Falcons had an important victory in the opening match of the Blast Rivals Spring 2025 group stage, confidently defeated Faze with a score of 2: 0 (13: 6 on Dust2 map, 13:10 at Ancient). The team has just participated in the final of IEM Melbourne, which is showing a stable performance and officially won tickets to the playoff round. Meanwhile, FaZe continued to decline - after this defeat, they were forced to play the life of death with Flyquest.

Faze lost right on the selection map

Despite the first map, Dust2 countered Faze. Falcons quickly imposed high -speed gameplay, piercing the opponent's defense and ending the first half with an overwhelming advantage without having many difficulties. Faze's flipping efforts were immediately extinguished - Falcons counterattacked strongly and ended the match with M0nesy's high -class personal performance, once again confirming that he was one of the most dangerous snipers in the world.

Ancient - Clutch phases change the situation

On the Ancient map, Falcons continued to start excitedly, but this time Faze had stabilized the game. After a horizontal first half, Faze also temporarily takes 10-8 thanks to the important handling of Karrigan and Elige. However, only one round changed all: Falcons won the Force Buy phase, then a 2v5 clutch situation from Teses and M0nesy. This processing seemed to have knocked down the spirit of Faze, when they could not win any more round.

Cold Falcons, Faze helplessly

Although not perfect, Falcons still show bravery and calm in decisive moments. They will enter the direct ticket to the semi -finals with Spirit. Meanwhile, FaZe fell into a difficult position: to raise the hope of championship, they were forced to defeat Flyquest in the losing branch match.

Star of the match:

MVP: Ilya "M0nesy" Osipov - Stable in all round, leading the ADR (91), rating 7.4.

EVP: Jonathan "Elige" Jablonowski - Rating 6.5.
