After exploring different choices all through the low season, Falcons is now concentrating on three HEROIC gamers.
The Saudi-backed group is “locked in discussions” with HEROIC over the signing of Macedonian IGL Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski, Danish rifler René “TeSeS” Madsen, and the AWPer Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov, based on a joint report by HLTV.org and the CS2 insider Guillaume “neL” Rathier.
In keeping with their findings, the talks between Falcons and HEROIC are in an “superior stage”, however the Saudi group nonetheless wants to succeed in an settlement with kyxsan, TeSeS, and degster.
Falcons close-in on Heroic trio (kyxsan, degster, TeSeS). Right here is my report.Whereas Falcons had been eagerly awaited on the switch market, their failures to recruit Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov and
Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo significantly slowed down their mission. Organizations had been both…

This transfer marks an entire U-turn in Falcons’ technique throughout the low season. NeL beforehand reported that the Saudis didn’t signal Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov and Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo to pair with the incoming arrival of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač.
Days after, neL reported that Falcons was exploring the signings of kids Dmytro “jambo” Semera and Michel “ewjerkz” Pinto. However now, plainly the Saudis have determined to pursue the HEROIC trio.
Ought to this transfer come to fruition, it might be the tip of HEROIC as we all know it. The Danish group can also be reportedly dropping the Israeli star Man “NertZ” Iluz to Group Liquid. The Danish rifler Rasmus “sjuush” Beck and the pinnacle coach Eetu “sAw” Saha can be the one two remaining in HEROIC for 2025.
Falcons would vastly profit from signing the HEROIC gamers
Moreover not having to construct a crew completely from scratch as they’d safe three gamers who’re already enjoying collectively, Falcons would inherit HEROIC’s Valve Rating factors.
This is a crucial issue for 2025 as all event organizers should use the Valve Rating to find out invitations. With out getting a made trio, Falcons would wish to attend tier-two occasions all through 2025 to earn sufficient factors to justify an invitation to a tier-one occasion.
On prime of that, Falcons wouldn’t must power Emil “Magisk” Reif to grow to be an IGL as they’d have kyxsan.
Advantages apart, although, this CS2 low season exhibits that Falcons doesn’t have a set technique. First, they tried to construct a superteam with NiKo, m0NESY, and Jimpphat, then focused two children within the type of ewjerkz and jambo.
If one other semester goes to waste, the pinnacle coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen will definitely be underneath a lot criticism.
That’s all for now. Keep tuned to esports.gg for extra CS2 information.
