GamerLegion take revenge for Astana in elimination match against FURIA

21-5-2025 23:01

A week after their last-place exit in Astana, GamerLegion are fighting for playoffs in Dallas.

PR's two crucial plays tipped the scales in GamerLegion's favor on the deciding Nuke

GamerLegion have defeated FURIA after a back-and-forth series, eliminating the Brazilian squad in 9th-12th place from IEM Dallas.

The European squad, which is playing at the tournament with Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand as a stand-in, has progressed to the Group A lower bracket final, where they will fight for playoffs against the winner of G2 vs. 3DMAX later on the same day.

The match against FURIA was GamerLegion's second encounter against Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's new-look squad, who won the previous to contribute to the European team's last-place elimination at PGL Astana.

This time around, FURIA changed up the strategy with a Train pick after they went 4-0 on the map in Astana, but the decision backfired against GamerLegion, who put together a solid offense to secure the opening map.

FURIA then rebounded on Mirage to break a five-map losing streak, but couldn't repeat their Nuke win from the previous series. Oldřich "⁠PR⁠" Nový came up clutch to change the course of the decider with an equalizing 1v2 clutch at the end of the first half and a quad-kill on ramp to turn the momentum in the second.

Tauson going from arguably being the weakest player in the roster to the best. Always nice to see people improving within a squad

Was impossible to be the weakest player in the team when Sl3nd was there

massive +1, teams like GL are the only teams that will be providing young supportive pieces to top tier teams, players like PR are cool, high-impactful star riflers, but no team is complete without their Xyp9x, KRIMZ, TACO, mezzi, etc, this is honestly one of the biggest downfalls of international mix teams, grabbing 4 hot prospects and an IGL sounds great, until 2 of them are in anchor/entry roles and all they have ever done is play star roles. Then their stats go down, it impacts them personally because thats all they care about, and there goes another promising career.

What are you fooling yourself about? He's already won 2 majors and several championships. Are you jealous of something? LOL

As I can see, Fallen is back LOL. Hope he retires before trashing this nice team.

It's funny to see a bunch of noobs talking nonsense. They don't even kill bots and they want to talk bad about a person who has achieved everything in CS.
