again, a long one so beware, TL;DR right below
also, i know no one asked but i'm bored so fuck the haters.
TL;DR
Falcons has some cracked aimers but aim is not all. They are unable to
adapt to their opponents if their initial gameplan doesn't work - not to
mention the gameplan itself is often poor. and for the love of god stop
with the freaky comps if you clearly have nothing special planned for them.
Falcons coming into this tournament, had no real expectations from the
valorant fans it seems like. as winners of the MENA region they were pretty
much expected to go out quickly.
Falcons vs Angry Titans
First we went to haven, Falcons map, where it seemed like most rounds
came down to crazy solo plays. it was also like AT didn't really have a
plan going into it.
utimately Falcons had no issues with securing the map getting themselves
a comfy 13-5 victory with the help of Alvar's and Outlaw's regular
multikills.
on Bind althought the scoreline was close, in-game it seemed very one
sided for the most part.
After a slow start Angry titans started playing better and better as
Bipo, initially dying after each tp, started to get a ton of value
from his yoru wich falcons failed to adapt to. Also whenever their
initial plans would fail they would get lost in the round veeery quickly.
and with a 8-13 scoreline the map was over as Falcons showed that their
midrounding and general adaptation to the opponent might be an issue.
Breeze... breeze oh breeze... Falcons pulled out a jett+reyna is all i
have to say. fix your comp or ban the map pls.
Overall while looking sharp aim-wise Falcons couldn't match their
opponents gameplan nor could they adapt well enough to counter it.
FUT vs Falcons
we go onto ascent picked by... Falcons? yup, that's right! our pals from
MENA tried challenging Turkey on their homeground... 13-4 for FUT, not much
to say here.
now on Bind, FUT's map pick, Falcons had a savior called Spy - but his
heroics were not enough as it still ended in a 13-6 win for FUT. Also
they picked neon for seemingly no reason, what's with the comps???
simply outclassed on every level is all i can say, there were no redeeming
qualities for them here.
player thoughts
Alvar: a very good player, aim-wise at least.
Outlaw: a solid player with good awareness and util
Spy: had one crazy good map, the rest was pretty meh. maybe his
haven vs AT was fine as well?
Fr4nky: didn't show anything special.
moh: had a few good rounds but overall not much to say here.
