Falcons part ways with Kyojin

The Frenchman's temporary return to the lineup comes to an end in the wake of Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub's addition.

Falcons have bid farewell to Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van, bringing the 23-year-old rifler's nine-month long tenure with the Saudi Arabian organization to an end.

The Frenchman averaged a 1.04 rating during his time with Falcons, helping them to first place finishes in ESL Challenger League S41 and ESL National Championship France Spring. His LAN performances left much to be desired, however, with his average plummeting to a 0.88 rating in Falcons' Global Esports Tour Dubai and ESL Pro League S16 Conference appearances.

Kyojin is a free agent after parting ways with Falcons

Kyojin has been absent from regular active play since he suffered a hand injury in July and took a step back from competition, with Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt joining the team as a short-term substitute to fill the gap. Just one month later, that short-term solution was made permanent, and Kyojin found himself on the bench watching on from the sidelines.

He temporarily returned to the active roster as a stand-in after Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda was moved to the bench in October, taking part in the ESL National Championship France Autumn and ESL Challenger League S43 Europe while Falcons assessed their options for the future of their roster.

That future was announced on Tuesday when Falcons revealed they had finalized Maka's replacement with the signing of kennyS, leaving Kyojin on the outs once again. Now, he is free to explore his options outside of Falcons without a buyout looming over him, announcing on Twitter that he is "officially free to join a new project."

i was watching NBK's stream and he said that he and shox are fine now. Some guy translated it to me. And even if they still had beef, they could resolve it.

Talented player, but lacks more confidence and trust in himself he couldn't handle all the pressure back then when he was with Vitality, he couldn't also handle the crowd, media and so on, but when you also have a dude like Apex h24 on your ass that doesn't help neither, feel sorry for him tbh he can do a lot better.

One of the worst player, with one of the worst understanding of the game that ever played in tier1. He never understood when to push, take info, or what to do on the map. It was a real pain to watch him play. Back to faceit and doing useless youtube videos it seems.
