Team Falcons claim BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 tournament trophy

Team Falcons are rapidly establishing themselves as the team to beat.

BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 marked only the second LAN tournament for the Team Falcons. The roster was put together towards the end of 2023, and after a first LAN appearance in Malaysia that ended with just a top 6 placement, the MENA representatives went on a truly dominant path.

In January this year, Falcons won the regional qualifiers for three tournaments. BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 was just their first pit stop. One where they made it to the grand finals via upper bracket series and then proceeded to a clean 3:0 sweep over Team Liquid to claim the trophy and the $400,000 lion’s share of the one million dollars prize pool.

After watching Team Liquid making a full lower bracket run to join them in the grand finals, Falcons came prepared with fast paced strategies revolving around a Gyrocopter carry and Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf’s signature hero, Mars. At the same time, Liquid were hell-bent on their idea of turning the tides with a Tidehunter.

They ran an Enigma in game one, which they lost despite building a decent gold lead in the laning stage. Moving forward, Liquid swapped Enigma with Tide and had a very back and forth game two, but a few mistakes, including forgetting a Refresher Shard in the Roshan pit and proceeding to high ground push without it, led to a disastrous outcome.

While Liquid insisted with the Tide pick, Falcons ran a Gyrocopter in all three games of the series that brought them the first trophy of the year.
