You get a Russian wonderkid, and you get a Russian kid, and you get a-

Okay, not really, but Falcons get two of them.

Yeah, that’s right, less than a week after a report dropped that Falcons will be signing m0NESY, another one came out that they’ll be signing kyousuke, too.

Well, we guess that Counter-Strike is fucked then.

If you’ll allow us to go the full Frank Lampard for a moment and be a little serious - we actually think this is a good thing. We know everyone is going to be busy wetting themselves over the Saudis and “waaah, more sportswashing!!!” - but just hear us out.

If we didn’t already lose G2 as a top team when NiKo left, the team is now dead and buried with m0NESY gone. Seriously, there’s nothing they can do to save themselves at this point.

And let’s be fair here, m0NESY alone probably isn’t enough to push Falcons all the way to the top given how inconsistent TeSeS can be and how poor Magisk is in the year of our lord 2025.

kyousuke, on the other hand, will supposedly be a needle mover for whichever team he ends up joining. Falcons have always promised a lot, and so far failed to deliver on any of it, and the signings of both m0NESY and kyousuke should change all of that.

We’d say*“will”* but come on, this is Falcons we’re talking about.

Okay, Lampard mode again - It really is about time that Falcons actually do something. 9th-12th place exits really isn’t enough for an organisation that claimed to be in it to win it all, and this team should finally allow them to at least attempt to do that. There is still Vitality to contend with, after all.

Ultimately, this move is good for Counter-Strike. Love them or hate them, you can’t help but feel the loss of G2, but this move should soften that, especially if you’re on the hate side of things.

We do feel sorry for TeSeS, though. Magisk has been crap this year, so he’s the one that should probably be going over TeSeS, but let’s face it, he’s zonic’s boy. At least until the big man gets tired of him like he did dupreeh.

Sorry, MOUZ, but at this point it’s inevitable. Enjoy Jimi while you still can.
