Team Falcons faced a tough loss against SAW during the third round of the Swiss stage at the CS2 PW Shanghai Major 2024 RMR. The match was a best-of-one series which conclusively ended with a score of 5-13 in favor of SAW.
None of the players on Falcons managed to achieve a positive performance in this match. Particularly, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev struggled with a 7-14 Kill-Death ratio and 65 Average Damage per Round (ADR). Despite s1mple's lack of experience with the map Anubis due to a year-long hiatus, the team surprisingly chose it for the second match at the RMR. This game marked only the fourth time s1mple played on Anubis within the CS2 competitive scene.
With this defeat, Falcons find themselves on the verge of elimination. Their next challenge will be against another team with a similar 1-2 match record on November 19. Further details regarding their opponent and match schedule will be disclosed at a later time.
