On paper, this looks like a competitive game, as both teams have found some success this season. But HEROIC have looked significantly better over the last month, and with little to separate the two squads quality-wise, it is fair to put more weight on recent form.
HEROIC might not be the most consistent or reliable team, but given what B8 have shown over the last couple of weeks, they are a tough sell to walk away from this game victorious.
- HEROIC enter the match as favourites
- B8 are enduring a rough spell
- HEROIC have shown a lot more of late
B8 Lead H2H 1-0

HEROIC Are Warming Up
HEROIC have been finding some success in recent months, having placed top-three in two of the last three tournaments they’ve attended. HEROIC won Stake Pulse Beat II, placed third in Pulse Beat III, and, more recently, ended their DraculaN Season 7 campaign in seventh-eighth place.
Despite the disappointing performance at DraculaN, HEROIC have been showing good form. They’re 11-3 from their last 14 games, granted the three defeats came over the stretch of the last six – against Ninjas in Pyjamas, SINNERS Esports, and FaZe.
While consistency hasn’t been HEROIC’s strong suit, they have been showing promise and should be kept an eye on as a team that can do some damage against lesser squads.

B8 With Low Expectations
B8 have not won a tournament since April, but they made some noise in September, when they reached the semifinals of Logitech G Play Connect. Since then, B8 have attended Stake Ranked Episode 4 and Tesla Cup, but were far less successful, ending the tournaments in seventh-eighth and fourth place.
At Tesla Cup, B8 played five games, but lost all but two – against Alliance and K27 – with defeats against K27, HOTU, and FaZe Clan. Even at Stake Ranked E4, B8 failed to amaze, losing to Legacy and Fnatic. That translates to a worrying 2-6 record over the last eight games.
B8 have long been a competitive low-tier squad, but of late they’ve looked anything but that. Expectations are low for this team.
B8 Squad & Team News
B8 haven’t announced any roster changes.
- Andrii "npl" Kukharskyi
- Dmytro "esenthial" Tsvir
- Oleksii "alex666" Yarmoshchuk
- Artem "kensizor" Kapran
- Danylo "s1zzi" Vinnyk
Verdict
B8 are higher rated than HEROIC, having accomplished more this season. But their form since September has been lacking, and especially in recent weeks, B8 have struggled to show anything exciting.
While HEROIC have been somewhat inconsistent of late, they have been ramping up since the coaching change, and are in great shape ahead of their trip to Beijing.
Qualitatively, the two teams are very close. However, HEROIC are in much better shape.
