They finally did it.

Following the RMR disaster, Falcons have announced the benching of Snappi, dupreeh, and Maden, alongside the decision not to extend s1mple’s loan.

"Missing the Shanghai Major has been an incredibly disappointing and heartbreaking setback for us (…) We are now dedicating the time and effort needed to rebuild our roster for 2025”, the statement reads.

The decision to rebuild around Magisk and the subsequent moves aren’t shocking, but they raise an important question: what about zonic?

He was entrusted with full control to shape the team to his vision, yet he has profoundly failed to deliver. Our FACEIT 5-stack has more chemistry and cohesion than this team, and ultimately, that also falls on the coach's shoulders.

Here’s the TL;DR of the TL;DR: Falcons benched SunPayus, one of their best players, right before the most important tournament of the season, to bring in s1mple - who hadn’t been playing consistently for almost a year - only to bomb out of the RMR with a 1-3 score, leading to an inevitable rebuild in which s1mple is not included.

You really can’t make this up.
