Team Falcons swept BetBoom Team 2-0 in a battle for first place on Monday during Group Stage 2 action at DreamLeague Season 22.

The teams entered the day as the only two unbeaten teams remaining in Group Stage 2. Falcons won the first map in 42 minutes on green before tying things up with a 36-minute win on red. Oliver “skiter” Lepko of Slovakia averaged a 12.5-0.5-7.0 kills-deaths-assists ratio to lead the victors.

Team Falcons has yet to lose a map through four days of the stage.

Group Stage 2 features one round robin of the top eight teams to advance, and matches are best-of-three. The playoffs are a four-team, double-elimination bracket. The grand final will be a best-of-five match.
