Team Falcons, despite the recent addition of Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev, faced a challenging match against GamerLegion at the PW Shanghai Major 2024 RMR. The elimination showdown concluded with GamerLegion emerging victorious with a score of 2:1, showcasing dominance on Vertigo (6:13) and Mirage (7:13), while Team Falcons managed to secure Nuke (13:7).
Although s1mple had a relatively quiet performance in the initial maps, he showcased his exceptional skills on Mirage, demonstrating his prowess as an AWPer by securing 23 kills and executing crucial plays to keep the game competitive.
S1mple, known for his remarkable consistency, has participated in every Major event since his tenure with Team Liquid in 2016, with the exception of the previous event in Copenhagen, during which he took a brief hiatus.
Struggling to find their synergy following s1mple's inclusion, Falcons endured a challenging period, suffering consecutive losses in seven matches before entering the RMR competition. Despite a close defeat against FaZe Clan, Falcons faltered further against SAW, ultimately leading to their elimination from the RMR.
The Perfect Worlds Shanghai Major 2024 European RMR A is scheduled to take place from November 17 to 20, with the top seven teams qualifying for the main event. Notable teams such as NAVI, Cloud9, Vitality, and FaZe Clan have already secured their positions through earlier qualifications.
