[Beatrice]

Following one of the most unforgettable days in Major playoff history, Saturday's Semifinals left two teams standing in pursuit of a Major Championship.

After losing the opening map of their Playoffs, FURIA have been unbeaten, rallying back against 9z Team to win 2-1 in the Quarterfinals and taking down Aurora Gaming 2-0 in the Semifinals to reach the Grand Finals for the first time in the organization's history.

Team Falcons took down the world's #1 team, Team Vitality, 2-1 in the Quarterfinals. A day later, they punched their ticket to the Grand Finals by defeating Team Spirit 2-1 in dramatic fashion, needing Overtime in the third map. This is Team Falcons first Major Championship appearance.

Coverage of the best of five Grand Finals between FURIA and Team Falcons begins with the opening ceremony at 16:45 CEST (10:45AM EDT). Don't miss a moment!

And with the Major coming to a close, team and player stickers are still available, with 50% of tournament item sales being shared with the tournament organizer, teams, and players.

Good luck to both teams!
