BetBoom banish Falcons to Last Chance Stage

Falcons' LAN debut with dupreeh is not going to plan.

BetBoom have sent Falcons crashing down to the Last Chance Stage at ESL Pro League thanks to a 2-0 victory, courtesy of reasonably comfortable showings on Overpass (13-9) and Nuke (13-8).

With this result, BetBoom will await the winner of G2 vs. M80 in the lower final, while Falcons will begin their Last Chance Stage run against the loser of that game.

Life has not been kind to Falcons' roster ever since it was brought together at the end of last year. A run to the semi-finals at IEM Katowice was a brief bright spot in an otherwise bleak timeline, as Falcons failed the PGL Major Copenhagen Europe RMR and BLAST Spring Showdown since that time.

Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen's debut was less than stellar, an early exit from the Esports World Cup open qualifier, and his LAN debut has not gone much better. The Dane himself is performing well individually, averaging a 1.16 rating at Pro League thus far, but the team looks no better than they did with Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas among their number.

A loss against The MongolZ was followed up with an unconvincing display in victory against TYLOO, and now Falcons have found themselves well beaten by BetBoom, who themselves are not considered world-beaters.

Kirill "⁠Magnojez⁠" Rodnov has been a revelation for BetBoom since joining and he continued his excellent form in this series, but Falcons offered very little individual prowess to match the 19-year-old. Falcons will be hoping that improves along with their shaky teamplay, which saw them lose multiple man-up scenarios throughout this series.
