Falcons bench misutaaa

The Frenchman is moved to the sidelines amidst rumors of an off-season overhaul of the squad.

Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier is no longer on Falcons' starting roster and has been moved to the bench, the Frenchman has announced. The move brings an end to a 10-month partnership between the player and organization.

Sources: Falcons sign mhL, lauNX; target BOROS

The announcement also comes amid wider rumors of an off-season overhaul for Falcons. HLTV is aware that the Saudi Arabian organization has already secured the signatures of Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak and Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea, while Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas is also being sought after and would fill the gap left by misutaaa's benching should his signing come to fruition.

misutaaa is moved to the bench after 10 months' worth of service

misutaaa joined Falcons in August 2022 alongisde Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt, with the 20-year-old aiming to get back on the tier-one stage following his removal from Vitality earlier that month.

His tenure with the side didn't all go according to plan, however. The French side missed out on a spot at the IEM Rio and BLAST.tv Paris Majors after exiting the two tournaments' RMRs in 9-11th place both times, and narrowly retained their place in ESL Challenger League with 13-16th place showing.

The team's unsuccessful campaign for the French Major was particularly gut-wrenching. Falcons originally sported a 2-1 record and were one best-of-three away from earning a spot at the Major on home soil, but three consecutive losses and a failed bid through the Last Chance Qualifier ultimately dashed the team's hopes of reaching the French spectacle itself.

Individually, misutaaa performed admirably during his time in a Falcons jersey, and the Frenchman heads to the sidelines with a 1.04 rating over 167 maps to his name — the second-best performance when compared to the quintet that attended the BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR.

Falcons are now:

France Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt
France Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro
Poland Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak
Romania Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea

France Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni (coach)

France Jordan "⁠Python⁠" Munck-Foehrle (benched)
France Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier (benched)

yeah i really love these picks. NBK its his time to show his experience; bodyy deserves this chance more than anyone; mhL has been one of my favorites since he played for AGO; launx is a really great high potential; BOROS was the sledgehammer of monte; there are some small question marks but this team can go really far!

tbh i really dont know. im still a bit hesitant on NBK as IGL but this should be one of the best possible high potential lineups, so he's the one that should make this work. i think restructurizing a team with an IGL alrdy present is the perfect way to do it, so i think he was involved in the process from the start.
2023-06-17 17:53
0
I think it's gonna be fine. NBK will probably take on the more supportive roles, and lauNX will play the same way he did with Zyphon and Staehr who are pretty much the equivalent of bodyy and BOROS. I kinda wish they got a more passive player to support lauNX in his aggression, but this should also work as lauNX is a really really good anchor

mhL and launx are nutty players, but if BOROS were to join Mouz instead, he'd be able to play with frozen and potentially siuhy. That'd be a deadly team.

One more international team so boring. They just played close game against gamer legion who break the t1. Cs2 Is coming so currently is not really smart move to buy international prospect in my opinion. Doesn’t have the feedback on their statistic in a new gameplay.
