Current Team and Players Form

Falcons

They are in good shape, and the only teams they can struggle against are the top world teams. They lost to a MOUZ with a score of 0-2 at the group stage of IEM Dallas 2025, and it was ‘TeSeS’ and ‘Magisk’ who couldn’t find their game at all, and they ended up having a negative score. Even in a match when two of your teammates couldn’t find themselves on a map, ‘m0NESY’, being in incredible shape, was able to lead their team and made it a close score on the second map, together with the help of his star duo ‘NiKo’ and ‘kyxsan’. 

If both ‘TeSeS’ and ‘Magisk’ can find themselves back into the game by the break time after the group stage and before the playoff stage matches, they could try to make another Grand Final shot here.

GamerLegion

They have to play this tournament with a stand-in player as ‘sl3nd’ wasn’t able to get a visa to join his team. ‘acoR’ is the one substituting their main player and ‘acoR’ is not some random player as he was playing for GamerLegion previously and known to be a good AWP player. They did pretty well for the caliber of their team, and considering having a stand-in at the group stage, they even made it close in a match against Vitality. It was a tough match for ‘acoR’ to play against such an elite-level team, but the rest of the GamerLegion players were looking in good form—especially ‘REZ,’ who leads the scoreboards for his team in most matches.

REZ seems hyped about the playoffs

Match Prediction

The last time, Falcons completely demolished GamerLegion with no chance, and that was even before GamerLegion had a standing to play for them, so now they have an even greater advantage. We expect the Falcons to win this match.

Can GamerLegion surprise Falcons while playing with a stand-in, or will it be Falcons to dominate over GamerLegion once again? We will have to see it this Friday at 23:15 CET!
