Previous Encounter & Player Stats – Falcons vs. FURIA
Team Form & Key Players Ahead of the Semi-final
Falcons – Flying High with m0NESY Leading the Charge
Hungry for the trophy, the Falcons have been flying high in Chengdu. Their road to the semi-final saw them eliminate Team Spirit and Astralis, two strong opponents.
m0NESY is leading the charge for the Falcons, as he has been nothing short of spectacular. m0NESY is currently the highest-rated player at the tournament, with a rating of 1.59, a significant gap from second place, which is held by KSCERATO at a rating of 1.36, a margin that clearly demonstrates his dominant form. m0NESY consistency is what made him the driving force behind the Falcons success so far.
If m0NESY continues to perform at this level, and the rest of the roster keeps up their current form, Falcons could finally take the revenge they’ve been waiting for since FISSURE Playground 2.
FURIA – Veterans and a Prodigy on a Mission
On the other side of the server stands FURIA, a team combining veteran leadership with rising talent. KSCERATO and molodoy have been carrying the torch for the Brazilians, both sitting comfortably in the top three players of the tournament, just behind m0NESY.
Despite being the least experienced player on the team, molodoy has been remarkably consistent and confident under pressure. His energy and impact have been key to FURIA’s strong run. KSCERATO, one of the scene’s most reliable veterans, continues to deliver when it matters most.
While FalleN and yuriih haven’t yet reached their full potential in Chengdu, if they find their rhythm in this match, FURIA could become nearly unstoppable.
molodoy seems hyped up
Falcons vs FURIA – Semi-final Prediction
It’s hard to predict the match outcome between these two, but FURIA’s results have been much better throughout the year, and they know what it’s like to win on a big stage, having recently won the TP WC trophy. The experience between these two is about to be even, so it might come to the star players, m0NESY and molodoy, carrying their teams to victory. We believe this match is 60-40 in favor of FURIA, considering their match-up history.
Prediction: FURIA to win this match.
