We were all treated to an hour long NiKo interview on Wednesday. Or you lot were at least.

Truthfully, we don’t know how much of this was public knowledge prior to the interview going live, but we already knew most of what was said. So, just in case it’s new to you all, let’s break it down.

He discussed his hometown (boring) and then moved onto his transfer to Falcons, covering both the U-turn and the eventual move at the end of 2024. The U-turn is as expected, it was due to the lack of security in terms of Falcons’ ability to play tier one events in 2024, however, he then said that he was always going to leave - mostly down to the fact that G2 didn’t fight to keep him.

We’re sure we’ve heard that line from an ex-girlfriend or two…

Anyway, G2 Manager Peca then put out a “two-sides-to-every-story” type tweet, but Peca, mate, let’s not pretend like G2 didn’t want NiKo to leave. You wanted a team with less egos on it. Which, to be fair to you, you did get in the end. They just have you 12th in VRS instead of somewhere in the top five like you used to be when you had egos.

Okay, maybe that part was insider knowledge. Oops.

He then spoke about convincing m0NESY to join and said that the Baby GOAT was originally unsure about joining due to the tier-one event issue. That was until he realised he still had to listen to Snax and TaZ, and quickly got the f-ck out of there.

kyousuke was the next topic, with NiKo saying that he would only give up his spots for the young Russian and donk: “I don’t think many other players are better than me in those roles.”

Yeah, we won’t argue there.

Finally, NiKo spoke about Falcons’ lack of changes and their hopes for 2026. He even then kept up the lie that Falcons are happy with this team and didn’t try to make changes, and said that “This is definitely the team we will keep for a long time.”

C’mon, mate. We all know that’s a lie. TeSeS is done as soon as he can’t farm the farmers.

He is a good company man, though. Everyone can see Falcons’ role balance problems as clear as day, but he fully backed himself and TeSeS in their roles since kyousuke joined.

Which, we won’t criticise NiKo about his performances, but TeSeS? The bloke in Falcons’ system is like a polar bear in Arlington, Texas. But at least the polar bear is still deadly.

We can’t wait to see how he explains what he really meant in his first interview post-TeSeS benching.
