Falcons qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference

The French squad will have a shot at making the ESL Pro League's group stage in its 17th season through the Conference stage.

Falcons beat 1WIN in the best-of-five ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe final to secure a spot at ESL Pro League 17's prelude, the Conference stage.

The Frenchmen did so through the playoffs' upper bracket, thus taking a map advantage into the grand final, which was sealed with a resounding 3-0 scoreline. The final series against Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov and company was a rematch of the upper bracket final, which was preceded by Falcons defeating Movistar Riders and SINNERS.

Kyojin topped the board in the grand final with a 1.42 rating

Falcons have therefore completed the event undefeated, also taking out Copenhagen Flames and AGO in the group stage, with Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda and Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss being the team's top producers throughout the Challenger League with 1.31 and 1.23 ratings, respectively.

The French team will therefore have another chance at making a splash in Pro League's Conference stage, which they just played after winning ESL National Championship France Spring, but to no avail as they were taken out in 7-8th place by their HEET countrymen who went on to qualify for the upcoming Pro League group stage above them.
