Map 1: Train; Picked: ENCE; Winner: Falcons
Falcons got off to a poor start but recovered as we progressed into the map. Train being a relatively new map, both teams showed cracks in their tactics, which resulted in unpolished gameplay for either team. Led by NiKo and TeSeS, Falcons managed to squeeze in a narrow lead. ENCE were able to rally into an early lead, but Falcons pushed the game to overtime. ENCE failed to win a single round in OT as Falcon breezed past them to win the map with a 16-12 scoreline.
Map 2: Dust 2; Picked: Falcons; Winner: Falcons
A stellar start for the Falcons saw them go 5-0 before ENCE won their first round. gla1ve and co. quickly got back to their foot on the defense after leveling the score as the Falcons edged out a narrow lead heading into the second half of the second map. gla1ve called a stellar T-side as the Falcons fell on the backfoot which they managed to recover later in the half taking the game to overtime for the second time in the series. Despite winning the first round in OT, the Falcons got back on the board to win four in a row to secure the victory in OT.
