GamerLegion give Falcons a scare
After map one of the GamerLegion vs. Falcons Quarter-Final at IEM Dallas, all signs pointed to the match hurtling towards its likely conclusion. It seemed inevitable that Falcons would coast to victory, although map two didn’t quite go to plan. GamerLegion were able to strike back, albeit on a close map that saw NiKo largely disappear.
Coming into map three, you’d forgive Falcons for feeling the nerves. After all, they were heavy favorites in this one, and anything less than a win for an adoring crowd at IEM Dallas would be rough, to say the least. No worries. They lived up to all expectations, seeing out a dominant map three to lock in their Semi-Finals berth. Now, they’ll face off against Vitality and their 28-strong win streak if they’re to have any hope of winning the tournament.
On the other side of the bracket, MOUZ will face The MongolZ, after the latter took down Aurora in a far more comfortable 2:0 series.
