Falcons send Rare Atom home

The Chinese squad was unable to build on their day-one defeat of Virtus.pro.

Falcons' attempt to go from 0-2 to playoffs continues at PGL Bucharest after sweeping past Rare Atom in two maps (Inferno 13-6, Train 13-2).

There were early signs of frustration from outbound AWPer Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov as Rare Atom led 6-5 early on Inferno, but the Saudi organization steamrolled the rest of the match with ease.

Rare Atom impressed on day one against Virtus.pro in a 2-0 victory, but went winless in series against top ten teams FaZe, G2, and now Falcons to bring an end to a tough run in Romania.

The Chinese squad could only sport a shallow map pool at the tournament, looking far better on their map picks than on opposition choices Dust2 and Train.

A confidence boost for TeSeS

René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen is under the spotlight for Falcons after reports emerged suggesting he would be replaced by Maxim "⁠kyousuke⁠" Lukin in the summer break.

The Dane has a difficult few months to navigate, and motivation is a question playing for a team that has already removed him.

Media: Falcons set sights on kyousuke

But he does have a chance to impress future suitors in the shop window, and today's series was a chance for him to bounce back after a shocking start to the event.

He matched his frag count from the Inferno vs GamerLegion on the same map vs Rare Atom in just two rounds as he went on to end the series on a 1.49 rating.
