HLTV. Like most of the teams here, they are not very efficient, but they don't have to be, because they appeared on the competitive arena only in August 2023.
They managed to take the top 16 at CCT East Europe Series #1 and CCT North Europe Series #7. Later they finished in the Top 40 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2.
Then there were a number of good events, not a number, but two such tournaments. Legacy took Top 6 at CCT Online Finals #3, Top 8 at BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown 2023.
There's also a Top 12 at Copa BetBoom 2023, which isn't really something to brag about. There was also a Top 6 at Gamer Arena Cup 2023 Season 1.
- Legacy lineup: latto, dumau, NEKIZ, b4rtiN. saadzin.
Before appearing at CCT Online Finals #5 Legacy won their first tournament. It was quite modest: they won at CBCS 2023 Season 3. Later there were appearances at LEON x TEAMPLAY Season 2, more CCT East Europe Series #4 and CCT Online Finals #4. Both tournaments are top 9.
The main achievement of the team, if it can be called an achievement, was the performance at PGL Copenhagen Major 2024, where Legacy reached Top 20. After that, it was a constant attempt to place high at the CBCS Season 5 and CCT Season 2 North American Series #3 with a top-4 finish.
Legacy Mapple
Legacy has two 100 per cent maps. They are Nuke with 9 wins in 9 matches, and Anubis with 5 matches and 0 losses.
They also play Ancient (66% wins in 3 matches). Still playing Mirage (9 matches, 4 wins). Vertigo with 2 wins and 3 losses and Overpass (2 wins in 7 matches).
Not playing Inferno.
History of head-to-head meetings between Heroic and Legacy
Previously, the teams have not played each other in official matches.
Predicted results of Legacy - Heroic at Thunderpick World Championship 2024
I don't expect a close game in this match. As far as I'm concerned, Heroic should have no problem closing this match, although I wouldn't be surprised if they find those problems.
Bottom line: Heroic wins.
