Underdogs NaVi Junior Topple Team Falcons in PGL Wallachia Season 4 Upset

A major upset unfolded in the final group stage match of PGL Wallachia Season 4 today (23/04), as the underdog NaVi Junior delivered a merciless 2-0 sweep against the fan-favorite Team Falcons this afternoon.

Before the match, both teams appeared evenly matched based on their previous games. NaVi Junior had suffered heavy losses early on against Aurora Gaming and BetBoom, while Falcons stumbled on the second day with defeats to Parivision and Tundra Esports.

Regardless, Falcons still drew attention due to their star-studded roster. But their fans quickly left disappointed as the team failed to counter NaVi Jr’s strategies and appeared disjointed throughout the series.

Game 1 showcased NaVi Jr’s ruthless playstyle, ending 31-19 after 40 minutes. The lethal duo of Taras “gotthejuice” Linnikov on Lifestealer and Artem “Niku” Bachkur on Monkey King dominated the late game, locking down key areas and leaving Falcons no room to recover.

In Game 2, Falcons fought back fiercely thanks to Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf’s aggressive Razor plays. Yet once again, gotthejuice and Niku secured critical late-game advantages, sealing the series victory with an 18-14 scoreline at the 39-minute mark.

This result secures NaVi Jr a spot in the playoffs, where they await their next opponent. For Falcons, this marks a devastating loss—the first time the team has failed to qualify for playoffs in a top-tier tournament.
