Heroic have experienced this dynamic frequently. But team captain cadiaN is unbothered, as he has his eyes set on the grand prize.<\/p>
CadiaN has really seen it all in his decade-long professional CS:GO<\/em> career. He\u2019s been at the bottom, the top, and everywhere in between. Now, he is a BLAST Paris Major semifinalist following an impressive 2-1 victory over FaZe Clan<\/a>.<\/p>

Their quarterfinal against FaZe went to a third map, Mirage, which they comfortably won 16\u20136 to advance. This was all achieved while facing one notable obstacle. The Paris crowd was visibly favoring FaZe, creating an almost home atmosphere for Heroic’s popular international foes.<\/p>
