Falcons bench Maka

25-10-2022 15:47

Falcons are set for changes after their unsuccessful campaign in the IEM Road to Rio European RMR.

Falcons have placed their Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda on the bench, the Saudi Arabian organization has announced via Twitter. The AWPer steps aside after having represented the team for the past eight months.

Spending the last three months on the sidelines due to a hand injury, Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van will return to the lineup as a substitute while the team "assesses the AWP role and future roster."

Falcons are set to undergo their third change in less than three months

Changes in the French side come after they failed to qualify for the IEM Rio Major earlier this month. Falcons exited the Europe RMR B tournament in 9th-11th place after losing to Outsiders in the spot-deciding match in the 2-2 pool.

It marks their third roster change in just over two months. In the middle of August, Falcons made waves with the signings of veteran Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt from MOUZ, who was brought on to take over in-game leadership, and former Vitality member Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier.

Shortly following the changes the team managed to qualify for IEM Road to Rio with wins over fnatic and OG, but since haven't been able to replicate that success against teams of that caliber. After they bowed out of the Major-qualifying event with losses to ENCE, OG, and Outsiders, they went out in 7th-8th place in ESL Challenger League Season 42 and in 9th-16th place of CCT South Europe Series 1.

Falcons will play with the following roster while they assess options for their future roster and new AWPer:

Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss
Jordan "⁠Python⁠" Munck-Foehrle
Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt
Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier
Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van (substitute)

Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni (coach)

OMG KENNYS?

Who would leave for shox

2022-10-26 03:57

idk maybe Python since he's the lowest rated player in the team besides nbk and don't have much experience? but i think they want to keep young players, nbk and misutaa have plenty of experience and i think they just need more time.

Kennys

just merge HEET and Falcons at this point

2022-10-25 15:51

Afro would fit so well in Falcons, I think with him they would have past the RMR

2022-10-25 16:13

I always thought that such a talent!

2022-10-25 18:56

bring in boddy for python and afroo as awp and you have a roster with top 10 potential imo

2022-10-26 07:59

Python has been very impressive since NBK came in, like the best player after Misutaaa I would prefer to do -hadji even if hadji is a great guy

2022-10-25 17:34

watch vita fail at major and he join falcons

2022-10-25 17:46

Sexer. On a serious note wasn't hadji an awper at one point or am I going crazy ?

2022-10-25 17:50

2022-10-25 17:51

Yeah I must have mistaken something.

2022-10-27 01:20

history repeating itself.

2022-10-27 01:43

That's too bad, Maka has insane skills, but super inconsistent...

2022-10-26 09:31

Maka>kennys

In his worst period kennyS still better than Maka bro. I’m bored for maka he was really promising, I guess he didn’t have enough time to adjust his gameplay with the nbk call

2022-10-25 20:47

-maka +smooya its free ;)

2022-10-25 16:09

KennyS Shox Misutaaa NBK?

2022-10-25 16:11

Noooo

2022-10-25 16:15

Now just +afro and let heet rot

Deserved after his stupid yoloADHD plays in RMR

HAHA and they keep nbk

and they got kyojin for him lol

nbk has best impact and adr stats in the team . Just check it

kyojin is just substituting in the meantime I think since he's still under contract

2022-10-25 18:02

Didn't read it mb

2022-10-25 19:01

KYOJIN POG!!!1!1!1!

+kennys tomorrow

2022-10-25 16:19

falcons have ruined this team.

2022-10-25 16:25

They were terrible with this lineup tho

2022-10-25 16:56

Almost got to the major tho..

2022-10-26 08:33

2022-10-25 16:34

KennyS is back? cant think of any other French awpers?

2022-10-25 16:38

+ Zywoo

2022-10-25 17:13

are there any upcoming French awpers even there ? I dont think Afro will leave HEET. Might just turn out to be Kenny

2022-10-25 16:39

sixer

too good for the scene, Zywoo will go into hiding

2022-10-25 18:43

Maka to EG?

2022-10-25 16:48

If they can afford a 15-man roster they should be able to afford the best AWPer they can get (Mantuu/Hades)

2022-10-25 22:11

should go for mantuu. i think hades needs some time in t2

2022-10-26 08:00

+shoxieGOD let's gooooo

2022-10-25 16:51

2022-10-25 17:00

Everyone talking about Kenny but I know it will be goat sixer clutcher pro beast

2022-10-25 17:10

best player in falcons

2022-10-25 17:12

maka isnt a bad awper, but he isnt a game changer that the falcons are looking for

2022-10-25 17:22

+Lucky/jeyN/SIXER

Anyone else remembers how promising were both Maka and Hadji? Real t1 potential

yeah hadji on 3dmax with my boy davidp was killing it

2022-10-25 17:45

I didn't think Maka was the problem tbh but k

2022-10-25 17:38

he really hasn't been good recently tbh he'd go missing in important games unfortunately

+kennys aware

2022-10-25 18:42

+kenny or +afro?

2022-10-25 18:48

Falcons best team: -NBK -misutaa -Hadji -KennyS -shoxi jesus Go last dance and win paris major!!!

Python removal is the worst idea. He is the most consistent player on this team.

2022-10-25 20:49

2022-10-26 14:19

Its time for kenny

2022-10-25 19:10

wtf?

2022-10-25 19:29

I mean, despite all the memes, kennyS would actually be a great pickup for Falcons, if he wants it. I see no reason why not.

2022-10-25 19:41

Please just don't tell me they pick up shox. I mean, this team was decent for quite some time and maka was decent (not great) as well. KennyS would be interesting, as he might still "have it". Question is if he would be hunger to prove himself after a long time out. NBK kinda did it. With all that said, with kyojin misuta and python this team CLEARLY lacks firepower for t2 CS. Quite a lot actually...

2022-10-25 20:04

Rip

2022-10-25 20:13

the saudi arabian organization is looking for a more explosive awper

2022-10-25 20:29

I see what you did there

2022-10-26 08:45

KennyS,shox,NBK,misutaa, python .. last dance

2022-10-25 21:54

I actually understand the move, Maka was always decent, but he has limitations and always made silly mistakes and missed some easy shots. But who can Falcons get if they plan to speak French? Afro would be ideal but will he leave Heet/will they buy him out? I don't follow the french scene but I can't think of any upcoming french AWPers
