Falcons confidently defeated Astralis 2:0 to start their ESL Pro League Season 22 campaign with a victory. NiKo’s team claimed both maps — Inferno (13:8) and Mirage (13:6) — showing stability and complete control after switching sides. The team’s leader, NiKo, stood out with a 1.75 rating, proving that Falcons are ready to fight for the tournament title.

Inferno (13:8 Falcons)

On their own map pick, Astralis initially held the advantage. Despite the narrow lead, they managed to win most of the rounds and closed the first half 7:5. However, after switching to the T side, Falcons launched an aggressive attack, taking six rounds in a row to lead 11:7. Despite Astralis’ efforts, they couldn’t regain momentum, and Falcons closed out the map 13:8.

Mirage (13:6 Falcons)

The first half of Mirage was evenly matched, with both teams trading rounds and ending 6:6. After switching sides, Falcons once again dominated completely — this time not conceding a single round to Astralis and finishing the map 13:6.

Match MVP

The best player of the match was NiKo, who posted an ADR of 102, a Swing of +8.25%, and a rating of 1.75. If he maintains this level of performance throughout the tournament, Falcons have every chance to contend for the championship.
