MOUZ overpower Heroic to dump them out
MOUZ made short work of Heroic to set up a deciding match against either FaZe or G2 tomorrow.
siuhy led from the front and Brollan showed signs of the exciting prospect we've seen in the past resurfacing, while only Zyphon showed up for Heroic in any sense.
A proud sycrone told BLAST.tv: "It was a comfortable victory. We showed up much more today than yesterday".
It was a disappointing end to the year for Heroic but it's hard to blame them when taking into account the extraneous circumstances.
"They showed against FaZe yesterday that they can actually play, but obviously conditions for them are very tough right now. They need more than a few things to align."

It was one of the stand-ins who stood tallest for Heroic in the face of adversity, as Zyphon dropped 21 in 20 rounds despite the loss.
He found himself in two clutches down the stretch and pulled off what seemed like a very important clutch, but Heroic as a team fell short.
torzsi's series was characterised by some heinous shots - and perhaps the best was a sweet headshot through the silo as he took an aggressive position outside with the AWP in the first half.
MOUZ collected nine CT rounds, with Brollan finding multikills regularly and torzsi finding openings against the experienced Astralis players, leaving it all up to Zyphon far too often.
sycrone has been pleased with Brollan's eagerness to learn: "He's like a kid again, he has Christmas lights in his eyes!"
Eight of the nine CT rounds won were without a bomb plant coming in from Heroic either, which isn't a great look.

siuhy was the pick of the bunch as he ripped open the Heroic defence time and time again in the midround.
Heroic ended the map with 11 opening kills despite only converting five of them, and MOUZ were sacrificing xertioN seemingly every round and coming out on top.
An early triple in middle from dupreeh put Heroic in a 3-2 lead, but they found themselves unable to hold middle even with man advantages and lost a half they probably shouldn't have.
torzsi turned it on in the second half with a menagerie of sexy opening kills, while siuhy shut down everything TeSeS tried to call both individually and as a leader.
"When we set our minds to something, we deliver on those," concluded sycrone, who emphatically told BLAST.tv that he was "feeling confident, feeling good" about tomorrow's game.
