Akimbo roster signs with Falcons

21-2-2022 20:02

After a strong showing at ESL Challenger League Season 40, the French squad has found a permanent home.

Falcons, a Saudi-based esports organisation, announced the signing of the Akimbo roster today via their Twitter account. The roster famously features ex-Vitality player Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van, who left that team last year after struggling to perform individually.

Kyojin now has a new home after a rough 2021 individually.

The roster now representing Falcons came together early in 2022 after LDLC had dropped their entire squad following an underwhelming previous year; Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda, Nicolas "⁠Keoz⁠" Dgus, Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss and Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni all represented the French organisation for the majority of 2021.

Adding Jordan "⁠Python⁠" Munck-Foehrle, who featured for Unicorns of Love last year, and Kyojin, the team played the recent ESL Challenger League and impressed, picking up series wins over Copenhagen Flames and HEET.

The Falcons roster is:

France Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van
France Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss
France Jordan "⁠Python⁠" Munck-Foehrle
France Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda
Belgium Nicolas "⁠Keoz⁠" Dgus

France Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni (Coach)

Good players They prob won't do much but I hope I'm wrong. With a lineup like this and an org no excuses can be made, especially after the results DBL Poney pulled with a far less talented rooster and no org.
