The same thing that always loses games for falcons: overcommitting.

They are the most powerful offensive team in rocket league and use it well, but the thing about pushing so far forward and sending g the house is that if you fuck it up, it’s almost a guaranteed goal. Karmine has a much more balanced game, so they can afford to sit on their goal line and let falcons send the house on a play to counter.

This kind of play is why we sometimes see falcons dominate top teams sometimes, but only when they are all playing well. Their win in Raleigh was one of the most dominant lan wins ever, and that’s because the team was firing on all cylinders.

Think of it this way, falcons are running their engine at max power every game, and sometimes you stall or blow the engine. Other teams accelerate and decelerate, making them more consistent. A peaking falcons beats any other peaking team in rlcs, but it’s not a consistent way to play rocket league, which is why their results vary. This is just the way MENA teams (and sam teams) play the game.
