The series unfolded without surprises: the favorites maintained full control throughout, never allowing ECSTATIC to mount a serious challenge on either Inferno or Mirage. For Falcons, it was a cold, pragmatic start to the tournament. For ECSTATIC, a harsh reminder of the gap in class at the highest level.<\/p>\n<h3>Road to the matchup \u2014 favorite versus underdog<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">ECSTATIC \u2014 a tough draw and no room for error<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ECSTATIC entered the match under difficult circumstances. The team lacked consistent results against top-tier opposition in recent months, and drawing Falcons in the opening round left virtually no room for experimentation. Inferno, their map pick, looked like an attempt to rely on structure and discipline \u2014 but against an opponent of this caliber, it proved insufficient.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Falcons \u2014 control and a clear individual edge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Falcons approached the series as one of the tournament\u2019s main favorites. Despite some mixed results in recent matches, the strength of the roster and individual level of the players left little doubt about their status. The objective was simple: advance without unnecessary risk \u2014 which is exactly what Falcons did.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/liquid-vs-nip-blast-bounty-2026-stage-1\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54964267072_87eb95babd_k.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Liquid edge past Ninjas in Pyjamas in a three-map series at BLAST Bounty 2026\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/liquid-vs-nip-blast-bounty-2026-stage-1\">Liquid edge past Ninjas in Pyjamas in a three-map series at BLAST Bounty 2026<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/liquid-vs-nip-blast-bounty-2026-stage-1\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 16<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Inferno \u2014 13:2.

Falcons seized initiative from the opening rounds, won opening duels with ease, and immediately shattered their opponent\u2019s economy. ECSTATIC were given almost no room to maneuver: executes were read, clutches failed to materialize, and the scoreline ran away quickly. A 13:2 result reflected Falcons\u2019 complete dominance.<\/p>\n<h3>Mirage \u2014 13:10. ECSTATIC show resistance, but not enough<\/h3>\n<p>On Mirage, Falcons\u2019 map pick, ECSTATIC looked more composed. The team managed to apply pressure, worked timings more effectively, and occasionally punished overly aggressive decisions. Even in a more competitive setting, however, Falcons remained the calmer side. A handful of key rounds in the middle stages of the map allowed them to retain control and close Mirage 13:10, avoiding the need for a decider.<\/p>\n<h3>Player of the match \u2014 Ren\u00e9 \u201cTeSeS\u201d Madsen<\/h3>\n<div class=\"article__media y-red-dif-4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/clips.twitch.tv\/embed?clip=WildPoisedEndiveDxCat-k899EIM_TjVef7K5&amp;parent=community.skin.club\" width=\"620\" height=\"378\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The Danish rifler was the driving force behind Falcons\u2019 victory:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">1.65 rating<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">94.6 ADR<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">78.9% KAST<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">+7.56% swing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>TeSeS consistently won crucial duels, set the tempo on both maps, and was a major factor in Falcons\u2019 dominance \u2014 particularly on Inferno.<\/p>\n<h3>Teamplay breakdown \u2014 when the gap in class is clear<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-336273\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Anlelele_at_Elisa_Nordic_Championship_2025.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Anlelele_at_Elisa_Nordic_Championship_2025.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Anlelele_at_Elisa_Nordic_Championship_2025-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Anlelele_at_Elisa_Nordic_Championship_2025-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Falcons secured the series through discipline, individual firepower, and complete control of the pace.
