Team Falcons had entered Elite League as strong contenders, reaching the grand finals by dominating both, group stages and playoffs, and were initially considered clear favorites by the Dota 2 community and many analysts.

However, Xtreme Gaming's decisive turnaround in the final match proved formidable, showcasing the level of competition at the tournament.

Team Falcons was able to take the first game of the series and it looked like it was on the verge of securing its third consecutive tournament win.

However, things soon fell apart after Xtreme Gaming bounced back in the second game and pressed on to secure three back-to-back wins, ultimately claiming the title.

Earlier, Malr1ne had pointed out that he might miss out on the upcoming ESL One Birmingham 2024 due to delay in procuring his visa.

He revealed that he was still in the process of getting his visa ready for the United Kingdom and had not heard from the officials regarding his status.

This comes at a pivotal moment for Team Falcons as it aims to finish in the top eight standing to receive a direct invite for the upcoming and much anticipated Riyadh Masters at the Esports World Cup 2024.
