Game 1

After a stellar pass from Torment to Comm, V1 quickly took the lead in the first game of their series against Furia at the RLCS Fall Cup. Furia’s defense briefly stabilized, but a double tap from BeastMode extended V1’s lead. Furia received a small consolation prize in the form of a late game goal from Yan, but Version1 took a 2-1 victory in Game 1.

Game 2

The flawless double tap BeastMode scored in the first match set the tone for Game 2—the young prodigy scored the opening goal of the second match, and Version1 assumed a comfortable defensive posture on the back of this 1-0 lead. Furia mounted an impressive offensive campaign, but the crossbar had other plans in mind for V1’s opponents. After a series of painfully close misses from Furia and clean deflections from Comm and Torment, BeastMode scored his second goal of the game. Version1 took a commanding 2-0 victory in Game 2.

Game 3

Furia finally found their footing in the third match of the series with an early goal from Yan. However, Version1’s defense—with BeastMode leading the charge—held strong for the rest of regulation, and Furia narrowly secured a 1-0 victory in Game 3.

Game 4

Furia scored the opening goal in Game 4, with Yan earning his second opening goal of the series. Furia continued to apply pressure, with a second goal from Yan putting V1 two goals behind their opponents. Version1 rallied, however, with multiple demos from Comm opening up the pitch and allowing BeastMode and Torment to score a pair of goals that tied the match at 2-2. The calm and calculated play that defined the first three games in the series was left behind by both Furia and V1, replaced by a chaotic brawl of explosive offensive plays—together, the two teams scored 9 total goals before the end of regulation. In the end, Version1 came up short, and Furia claimed a 5-4 victory in Game 4.

Game 5

The intensity of Game 4 was, it seems, unsustainable for both teams—neither V1 nor Furia found success on offense in the first half. Version1’s trademark patient defense appeared impenetrable, but in the closing seconds of the match, Furia capitalized on a brief opening on V1’s side of the field and scored the game-winning goal.

Game 6

With Furia now only one game away from winning the series, BeastMode refused to entertain the thought of losing the series any longer—his first goal of the match, a delightfully mechanical flip reset, was followed up by two more over the course of the match. Although Furia did manage to land the ball in V1’s goal once, BeastMode’s display of dominance carried Version1 to a solid 3-1 victory in Game 6.

Game 7

Furia took the lead immediately in the final game of the series, but BeastMode replied for V1 to tie the match at 1-1. Furia were unwilling to compromise their defenses by pursuing risky offensive plays, and Version1 waited patiently for the perfect opportunity—with less than 15 seconds left, a beautiful shot from Comm landed cleanly in Furia’s goal, and Version1 claimed a match and series victory in the RLCS Fall Cup.
