ESL One Birmingham 2024 is the highlight Dota 2 event of April 2024 and the first LAN tournament organized by ESL this year.

As one of the best-performing Dota 2 teams of 2024, Team Falcons has already won two tournaments and finished as runners-up of Elite League.

Going forward where the stakes will be higher, Team Falcons will be glad to have Malr1ne joining the side once again following the consecutive draws it faced against BetBoom and Shopify Rebellion on the first day.


On 23rd April 2024, Malr1ne took to Telegram and announced that he had arrived in Birmingham for the tournament.

Through the video message he conveyed, “Hello, everyone. Some things you have heard before so it's not new to anyone. I am going to add my voice and say that I am in. See you tomorrow.

Team Falcons which usually has a record of going undefeated in the group stages managed to hold on to its record as it went against BetBoom Team in the first series of the tournament.

Sumail’s aggressive style which is similar to Malr1ne’s complimented the over gameplay for Team Falcons, who managed to win its first game of the tournament. However, BetBoom was able to bounce back in the second game and evened out the series.

Moving on to the second match of the day, Team Falcons took on Shopify Rebellion which ended quite similar to their previous series, where Falcons won the first game but conceded the second game.


According to Malr1ne’s message, the Dota 2 community might witness Malr1ne in action today at ESL One Birmingham 2024 as Team Falcons is scheduled to go against G2 x iG and Team Liquid.
