Heroic and AGO will face each other in the Group A Best of 3 at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe (Online) tournament. Both teams lost their first matches, and now they are looking for a chance to redeem themselves. This will be their second encounter, and Ago won the first one 2-1 (Vertigo 16-5 Nuke 10-16 Train 16-3).
Heroic continues with great results this summer. After winning the first place at the IEM New York 2020 Europe Closed Qualifier, and the second at the DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Europe tournament, they won ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe tournament with a 3-0 victory against Vitality in the Grand final. Currently, they are second in the world and have a win rate of 65.5% in the past three months.

Pick: Handicap match -1.5 Heroic (-113 @PINNACLE)
Heroic is the bookmaker's favorite and better-ranked team. After the surpassing lost in the first round, Heroic cannot repeat the same mistake. AGO has won only one map in the last five matches, and I do not think they will conquer any in this match.
