Team Falcons became a laughingstock in the match against Azure Ray at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023

In the first match of the upper bracket playoffs at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, Team Falcons embarrassingly lost to Azure Ray, essentially handing the Chinese team the victory with their absurd tactics. Ammar "ATF" al-Assaf's team believed that Roshan was more important to them than defending their own Throne.

The corresponding moment with the failed strategy was published on the Dota Seconds YouTube channel.

In the footage, it can be seen that Azure Ray calmly stormed the base and took down Team Falcons towers while they tried to secure Roshan. In the end, this mistake cost Team Falcons the victory in the match, and now they are heading to the lower bracket of the tournament.

The absurdity of the situation was also mocked by commentator Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov in his Telegram, who laughed at Marl1ne's team's ability to set priorities in a clash.

Recall that earlier, Team Falcons were dubbed the new favorites of the tournament and predicted that they had every chance of becoming the champions of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.
