  • Sangal Esports are in solid form

Head to Head


HEROIC and Sangal Esports have yet to meet this year.

Sangal Esports Form


Sangal Esports had an excellent start to their ESL Pro League Season 20 campaign. They defeated FaZe Clan (2-1) and set themselves up nicely to secure a spot in the next stage. Unfortunately, they failed to do so.

Despite Sangal’s success as a stronger opponent, they fell apart against Eternal Fire and lost in two maps. It wasn’t a particularly close series either, as Sangal managed to win just nine rounds across the two maps with 8-13 on Dust II and 1-13 on Nuke. It was a humiliating loss, which likely plays a big role in the current prices on this match.

But how much weight can we put on one poor showing, considering Sangals’ otherwise strong form over the last few weeks?

Sangal Esports Squad & Team News


Sangal Esports have not announced any roster changes.

  • Linus "LNZ" Holtäng
  • Simon "yxngstxr" Boije
  • Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç
  • Samet "jottAAA" Köklü
  • Dawid "SaMey" Stańczak

HEROIC Form


HEROIC started ESL Pro League Season 20 with a painful loss against Ninjas in Pyjamas (1-2) but bounced back in the first round of the mid bracket where they beat Lynn Vision 2-1. A win is a win, but it wasn’t a convincing display from HEROIC.

They won the series with 13-10 on Dust II, 6-13 on Ancient, and 13-7 on Nuke. So, while the series wasn’t very close, you would expect to see more from a European lineup. On the other side, shaky displays from HEROIC are not anything new.

HEROIC are now 5-3 from their last five and 1-3 from their last four. Those include losses agianst paiN Gaming and Eternal Fire, and wins against Team Falcons, Fnatic, 3DMAX, and B8. 

HEROIC Squad & Team News


No roster changes for HEROIC.

  • René "TeSeS" Madsen 
  • Rasmus "sjuush" Beck 
  • Guy "NertZ" Iluz
  • Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski 
  • Abdulkhalik "degster" Gasanov

Verdict

HEROIC are not in optimal shape, and while they’ve shown some life of late, their run at ESL Pro League Season 20 so far does not inspire much confidence. On the other side, Sangal Esports have shown excellent form over the last month and even defeated FaZe in the first round – yet it is their abysmal performance against Eternal Fire that makes it fair to question whether Sangal have what it takes to perform.

Depending on how much weight we can put on Sangal’s loss to Eternal Fire, they might be a solid pick at plus money. And considering Eternal Fire are unquestionably in a better state than HEROIC, Sangal should do better on Thursday.
