Mirage — 13:9. PARIVISION set the tone
Mirage opened the series and immediately challenged the narrative. Falcons found openings early, but PARIVISION responded with disciplined mid control and efficient late-round trading. Rather than overcommitting, they patiently absorbed Falcons’ aggression and punished mistakes. As the map progressed, Falcons struggled to regain initiative. PARIVISION closed Mirage 13:9, striking first and planting early doubts in the Falcons camp.
Dust2 — 13:11. Composure under pressure
Dust2 proved tighter, with Falcons pushing harder to reset the series. The map featured constant back-and-forth rounds, with Falcons leaning on individual plays to create momentum. PARIVISION, however, remained composed. Their CT setups denied consistent long control, while their T side relied on measured pacing and clean executes. In the final stretch, PARIVISION won the critical rounds that Falcons needed most, closing Dust2 13:11 and moving within touching distance of the title.
Inferno — 13:11. The door closes
Inferno became the decisive blow. Falcons attempted to rally, but the series pattern repeated: promising starts followed by PARIVISION tightening the screws. Utility usage, spacing, and late-round decision-making consistently favored PARIVISION. Falcons’ frustration became visible as rounds slipped away. PARIVISION capitalized on every opening, calmly closing Inferno 13:11 to complete a stunning clean sweep in the grand final.
