Karrigan Reflects on Falcons' Map Strategy After BLAST Open Porto

During their group stage at the BLAST Open Porto, the Falcons displayed a mix of results, securing a playoff berth after a strong victory over Legacy. However, they faced challenges against Lynn Vision and ultimately lost to MOUZ, highlighting inconsistencies in their performance.

A notable aspect of the Falcons' strategy was their repeated selection of Ancient, a choice that karrigan acknowledged had not consistently yielded positive results. Despite this, he emphasized the importance of diversifying their map pool, stating, "We have played too much Dust2 and need to play other maps as well." He noted that this was their fifth time playing Nuke in the last 90 days, indicating a need for variety in their gameplay.

Karrigan expressed that the primary benefit of their group stage experience was the opportunity for practice and learning. He remarked, "We're still not there, but I think we start to see some things that work and some things that don't, and those things we need to fix during officials." He recognized the need for improvement, particularly with their Ancient pick, which had not been effective during the tournament.

Reflecting on their overall group stage performance, karrigan acknowledged the ups and downs, stating, "Not the best group stage, not the worst. We are through, and MOUZ played great the last two maps." He conveyed a sense of optimism, noting that the team is beginning to find their rhythm as they prepare for the upcoming matches in the arena. With a brief break before their next tournament, karrigan is hopeful that the additional practice will enhance their performance moving forward.
