Team Falcons is an esports organisation from Saudi Arabia. It entered the Dota 2 competition in November 2023.
Team Falcons, formerly Falcons Esports, is a multidisciplinary esports organisation based in Saudi Arabia. It was founded by Msdossary in 2017 and has since expanded to include several esports rosters. In 2020, the organisation fielded a Dota 2 team in Saudi tournaments such as the Saudi eLeagues 2020, but the organisation had bigger ambitions. Believed to be funded by the Saudi royal family, it re-entered Dota 2 in November 2023, signing skiter, Malr1ne, ATF, Cr1t-, Sneyking, and manager AfrOmoush. Team Falcons repeated this approach of signing star players to form a team.

Team Falcons achievements
At ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, the team first demonstrated its strength by going 7-3 in the group stages, but failed to win the series in the playoffs, finishing in 5th-6th place - still a great result for a young team. However, at the beginning of the year, the team firmly established itself as the strongest in the world. Aui_2000 joined the team as a coach just in time for three consecutive qualifiers for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, DreamLeague Season 22 and ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they cemented their dominance by taking first place in all three tournaments, with all Grand Finals ending with a 3-0 score. Second place in Elite League Season 1 and third place in PGL Wallachia Season 1 were relative setbacks for Team Falcons, but the team returned to form with a convincing 3-0 Grand Final victory over Gaimin Gladiators in DreamLeague Season 23. Their results earned them first place in the ESL Pro Tour, which gave them a direct invitation to Riyadh Masters 2024 and The International 2024 as one of the favourites.
