Team Falcons revealed the reason for their defeat on the first map in most matches

Ammar 'ATF' Al-Assaf stated that Team Falcons often lose the first map because the team tends to treat the initial game as warm-up. Additionally, ATF acknowledges certain communication issues among the current lineup members.

The corresponding statement was made by the Team Falcons offlaner in a post-match interview during the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 championship broadcast on Twitch.

"I think our communication left much to be desired. I don't know what happens to us every time we play the first map. We behave as if it's a warm-up game.

Other than that, yes, we had a really big communication problem. It seemed like we had all the opportunities to win, but we didn't even make an attempt. Nobody said anything, everyone was silent as if they didn't know what to do on the map."

Team Falcons lost the first map in their last two matches against Azure Ray and BetBoom Team, but it didn't stop the team from snatching victory. In the first match of the tournament playoffs against Xtreme Gaming, the team won 2-0. During the group stage of the championship, Team Falcons played two drawn games, won two battles, and suffered one defeat.

It is worth reminding that earlier, Team Spirit streamer Ilya "Illidan" Pivtsev named his least favorite hero in Dota 2.
