The final scores were 3–2, 3–1, 3–1, and 3–0 in Falcons’ favor. Spacestation tried to stay competitive in the match, but Falcons controlled the series within each map. Their pressure through midfield restricted Spacestation’s attacks, while disciplined rotations prevented the North American team from creating possession near the Falcons net.
The result completed a playoff run that included consecutive wins against two of the tournament’s strongest teams: Falcons defeated Twisted Minds 4–2 in the quarterfinals before eliminating Karmine Corp 4–0 in the semifinals.
Rw9 earns MVP honors
Saleh “Rw9” Bakhashwin was named tournament MVP and received an additional 25,000 dollars. He provided control across the field rather than relying only on scoring.
His challenges disrupted Spacestation’s build-up, while his recoveries allowed Falcons to maintain pressure without leaving large gaps behind the play.
