Kyle “Kyletzy” Sayson led the Falcons in the first game after outmatching Karl “Karltzy” Nepomuceno and his lancelot, and Kiel “Oheb” Soriano as they took control and secured the victory in 24 minutes.

Team Liquid then bounced back as Oheb and his Wanwan secured the Lord and eventually the game to tie things up.

In the deciding game, Rowgien “Owgwen’ Unigi’s Kaja secured a decisive pick to Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya and his Lapu-Lapu that gave way for the Falcons to complete the series win and pick up a playoff berth.

The Falcons will play the play-in stage at the Cuneta Astrodome on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

Meanwhile, Team Liquid missed out on an upper-bracket spot even after dominating AP.Bren, 2-0, on Sunday.
