They are domineering forces in the Dota 2 esports scene. Team Falcons are reaching their dreams with the dynasty they built throughout this year’s tournament. Their 2024 has been successful after they won their seventh championship in DreamLeague Season 24. Besides, this win marks their third major victory in the said series to make it remarkable. With these, it asks whether Team Falcon is indeed the mightiest team in Dota 2 after all.
A Commanding Grand Finals Performance
Team Falcons is a force to be wrecked on in the grand finals stage of DreamLeague Season 24. The team displayed exceptional skill and teamwork, particularly their core trio, who’ve been outstanding throughout the tournament. Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf, Oliver “skiter” Lepko, and Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak played excellently against their counters.
A 37-minute victory marked the beginning of the grand final series between Team Falcon and BetBoom. ATF’s Bristleback dominated the match with its 10-kill performance with the help of support, skiter’s Alchemist, and Malr1ne’s playmaking. Indeed, the fans are in high spirits after the formidable opener match.
BetBoom bites back in game two of the series to secure 99 total kills in the thrilling 42-minute battle. However, the Falcons proved themselves to be on top as they quickly regained control of the series. They answered BetBoom with two consecutive dominant victories to take the championship win in the tournament. Malr1ne’s Dragon Knight performed stellar in game three as he went undefeated with 11 kills and 17 assists.
With this, Team Falcons claimed the #1 position, being the most dominant force in the professional Dota 2 esports scene. This championship serves as their third consecutive DreamLeague title, a monumental moment in history.
From Early Tournament Struggles to Championship Glory
It’s far from a walk in the park on the Falcons’ journey on top. Despite their glorious record in Group Stage 1 at 12-2, the team faced setbacks in Group Stage 2. The team struggled to find a stable footing as they barely qualified in the playoffs with their fourth seed finish. They posted a 10-8 record after losses to their rival teams such as BetBoom, Team Spirit, and PARIVISION. It is definitely not an ideal way to enter the playoff stages, as their third championship is at stake.
Yet the Falcons’ proved their back-to-back championship isn’t meaningless with their perfect lower bracket run. They eliminated teams coming down from the upper bracket, neatly tucking them away from the tournament. They swept teams that defeated them on Group Stage 2 from PARIVISION to Team Spirit.
Eventually, they had their redemption with BetBoom in the grand finals of the DreamLeague series. The team fought hard to put their name once again in the game’s history.
Building a Dynasty in 2024
No other team is as exceptional as Team Falcon’s in the current competitive scene in Dota 2. Only this year, Falcon’s already had their seventh tournament win after the DreamLeague Season 24. Given how they are performing right now, it is certain that they are the team to beat in professional Dota 2. Although they bowed out early in The International 2024 (TI13), they remained consistent in the rest of their competitions.
The post-TI13 shuffle period did not affect them as their roster was kept intact, building a stronger team synergy. Besides the mechanical skill, they had the advantage of strategic depth and the ability to counter opponents’ comfort picks. It showed during their grand finals match, where they neutralized BetBoom’s signature heroes.
The dynasty continues to be at work as they won a direct invitation to ESL One Bangkok 2024. It’ll be a chance for the Falcon to end the year in celebration of a possible eight championships this year. Currently, Team Falcon is at #1 of the global rankings amidst competitive teams in Dota 2 esports.
Conclusion
As the year 2024 closes to a close, Team Falcon continues their domineering performances in the rest of the tournaments. They proved to be greatly exceptional after winning DreamLeague Season 24, which marked two monumental records in their history. One, it serves as their third consecutive championship in the DreamLeague series. Second, it is their seventh championship win within the 2024 competitive calendar. Definitely, it’ll be a tough ride to compete against Team Falcon with the way they’re playing right now.
