Team Falcons Finalize Lineup with HEROIC Trio Pickup
In an X (Formerly Twitter) post by Team Falcons, the Saudi organization announced they have signed the HEROIC trio of Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski, René "TeSeS" Madsen, and Abdul "degster" Gasanov.
Prior to this, they announced Nikola "NiKo" Kovač, a highly regarded transfer and one that failed to come to fruition on November of last year following NiKo's iconic "I stay" announcement.
Emil "Magisk" Reif was the only remaining player on the Falcons lineup before these transfers. The community's opinion of the HEROIC move is regarded as a placeholder until the Falcons can secure the world-renowned Ilya "m0NESY-" Osipov from G2, NiKo's long-term duo at his previous team.
Recently, the HEROIC trio had been experiencing an unexpected upward spiral in terms of performance. For this reason, the move will be regarded as a sad departure for fans of the Norwegian organization.
Now, the new Falcons roster is set to debut at the upcoming BLAST Bounty Qualifiers on the 14th of January. This will mark a pivotal appearance for the players and the organization, where they could face off against their former teammates down the road.
Rumors are still circulating in regard to HEROIC's upcoming roster, where they are rumored to sign Sangal trio consisting of Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç, Linus "LNZ" Holtäng, and Simon "yxngstxr" Boije. As of right now, however, the current HEROIC roster is composed solely of Guy "Nertz" Iluz and Rasmus "sjuush" Beck.
The current Falcons roster will look like this:
- Nikola "NiKo" Kovač
- Emil "Magisk" Reif
- Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski (In-Game Leader)
- Abdul "degster" Gasanov (AWPer)
- René "TeSeS" Madsen
- Danny "zonic" Sørensen (Coach)
