Azbayar "?Senzu?" Munkhbold, who has been known to struggle on stage, led the way with 20 kills.

vs. There could be no better start than the T side of Anubis to shake off the playoff jitters, but The MongolZ tallied just three rounds, and all but Garidmagnai "?bLitz?" Byambasuren have lower than 50 ADR.

René "?TeSeS?" Madsen hopped on the broadcast desk with Jacob "?Pimp?" Winneche, Janko "?YNk?" Paunovi? and Tres "?stunna?" Saranthus after Falcons' win to give his thoughts.
On pressure of playing for Falcons:It was difficult in the beginning, but when m0NESY entered, it lifted something off my shoulders a little bit, and I can feel that.
Falcons are a team that really just want to win trophies after trophies, and you can feel that they have higher expectations compared to my previous team, where you would get longer leash to perform, and have a lot more time. It's something new for me, and I like it.
On Falcons' level:As you say, it's hard to just expect to go and win trophies just because you get m0NESY. There's all these small connections in the game, you have to get used to him and he has to get used to us, so we cannot perform on the highest level right now, but it will come in the future.
We have really high expectations and beliefs in this team. Before the Major, we really believe we can go and lift trophies, and also the Major. So yeah, [m0NESY is] a big upgrade, we already showed that we are competitive, and we're just gonna see how far we can go.
vs. Not much to say about that series, Falcons didn't have to get out of second gear to take down a lacklustre GamerLegion.
To be fair to GamerLegion, most of their lineup was playing their first-ever arena game, and that fact was very apparent when watching the match.

GamerLegion won their CT pistol convincingly, but since guns came up, Falcons have been the better side.
GamerLegion are now just playing with saved guns, so Falcons are likely to take the lead.

After a very up-tempo start, GamerLegion started to slow things down with some default rounds, and it was bearing fruit.
René "?TeSeS?" Madsen popped up with a big round, however, to keep Falcons' lead healthy and grant them a guaranteed winning half.

Link copied Last comment 25/0409:00 By king_dempz GamerLegion opt for Train pick against Falconsvs. A wrench thrown into the veto by GamerLegion, who go for a Train pick.
It's not a pick GamerLegion usually utilize, in fact they have never picked it, but they defeated Falcons on it in their quarter-final bout at PGL Bucharest mere weeks ago.
The fans are filling up the arena as GamerLegion prepare to take on Falcons in the opening game of the IEM Melbourne playoffs.
Later in the day, The MongolZ will be facing off against Liquid.
Who do you think will be winning today's games?
