Falcons Beat Lynn Vision at the Start of BLAST Open Porto 2026

Team Falcons began their BLAST Open Porto 2026 campaign with a victory over Lynn Vision. The team of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov won a tense series 2:1 - 13:4 on Inferno, 10:13 on Ancient, and 13:9 on Dust2.

The first map was Inferno, picked by Lynn Vision. However, the Chinese team failed to put up much of a fight: Falcons won nine rounds in the first half and quickly closed out the map after the side switch - 13:4.

On Ancient, Lynn Vision responded much more confidently. The Chinese side ended the first half with a 10:2 lead and, despite Falcons’ attempt to come back, closed the map 13:10. One of the brightest players remained m0NESY, who recorded two aces, but that was not enough to win the map.

The decisive Dust2 also started badly for Falcons. Lynn Vision took a 9:3 lead, but after the side switch, the situation changed completely. Falcons did not give up a single CT-side round, won ten in a row, and finished the map 13:9.

The best player of the series was m0NESY. The AWPer recorded 58 kills and 30 deaths, posted 92.9 ADR, and finished the three maps with a 1.64 rating. TeSeS was Falcons’ second-highest-rated player with a 1.49 rating.
