Heretics move on to Masters Europe semis with 2-1 win over NiP

Rounds would continue to go back and forth, with nukkye finding a nice lurk one round and Christian "lowel" Garcia Antoran 1v4 clutching another one. It was incredibly close, but it ultimately went 13-11 in the favour of NiP.

Ascent was the final map, and Heretics kept RUBINO in to finish out the match. The first half was quite back-and-forth, with more heroics coming out from nukkye’s Reyna. Yaroslav "Jady" Nikolaev on Sage would have a very good half, ultimately clutching a 1v1 to make the half 7-5 for Heretics.

Moving on to their attack though, Heretics would begin to dominate. Late lurks from nukkye were crucial, and they showed multiple different paces and styles to systematically pick apart the NiP defense. NiP would only get a single round as the map went to Heretics 13-8, and the series 2-1.
