Map 1: Inferno; Pick: LEGACY; Winner: Falcons
A strong start for Falcons in Inferno saw the team rack up 6 rounds before LEGACY posted a round on the scoreboard. Rare mistakes from the individuals saw the Brazilian side win back-to-back rounds before the Falcons won 4 rounds in a row to close the half with a very strong lead of 10-2. Losing the pistol round, the Falcons lost momentum to an impressive retake from LEGACY, but the first gun round put them back on the board. Once back on the board, the Falcons closed the map in no time with a 13-4 win, asserting their dominance and firepower over the Brazilians.
Map 2: Ancient; Pick: Falcons: Winner: Falcons
Starting strong with a 2v1 clutch from Dumau, LEGACY started strong to take an early lead until Falcons hit the board with a half buy. The surprising recovery from the Brazilians made rounds scarce for the Falcons, as they only managed 4 by the end of the first half. Losing the pistol round sent the super team 4-10 behind before they started mounting their comeback, not only to level the scoreline but to hit series point before LEGACY, who was leading for the better part of the series, somehow pushed the game to overtime by stopping the Falcons’ comeback in the final round of regulation. One overtime failed to separate the teams before the 2nd one led to the Falcons pushing the match over the line to close out the series.
To be able to push Falcons to the extreme, LEGACY showcased their true potential in front of the world. Now they sit with a 1-1 scoreline and have everything they need to secure two more wins to reach the playoffs.
