Team Falcons Dominate BetBoom Team at ESL One Birmingham
Team Falcons adds another trophy to their list of accolades as they take down BetBoom Team in a clean sweep at the ESL One Birmingham grand finals.
This is Team Falcons' third major tournament victory of the year, ahead of BetBoom Dacha Dubai and DreamLeague Season 22. The team's success at Birmingham has secured them an invite to Riyadh Masters 2024, the year's biggest tournament.
Team Falcons' tri-tank drafts were too much for BetBoom Team
Falcons have an interesting approach to drafting, often focusing on picking durable cores and relying on their supports to make up for any lack of damage.
The first game saw Underlord and Razor picked for Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf and Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak respectively, with Oliver "skiter" Lepko playing the carry Weaver. Yet it was Jingjun "Sneyking" Wu who dealt the most damage for his team on Venomancer.
The trend of tanky cores and damage-dealing supports proved to be the theme for the series, as the Sneyking and Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen focused on bringing enemies down while their cores soaked up all the damage.
The impact of Kurtis "Aui_2000" Ling on the team is clear, he is one of the best coaches in the world at figuring out how to maximize a team's survivability and outlasting their enemies. He did it for Tundra Esports at The International 11 by abusing Wraith Pact and is now doing it with Falcons by picking durable cores.
Team Falcons' success at ESL One Birmingham brings their yearly prize-winning to USD $1,150,000. Their 12280 EPT points also ensure their invite to Riyadh Masters 2024 in July.
