Filipino-coached Myanmar team, Falcon Esports heads to the M4 World Championship
The grand finale of the M4 World Championship: Myanmar Qualifiers saw Falcon Esports taking the top spot after dealing an intense beatdown to Fenix Esports. The squad is led by a Filipino and former ECHO coach Dale Vitug.
The first game was an even matchup between the two finalists up until Fenix Esports caught Pyae "Silent" Sone's Karrie and Hein Min "yellowflash" Khant's Uranus at the 18-minute mark. This unfortunate mispositioning cost Falcon Esports the first game of the series.
However, Fenix Esports was not able to keep its momentum going as the sharp-taloned Falcons were able to bounce back in the subsequent matches to close the series with a 3-1 victory.
"This victory proves that Falcon Esports can represent Myanmar's strength in MLBB esports. We are hopeful that they can conquer the world stage and strive for higher glory," stated Ray Ng, Esports Ecosystem Lead, MOONTON Games.
