Unfortunately, Team Falcons left the tournament after being knocked out by Team Secret in the lower bracket of Honoro of Kings Championship 2024. The MENA representatives had a horrible knockout stage performance, getting two straight 0-3 losses before being eliminated from the tournament.
Team Falcons couldn't go further even though they had an advantage from Team Secret's penalty in the first game of their series. The Malaysian team weren't allowed to ban at all in the first game due to their plea to change their head coach with their manager for the series. The Honor of Kings Championship Committee bestowed the punishment before the start of the day.
Team Secret's performance on the gorge wasn't affected much, even when they couldn't ban any of Team Falcons' heroes, as they had wiped their opponent in under 9 minutes. In the second and third games, however, the team from MENA put out a much more formidable defence against Team Secret but to no avail, as the apparent gap of knowledge between the two teams was too big. Team Secret will face either Blacklist International or Dominator Esports in the next lower bracket round at the Honor of Kings Championship 2024.
The other two matches that happened in the tournament on day two were between BOOM Esports and Fearless Esports HK, and between Black Shrew Esports and Nova Esports. Fearless Esports HK successfully defeated the Filipino representative with a 3-1 score in a battle of discipline between the two teams.
The highlights of the day, however, dropped to the series between Black Shrew Esports and Nova Esports in the Battle of Malaysian Representatives. The two teams fought to their end in an instant classic match that ended with the win for Black Shrew Esports, despite narrowly. The Nova boys were up 2-1 against the runner-up of Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason before getting turned 3-2 by them.
On the last day of knockouts in MGP Space, Dominator Esports will meet Blacklist International to battle for a place in the upper bracket final. At the same time, a rematch of the group stage between Black Shrew Esports and Fearless Esports HK will happen on the other side of the bracket. One team will be eliminated from the tournament as BOOM Esports will meet Team Secret in the lower bracket.
