It's elimination day for two teams, and we already saw one eliminated due to unfortunate issues. Aurora is out of the tournament after failing to reconnect for their third game against BetBoom Team. This connection issue has affected other teams bootcamping in Romania, including HEROIC.
The South American team wasn't able to keep playing their first game versus Azure Ray, after only seven minutes. The match's casters agreed HEROIC had the lead during laning phase, but the game had to be forfeited while they were searching for a new location to play.
Vitoria "Guashineen" Otero, HEROIC's manager, confirmed that they are ready for their second game. "We managed to get on time to what seems to be the only lan cafe that has internet in Bucharest and [game two] is starting now", she said on her X account. The Azure Ray vs HEROIC DreamLeague S23 series continued after this.
HEROIC is eliminated after almost 70 minutes of fighting, and this puts an end to their Riyadh Masters 2024 (EWC) run. However, they can still get there through closed qualifiers. We got to cover the Game 2 live, so keep reading for the best teamfight clips and match recap!
