Lynn Vision show resilience to get on the board at the Cologne Major 2026
Lynn Vision have put up their first win on the board at the ongoing IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 1 after edging out HEROIC 13-11 in a tightly fought encounter in their 0-1 bracket game. Lynn Vision's win sees them move into the 1-1 bracket while dropping HEROIC to the brink of elimination in the 0-2 bracket.
xfl0ud's Dualies helped HEROIC start Dust2 with the CT pistol and they went 5-0 up before the Deagle of Starry with a saved AWP on z4KR got Lynn Vision on the board. The Chinese team managed to put three in a row before multi-kill rounds from Chr1zN saw HEROIC take a four-round lead at the half.
Crisp shooting from C4LLM3SU3 saw him pick up a big triple kill from Car to shut down a short execute as Lynn Vision picked up a much needed pistol. After picking up the conversion against the eco, Lynn Vision brought it to a two round game but it was HEROIC hitting double digits instantly once they brought out the guns. Multi-kills from Westmelon in back to back rounds saw Lynn Vision stay alive on their CT side and B site holds and clutches meant that it was Lynn Vision hitting match point first. EmiliaQAQ continued to be a thorn in HEROIC's side which saw Lynn Vision steal a 13-11 win to put up their first win on the board at the Cologne Major.
