HEROIC Academy vs Rune Eaters - Game Masters Season 2 Series 2

HEROIC Academy's recent results tell a brutal story. Four losses in their last five matches, including a defeat to DONSTU just one day ago, point to a team with serious confidence issues. Their 17% winrate last month is not a blip. It is a collapse, and walking into this match as the heavier favorite on paper does not change that reality.

Rune Eaters have won three straight and are building real momentum. Their map pool is reliable where it matters most. Close to 59% winrates on both Dust2 and Mirage across deep sample sizes give them consistent, bankable picks. HEROIC Academy's one strong map is Ancient, but Rune Eaters will simply avoid it, and the rest of the pool belongs to the Eaters.

The veto shapes this entire match. HEROIC Academy loses their best weapon the moment Ancient is banned away, and their Nuke winrate of 25% makes that map a liability rather than a trump card. Rune Eaters know where they want to play, and they have the form to execute. This one should not be close.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

Rune Eaters to win 1.50

HEROIC Academy to win 2.40
