Under Benjamin “blameF” Bremer, Team Heroic did witness a rise in their rankings on HLTV’s ranking pool. But soon afterwards, the latter was transferred to the Juggernauts (Complexity). Since then they haven’t been able to perform up to their mark in their latest fixtures where the Team failed to qualify for ESL One Rio’s Europe minor followed by losses against Heretics and Copenhagen Flames.
