In my opinion, the match between the Falcons and Mouz was a close one. Both teams won their respective maps with a score of 13-7, so the match naturally went to the decider map, Nuke. The Falcons got off to a 10-2 start and effectively took control of the match. By winning the final map 13-10, the Falcons secured their spot in the finals. The newly joined academy player xelex delivered a strong performance. We can say that Spinx and Xertion’s poor performances played a significant role in the team’s loss. Karrigan wasn’t expected to contribute much in terms of scoring anyway, as the team already has enough players capable of scoring.

That series should've been a walk in the park for Falcons, but Mouz unexpectedly put up a good fight until that final map. Tomorrow's grand final will probably be a sweep at the minimum since they already rolled them 2-0 in the last meeting and I don't see Legacy keeping up with this firepower from Falcons.

After browsing the schedule for CS2, I had no idea that this would be the final big tournament before the Cologne Major, and it's crazy to think this will be their first trophy after countless tournaments, unless Legacy pulls one of the funniest things on the final.

Hmm... So, according to Blitz, all this talk about TO's and orgs leaving Dota is fake news?




Interesting.

I think faith_bian is still a damn good player. I think everyone in the Vici gaming squad are all still very good players. The team is just garbage. They don't seem to mesh well together. It's very weird. Their decision making is so bad during games. I hope they get their shit together until TI.


n0tail was the one who created that double TI winning OG. It was with HIS ideals how teammates should interact with each other. All the positivity, beliefs and being able to inspire everyone around him to help him rebuild the squad. For me, it's the biggest display of leadership i've ever seen in the game. Leading through inspiration, unlike Kuroky, who led with an iron fist, where only his opinions and beliefs mattered. The TI9 True Sight is a good demonstration of that. While n0tail listened and asked for his teammates inputs during drafts, kuroky was more of a dictatorship during drafts, to the point to belittle w33's opinions at times. And let's not forget the "just play like Ceb" to Mind_Control lol.

Legacy actually pulled it off and came out on top in the final after losing the first map. If Team Falcons can't even win this one, then I don't know when they'll ever get their next trophy to break the second-place curse.

I'm starting to think they're better off bringing Kyxsan back because this isn't a good sign for what's to come.



Good to know they're not stepping away, and it's just PV's manager piling up on the bad news that's been happening recently to fan the flames.

Mouz managed to secure a comfortable victory against MIBR in the third-place play-off. It was a straightforward match for Mouz, who didn’t face any real challenges on either map. Every member of the Mouz squad performed well. MIBR, on the other hand, simply couldn’t get anything going. Had Mouz managed to beat the Falcons, they might well have lifted the trophy. Another opportunity has slipped away for Mouz.

What a result from the team most thought would of been battered by the new lineup of the Falcons since Karrigan joined their squad.
Didn't have a chance to watch this grand finals and even missed to see what chances the bookies gave Legacy to win the tournament.
But congratulations on another team from Brazil on making it hard for the big names of CS2 always winning these tournament titles so far in the year.

Their Dota squad losing is understandable because the playoffs will always push certain teams to another level, but their CS2 squad being this consistent with the disappointment is just unreal. It's like they brought it upon themselves and I won't be surprised if another tier two team stuns them in the major next week.

Weird crossover, but I think it'll probably come true because it's a no-brainer to sign their roster despite shitting the bed in DreamLeague.

Some very questionable decisions from Valve.

Only 1 slot for South America, 1 slot for North America, when there's only 1 competitive team. They merged Eastern and Western Europe, why not do the same for Americas?

SEA qualifier is gonna be an absolute bloodbath, REKONIX, OG, GLYPH, Execration, Nemesis, and 23savage+Nikko stack. Damn!

And China qualifier having 2 slots, when XG is already invited.. well, since TI is gonna be in China, it seems they want 3 teams representing the region, but from a fairness standpoint, doesn't make sense.

Parivision not getting a direct invite is very questionable. Spirit is understandable. Europe Qualifier is another bloodbath, but it has 4 slots at least. Both should easily qualify.
