Team Falcons have burst onto the professional Dota 2 scene in the past year, signing a roster that consists of notable players. The first tournament for the new squad was supposed to be ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 MENA Open Qualifier #1, but the squad qualified automatically.

Azure Ray uniforms
Azure Ray were the real revelation of the previous year. The team broke into the season with a top-4 finish in the Chinese DPC league and managed to qualify for the Dota 2 World Championship thanks to the Chinese Regional Qualification. Even at that stage the team looked decent and outplayed quite a few big names on the scene in China, in particular Azure Ray did not miss out on The Internationational 2023 Xtreme Gaming. At the World Championship itself, the team made it to the top of the grid, with LGD Gaming and Gaimin Gladiators being their kryptonite. Fourth place at the debut The International for the new team can be considered a great achievement. And as a reward the players earned $182,733. Before the start of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, where ESL invited Chinese team, Azure Ray updated their roster. Xm, Xxs and XinQ have joined the team. Winning ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 provided the team with $300,000 in prize money. Despite this, the management of the organisation has carried out re-stuppings in the squad. Thus, Ori, Failth_bian and fy joined the team. At the beginning of the current season Azure Ray have already managed to qualify for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 and DreamLeague Season 22.
Earlier Azure Ray took part in ESL One Birmingham 2024: China Closed Qualifier. The start of the qualifier was not the most successful. A 1-2 defeat to Team Bright made Azure Ray's path a little longer, and the team also lost the right to make mistakes. On the way to the grand finals, AR beat teams like Go Along, Team Aster and won a rematch against Team Bright in a full bo3 series. In the lower grid final, Azure Ray defeated LGD Gaming by two maps to a row and made it to the decisive qualification match. The 2:3 defeat deprived fy and his teammates of the opportunity to go to England for the LAN-tournament.
The first major tournament in 2024 for Azure Ray was BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024. The group stage ended with a 2-2-1 result for AR, which allowed them to continue on to the play-offs. In the quarter-finals of the top flight, Azure Ray defeated Team Liquid 2-1 to advance to the semi-finals.
Statistics of Azure Ray's recent results:
- A 2-1 win over Team Liquid
- A 2-0 win over BetBoom Team
- A 1-1 draw with Team Spirit
- 0:2 defeat to Xtreme Gaming
- A 1-1 draw with nouns
Match history Team Falcons - Azure Ray

Predicted result of the match Team Falcons - Azure Ray
Both teams show a good game at the regional level, and at the current championship they perform in a similar way. Let's bet on the total of cards more than 2.5.
Team Falcons is a new MENA region team with an extremely promising roster. The Arab organisation took Skiter, ATF, Malrine, Cr1t and Sneyknig under its wing. Without much difficulty they passed through the qualifications for ESL One Kuala Lumpur, passing both open and closed qualifications without defeat. Only Quest Esports managed to compete with them in the decisive match for a slot, but they couldn't stop them. But unfortunately at the tournament they reached only 5th place, but considering that it was only the first major tournament for the team, it was a pretty good result. Qualifications for BB Dacha Dubai are going well for the organisation. The only slot goes to them. In the same manner are the qualifications for DreamLeague Season 22. And the qualifications for ESL One Birmingham 2024 are also unchanged. Everywhere they take the only slot.
Azure Ray is the 3rd ranked team in the world. Phenomenal in my eyes performance managed to show the organisation at The International 2023, managing to rise in the standings up to 4th place. For some reason the roster undergoes changes and the old guys Somnus(2), chalice(3) and fy(4) leave the team. In their place come Xm, Xxs and XinQ respectively. The line-up lasts for a month and the newly arrived trio leaves for Xtreme Gaming to reunite with Ame. Fy returns to the lineup, as well as Ori and Faith_bian. They played well in qualifying for BB Dacha Dubai 2024 and DreamLeague Season 22, taking 1st place in both. But like their current opponents they failed to secure a slot at the ESL One Birmingham 2024 qualifiers, losing in the finals to G2.iG
Falcons have already beaten the first place in Group B, namely XG, who in turn in the group defeated AR 2 0. I think it would be logical to assume that Falcons will take the meeting.
I am a prognosticator, I live only this. I spend all my time on it. No other interests.
I've been doing it for a long time and I've achieved some success in it. It's up to everyone to believe me or not. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
