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!

The PatinaAI market index's median over the seven days after the post was 29.63 points against 30.00 over the seven days before: −1.2 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure, the drift this read has to beat. The post's own day is left out. A comparison with a date, not causation.
The item types and weapons the post names, in the order it names them. A word match, not a reading of the post.
How to read the number
The read compares the market index's median over the seven UTC days after the post with the seven days before it, the post's own day left out, and needs at least three published days on each side. The same measure taken on every day of the series is the drift a typical week shows; a read inside that drift is the market doing what it was doing. Neither is proof the post moved anything. The composite is on the market report, every basket under the indexes, and every update is on one list.
