Falcons demolish Imperial and move closer to the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 playoffs
In another match of Stage 3 at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Falcons showcased total dominance over Imperial, securing one of the most convincing victories of the round. The outcome was largely shaped during the map veto phase, and once the teams moved to Mirage, the European squad left their opponents without any chance. This matchup was crucial for both sides in the race for the playoffs, where only eight teams will advance.
The course of the match was largely determined as early as the veto stage, where each team’s strategic priorities became clear:
- Falcons removed Overpass
- Falcons removed Nuke
- Imperial removed Ancient
- Imperial removed Inferno
- Imperial removed Dust2
- Falcons removed Train
- Mirage was left over
Falcons started on the CT side, where they completely dominated the first half, closing it with a crushing 11–1 lead. The second half didn’t last long — Imperial failed to mount any comeback and ultimately lost 1–13.
