It’ll mark their second clash with the current lineups, and barring any surprises, the Falcons should extend their head-to-head record to 2-0.

Team Falcons have reached much higher highs this season; however, they’ve not shown much during the group stage and got humiliated by MOUZ.

Their ceiling is still unquestionable, but there are arguments to be made that the Falcons do not deserve to be 1.10 favourites against GamerLegion.

Team Falcons are rightly priced as favourites, but are overrated
GamerLegion can be deadly
This is Falcons' game to lose

Team Falcons and GamerLegion met just once with their current lineups.

Team Falcons Form

Team Falcons have gone from being a failed super team to one of the best-performing Counter-Strike 2 squads in a matter of a few roster changes.

After three back-to-back S-Tier tournament grand finals, Team Falcons seem to be well on their way to another deep run, having posted promising results in Group B, with victories against NRG and HEROIC.

Despite the strong start, the Falcons could not make it past MOUZ, who bested them 2-0 in the Group B finals, but that is more indicative of MOUZ’s strength than anything else.

Performance stats-wise, m0NESY is the third-highest-rated player of the tournament with a 1.38 rating, and as a unit, the Falcons are ranked seventh at 1.04.

The massive discrepancy is a result of subpar showings from NiKo, TeSeS, and Magisk, who are all below 1.00.

GamerLegion Form

GamerLegion have made their third S-Tier tournament quarterfinal of the season by placing third in Group A with wins against 3DMAX, FURIA, and G2 Esports.

They were not as effective against the tournament favourites, Team Vitality, but even in that loss, GamerLegion combined 19 rounds (9-13, 10-13).

Over the 2025 Counter-Strike 2 season, GL have been showing some signs of life, but they’ve consistently fallen apart when faced with tougher opponents. This is expected to continue in Dallas.

But even though GamerLegion have not been excellent during the group stage, the same can be said for Team Falcons, who seem to’ve slowed down a bit.

Verdict

Team Falcons v GamerLegion

This is Team Falcons’ game to lose. They bested GamerLegion once before, and according to the latest betting odds, they should do it again.

However, at 1.10, the Falcons seem way overrated. As good as they have proven to be, Team Falcons had to rely heavily on m0NESY to make it this far at IEM Dallas 2025, which is concerning.

And while there is a world where Falcons wake up and run over GamerLegion on Friday, I like my chances with the underdogs to take one map.
