Team Falcons finally have their LAN win.
Team Falcons completed an incredible comeback, as they won the ALGS Open in just game six. They had to scrap and fight their way to the finals, playing a huge 18 games yesterday after falling into the elimination bracket at the event. They secured the win with an incredibly rare back to back wins in the finals lobby.
This win also returned Team Falcons to the pinnacle of Apex Legends esports, after a couple of shaky results in Year 4. This is the teams first LAN win since joining Team Falcons, finally living up to their super team tag.
Elsewhere, it was a familiar heartbreak for Alliance. The perennial runners up once again finished narrowly short, continuing the theme of the first team to Match Point being unable to close out the victory.

The ALGS Open format contained a LOT of Apex Legends matches, and Team Falcons experienced exactly how much Apex you can have to play. They fell into the Elimination Bracket, which resulted in a brutal run of games yesterday.
As a result of both the number of games played and their strong performance, Falcons sat at the top of the kill charts for the event. Both Hal and Zer0 seem to be loving the flexibility introduced by the Legend Ban system and are excelling on a range of different Legends.
ImperialHal and Zer0 were one and two for kills across the event, with Hal racking up a massive 135 kills and Zer0 grabbing 110.

However, for this team, anything less than victory is considered defeat and they will no doubt feel a great sense of relief at finally lifting a LAN trophy together.
