HEROIC at the PGL Singapore Major 2026
HEROIC won Stake Pulse Beat II in September and finished third at the next edition in October, and they start Stage 1 as its third seed.
HEROIC start the Singapore Major in Stage 1, which runs November 24 to 27. They are #18 in Valve's Regional Standings (VRS), which makes them the third seed of the stage, and their invite is confirmed. The same five players appear in their October lineups and on the November 2 invite list. HEROIC won a LAN title in September and finished third at the follow-up event in October.

The model plays the event 20,000 times with Valve's Swiss pairing rules; each map win chance comes only from VRS points (Valve's expected-score formula, softened), so it knows nothing about form, maps or roster news. It is not a betting tip. Calculated November 8, 2026. Play it out yourself in the Major simulator.
Form going into Singapore
- October 2026, DraculaN Season 7 (Bucharest): 7th-8th. HEROIC beat HYPERSPIRIT 2-0, lost 1-2 to SINNERS in the upper-bracket quarterfinal, beat BBL 2-0 and were knocked out 1-2 by FaZe. They played three Bo3 series on October 21.
- October 2026, Stake Pulse Beat III (Stockholm): 3rd. HEROIC beat Envy 2-1 and BC.Game 2-0 in the group, then fnatic 2-0 in the quarterfinal (Cache 13-10, Dust2 13-3). Ninjas in Pyjamas beat them 2-1 in the semifinal, with NIP coming from behind on the Mirage decider, and HEROIC then beat 100 Thieves 2-1 in the third-place match on October 17.
- September 2026, Stake Pulse Beat II (Stockholm): champions. HEROIC beat 100 Thieves 2-1 in the final on September 26 after losing Dust2, saving two championship points on Ancient before winning it 19-17 in double overtime, then taking Inferno 13-4.
Strengths
- Results at this level. A title and a third place at the two Stake Pulse Beat events included two playoff wins over 100 Thieves, one over fnatic and a 2-0 group win over BC.Game. 100 Thieves and BC.Game are both in Stage 1 in Singapore.
- Comebacks under pressure. In the Stake Pulse Beat II final they came back from a map down and won Ancient 19-17 in overtime before taking Inferno 13-4.
- Players who step up in finals. In the Stake Pulse Beat II final Brollan (1.34 rating) and MartinezSa (1.18) were the two highest-rated players on the server.
Weaknesses
- Losses to the teams above them. HEROIC lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas in Stockholm and to FaZe in Bucharest. Both are also in Stage 1, and Ninjas in Pyjamas are seeded first.
- Few results against top-tier teams. Stake Pulse Beat III and DraculaN Season 7 were both B-tier events, and at the IEM Cologne Major 2026 they finished 28th.
- An early exit in the last event. At DraculaN Season 7 they lost two of their four series and finished 7th-8th.
Key player
Brollan. He was the best player of the Stake Pulse Beat II final, with a 1.34 rating, 51-43 K-D and 73.6 ADR, as HEROIC came back from a map down against 100 Thieves. For a deep Stage 1 run HEROIC need that level from him in the Bo3s.
Pick'Em verdict
HEROIC are an advance pick for Stage 1, and our model Pick'Em puts them there too. The model gives them about a 68% chance to advance and only about 5% to go 0-3, so do not use them as a 0-3 pick. A 3-0 run (about 20%) is possible, but the model's 3-0 picks are Ninjas in Pyjamas, who beat HEROIC in October, and PARIVISION. You can try other outcomes in the Major simulator, and the full field is on the Singapore Major hub.
