The Saudi Arabian esports team Team Falcons scored an important victory over MOUZ in the match for third place at the prestigious international IEM Chengdu 2025 Counter-Strike 2 championship. The playoff ended with a score of 2:1 on the cards — the team confidently took Ancient (13:5), lost to Inferno (11:13) and she dominated the Mirage (13:6).
The results of the tournament brought Team Falcons not only an honorable third place, but also substantial prize money in the amount of 120 thousand dollars. For MOUZ, the fourth position in the tournament bracket is reduced to 90 thousand dollars of reward.
The IEM Chengdu 2025 esports tournament is taking place from November 3-9 in LAN format in China with a total prize pool of 300 thousand dollars. This CS2 championship is important for the HLTV world rankings, where the positions of professional gamers are reviewed every day.
The performance statistics of other teams also show the dynamics: B8, Fnatic, M80 and BetBoom Team have firmly held their positions thanks to their successes at recent competitions. At the same time TYLOO, Virtus.pro and other esports organizations have lost points in the HLTV rankings.
Experts note that the HLTV rating system is updated weekly, primarily taking into account the results of performances over the past two months. Achievements from the previous year affect positions, but according to the chart, progress decreases slightly — the system devalues points for past successes every month, reflecting the current form of esports teams in the Counter-Strike 2 discipline.
