Blacklist Fails to Enter First Major as Talon Wins

Blacklist International fails to make history as they lose against Talon Esports in their Lima Major tiebreaker match in DPC SEA 2023.

Although Blacklist International started strong on DPC SEA 2023 Division I, they failed to capitalize efficiently. In the last moments of the tournament, they were out of Lima Major’s qualification. They lost their crucial tiebreaker against Talon Esports.

With this result, Blacklist International finished the current Tour I in fourth place.

It became apparent from the first minutes of the match that it was going to be a classic SEA brawl. Both Blacklist and Talon have their own idea to brawl from the very first minutes, with Talon drawing the first blood of the game.

Talon managed to translate their first-minute lead into a sizeable lead going into midgame. They went on to defeat Blacklist in the first game of the match.

The second game of the match went almost exactly the same as the first game, with Talon dominating the early game. Blacklist International’s insistence on letting Lina go to Talon became a fatal mistake as 23savage dominated the game with the hero.

Talon proceeded to choke Blacklist out of the game, winning the Major qualification from them.

The result had Blacklist International sliding down from a comfortable third position to fourth. They were originally ahead of both Talon and Team SMG, needing a win against the second-placed team, Geek Slate.

However, their defeat against Geek Slate made them undergo the tiebreaker against Talon, leading to a complete defeat on the tiebreaker.
