Danish team Heroic will likely start playing for Chinese cybersport organization FunPlus Phoenix soon. While this information has yet to be officially confirmed, it has already been reported by several cybersport portals. FunPlus Phoenix is planning to participate in the upcoming FLASHPOINT event, which is set to kick off in Los Angeles on March 13.
It is still unclear what will happen to Heroic's place in the ESL Pro League event – it was previously speculated that the team will compete there in the same group as Natus Vincere, Fnatic and Complexity Gaming.
Flashpoint – is a new league, which was formed relatively recently and is unique in that its partners and organizers are not third-party companies, but the participating teams. This should make FunPlus Phoenix the eighth in the list of participants along with MIBR, Cloud9, MAD Lions and others. Three more spots on that list remain vacant for now.
FunPlus Phoenix made its first appearance of 2019 by winning the League of Legends World Championship. It also includes lineups for PUBG and Fortnite. Now the Chinese cybersports organization expects to succeed in CS:GO as well.
