During the downtime and player shuffle period of Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), known as off-season and “rostermania,” Team Falcons from Saudi Arabia and whispers about the players they were pursuing after benching three members gained traction. As it turns out, our reported rumors were accurate. The team has officially announced that Niko, TeSeS, Kyxsan, and Degster have joined their ranks.

This team boasts an impressive lineup, to put it mildly. It includes the legendary trio of René “TeSeS” Madsen, Abdul “degster” Gasanov, and Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski. Additionally, we have Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, a former G2 Esports player who is renowned for his exceptional rifling skills and widely regarded as one of the greatest CS:GO players ever.

Team Falcons announced their exciting news on social media, tagged as “Time to Ignite the World,” and looking at their lineup, they certainly seem poised to win trophies by 2025. Here’s a glimpse of the announcement below, complete with an impressive video showcasing none other than a falcon and NiKo!

It is time to set the World on Fire.

Welcome, @G2NiKo 🦅💚

To round things off, let me introduce Danish gaming icon Emil “Magisk” Reif, who’s the lone survivor from the previous Team Falcons lineup. Magisk boasts a remarkable four victories at CS Major Championships and has collected numerous trophies during Astralis’ illustrious era in CS:GO.

The complete Team Falcons CS2 roster is:

  • Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
  • Emil “Magisk” Reif
  • Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
  • René “TeSeS” Madsen
  • Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov
  • Danny “zonic” Sørensen (Coach)

Among many teams worldwide, I believe none could potentially outperform this squad if they manage to mesh effectively, given that Major-winning coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen is in command. The debut of Team Falcons’ revamped roster will take place at BLAST Bounty Season 1, kicking off on January 14, 2025.
