Malr1ne: I would rather finish 3rd or 4th than 2nd. The 3rd is best, because you stay until the last day, but don’t stop at the 2nd - one step away from victory. ATF: I'm grateful for second place. I don't understand why everyone says they don't want to occupy it. I appreciate it, let me play on the last day, in the grand final. Whether we are crushed or whether we are close to victory does not matter. The hardest thing is only when you were the reason for the defeat in the grand final.

Team Falcons became the tournament vice-champion six times. The team took second place in Elite League Season 1, PGL Wallachia 2024 Season 2, FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025, BLAST Slam III, Riyadh Masters 2025 and BLAST Slam IV. The roster also became the champion of many events, including The International 2025.
