The matchup had some extra spice, given the ongoing rivalry between NiKo and his former team G2. After G2 beat Falcons in their last encounter, many expected another tight series. But this time, the Falcons came prepared — especially for Mirage, G2’s map pick. Falcons kicked off with a 7-0 streak and never let go, taking Mirage 13-5.
They followed that up by comfortably winning Nuke (their own pick) 13-7. And then came Ancient, where they looked sharper than ever compared to their rocky semifinal against FaZe. The 3:0 sweep was not only dominant, it was unexpected — especially after their shaky semifinal performance.
Quote from the analysts during the desk segment:
"It felt like Falcons had one foot out of the tournament in the semis. But once they reached the final, something just clicked. This was the best we’ve seen them all year."
There’s still a big question floating around: Does this mean Falcons are now Tier-1 favorites? The short answer is — not yet. Yes, they redeemed themselves and shocked everyone with this win. But let’s be honest — the absence of heavyweights like Spirit and Vitality definitely played in their favor.
What could really shake things up, though, is the rumored transfer of m0NESY to Falcons. If that happens, and it clicks better than the NiKo move did at first, we might finally see Falcons consistently land in the top 5.
For now, they’ve got the PGL trophy, the bragging rights, and a whole lot of momentum. Let's see if they can ride that wave into the next big tournament — or if this was just a one-off miracle run.
