The first match of the lower grid of Group D at ESL Pro League Season 20 is over, where the winner moves on and the loser falls to the last chance grid. Falcons and ATOX played in this match.
For the ATOX tag, this is the first Tier 1 tournament they are playing in and so far things are going poorly. The team lost the first match, taking 18 rounds in two maps, which is not a bad result for this team.
Falcons Series
Falcons now have a six game losing streak and this time they could knock it off with a win. The team has had bad results lately, the reason for that could be the rumors about NiKo coming in and replacing one of the players.
Also their coach's reaction to the game is too aggressive. During yesterday's game on Dust 2, zonic reacted very strongly to their actions, which can't help but affect the players' play.
Match details
The first map was Ancient, ATOX's choice, where they didn't manage to show a decent game, losing the half with a score of 4-8, but in the second half they showed even worse, taking only 1 round, losing the map with a score of 13-5.
The second map was Anubis, the Falcons' choice, where they again managed to show a great game winning 9 rounds for the weaker side, providing a comfortable gap to their attack. But after a pistol round win from Falcons, ATOX had very little chance to win and ended up losing 13-4 and going to the last chance net.
The title of the best player of the match went to the eternally young Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, who at 31 years old closes games with a rating of 7.2, which is very cool for his age.
Next Matches
Falcons next match will be played against Virtus Pro, who lost to Liquid in the semifinals of the top set in a parallel match. In turn, ATOX will play with the loser of the RED Canids and ENCE pairing, where the loser will already leave the tournament.x
