Falcons rally past G2 to reach BLAST Rivals semifinals

G2 won the opening map, Dust2, 13-11. Guy “NertZ” Iluz and Matúš “MATYS” Šimko helped defend the B site during the first half, with NertZ also using the secondary AWP. He added a Deagle double during a force-buy round and another double in the final round of regulation to secure the win.

Falcons responded on Mirage with a 13-2 victory. René “TeSeS” Madsen led the team in kills, while Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov produced a triple kill as Falcons built an early lead.

TeSeS recorded a 1.49 rating on Anubis, where Falcons won the deciding map 13-8. m0NESY and Maksim “kyousuke” Lukin supported the team’s attack as Falcons secured a place in the semifinals.

“Dust2 was rough, I’m really happy with how we bounced back,” Nikola “NiKo” Kovač said in a post-match broadcast interview. “We lost seven map picks in a row, but we’re pretty good at winning the opponents’ map pick.”

Falcons are scheduled to play FURIA in the semifinal on Nov. 14 at 10:30. “They are playing very well at this moment, but we are firing up a little bit,” NiKo added.

TeSeS finished the series with 49 kills and a 1.36 rating. m0NESY had 41 kills and a 1.20 rating, while kyousuke recorded 46 kills and a 1.13 rating. NertZ led G2 with 40 kills and a 1.02 rating.
