Heroic confirmed at DreamHack Open Rotterdam

HEROIC have accepted an invitation to compete at Dreamhack Open Rotterdam, the event's organisers have announced.

The announcement takes the team count for the event to five, with HEROIC joining Besiktas, who earned a spot through winning the DreamHack Showdown in Valencia, and the previously-invited trio of AVANGAR, DreamEaters and CR4ZY on the list of participants.

HEROIC recently revamped their squad by signing Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup from Tricked and bringing back Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer. After almost two months of inactivity, the team returned to action on Wednesday, in the closed qualifier for DreamHack Masters Malmö and in the ECS Season 7 Pinnacle Cup, beating Spirit and Windigo.

Heroic will travel to Rotterdam next month

DreamHack Open Rotterdam will take place from October 18-20 at Rotterdam Ahoy, with $100,000 on the line. There is now just one invite left to announce, with the final two spots going to the winners of the Benelux and European online qualifiers.
