3DMAX have been eliminated from IEM Kraków 2026 after losing to Falcons, ending the French side’s run in joint-ninth place. Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin, the 18-year-old rifler for Falcons, led the way. He opened the series with a blistering performance on Anubis, stringing together repeated multi-kills, and then kept Falcons competitive in the first half on Dust2 long. Falcons’ CT-side performance on Dust2 closed out the map and handed 3DMAX the defeat.
Before this loss, 3DMAX had beaten FaZe in their opening match of Stage 2 but then dropped one-sided games to Vitality and Falcons. The defeat to Falcons sends the French team out of the event at the joint-ninth finish listed on the IEM Kraków bracket.
One more lower-bracket series stands between Falcons and a spot in the TAURON Arena. Falcons are scheduled to face MOUZ on 03/02/2026 at 19:00 local time, a rematch of a recent rivalry: the two clubs met five times across the past season, with Falcons winning four of those encounters but losing the most recent meeting in the StarLadder Budapest Major group stage.
The match timeline in the Kraków schedule places the Falcons-MOUZ meeting a few hours after each team’s lower-bracket semi-final wins.
