Team Falcons arrive at BLAST Slam VII as one of Dota 2's hottest squads, and OG have done very little recently to suggest they can slow them down.
Falcons enter this match on the back of an eight-match winning streak and a perfect record last month. They have not just been beating teams, they have been dismantling them. Back-to-back 2-0 victories over rank 3 Team Liquid and rank 7 Tundra confirm this is a squad operating at peak level. Their recent form table tells a similar story, with wins over Tundra and GamerLegion bookending a competitive loss to PARIVISION that barely registers as a red flag.
OG's situation is the polar opposite. A 43% winrate over the last six months is damning on its own, but the losses to REKONIX (rank 24) and Ivory (rank 45) are genuinely alarming. These are results that expose a team struggling for consistency at every level, not just against elite opposition. With no active winstreak and $176,500 in recent earnings placing them 12th, OG are trending in the wrong direction at the worst possible time.
The one caveat worth noting is OG's draw with Falcons back in March, which shows they can compete when conditions are right. That result also points to Falcons being capable of dropping a map if they lose focus. Still, a team with the momentum, quality, and confidence Falcons currently possess should not be troubled here.
