Titan had beaten Falcons 3–1 in the upper bracket final on 11 October and looked set to do it again. The turn came in game 3, a 10:56 win, the shortest of the series. Falcons then took the longest game, 18:07, and closed out the next two in about 14 minutes each.
The drafts
- Falcons played Esmeralda in all four of their wins, and Aulus in games 1, 2 and 4 — the same hero Team Liquid PH drafted in every game of their sweep of ONIC the same night.
- Carmilla was picked in five of the six games, by one side or the other.
- Zhuxin changed hands: Falcons played her in games 1 and 2, then Titan took her in games 3 and 4 while Falcons moved to Kimmy.
What it means
Falcons' squad of MuMu, Xeno, Cuffin, Saano and Trolll, with Koba on the bench, goes to M8 as MENA's champion. Their sister team, Team Falcons PH, is also through, so the organisation will have two teams at M8. Titan's path runs through the Wildcard, where ten teams play for three Main Stage places.
