Falcons bench misutaaa

17-6-2023 17:44

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:

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

Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni (coach)

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

That would be a downgrade for him

2023-06-17 23:59

strong team

2023-06-17 17:46

mhL at Falcons? Ok, what did i miss?

Saudis said "Fuck the frenchies" and decided to go international.

2023-06-17 18:14

this ain't a french team and if it had a french roster before, not anymore

2023-06-17 17:53

its not a full French lineup but you and i know that wouldnt have this potential

2023-06-17 17:54

You did good my friend! Bodyy deserves it so much, I want to see him unleashed from having to explain everything and work for lazy people, so he can just focus on fragging and secondary calling!

2023-06-17 17:55

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!

2023-06-17 18:00

Couldn't have say it better When I have more time I need to check everyone's position on the map to see if there is not too much potential overlap

2023-06-17 18:06

Yep, this has a lot of potential and can give France some players back in t1 with the Zywoo+Apex. Very excited to watch this team if +BOROS happens.

2023-06-17 18:48

I just wish they got a better AWPer, I don't think mhl can cut it for T1, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I really want to see bodyy succeed, he deserves a good team

2023-06-18 13:36

It's a saudi-org unfortunately

2023-06-17 17:58

not in my heart :(

i dont think so actually.. who s playing support in this team ?launx bodyy? u make 1 player worse with these changes..

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.

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

2023-06-18 13:40

nbk support/igl otherwise they are fucked cuz nbk is terrible

2023-06-18 16:15

misutaaa done

2023-06-17 17:51

time for another lineup of DBL PONEY to appear

2023-06-17 17:52

hope so

2023-06-17 22:43

AND HERES COME BOROS

🙃 welp

if they add Boros this team is very good .

I feel like they could also just add afro

2023-06-17 19:01

Falcons just becoming ex-Endpoint if they add mhL and boros lol

ngl Endpoint was on the right path when they still had Markus and Guy, but MAX and surreal couldnt evolve further, and im happy to see Milosz gets a chance on a better lineup now.

2023-06-17 18:15

Does misutaa speak albanian? Maybe he can join bne?

8 replies

If he can, it would be lit ngl. And maybe playing with 4 very motivated and hungry persons would make him finally stop being lazy

5 replies

Hmm i didnt know that he has lazy attitude, there still potential in him i want to see him fulfil that potential, hopefully not another xms..

2023-06-17 17:59

2023-06-17 18:04

-sener1 + misuta EZ FOR EAGLES

2023-06-17 18:10

mdr, i really hope he will get a good spot, he's still only 20yo

2023-06-17 18:17

he bottom frags in my pugs >:( needs the time to improve for sure

2023-06-19 13:15

Doesn't even have to speak it since bne already communicate in english with their coach

2023-06-17 18:49

in game still albanian no? prob only english during tac

2023-06-17 20:30

now they need to bench nbk

Please don't let BOROS waste his time on Falcons. OG should get him.

2023-06-17 18:12

huh this team would be better than OG . u sleep on mhl and launx ?

2023-06-17 19:09

He is

2023-06-17 21:52

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.

2023-06-17 21:57

Not wasting time / joining og Omegalul

2023-06-18 04:36

Misutaa went from ultra hot prospect in 2020 to who knows where the fuck

2023-06-17 18:21

Ok BOROS to falcons

2023-06-17 18:25

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.

2023-06-17 18:42

GL was destroyed by many t2 teams so chill

2023-06-17 20:12

It was about time ! misutaaa is the reason why Flacons were not performing. This bot being kicked, there is hope now.

2023-06-17 19:02

time to work at mcdonalds, not making it in tier 2 anymore

2023-06-17 19:06

get rid of french bots pls

2023-06-17 19:14

That Falcons now start becoming more interesting team to join (on the paper) than OG tells quite a lot about current state of OG ouch

2023-06-17 19:15

BOROS is on #11 ranked team. If he moves to Falcons that could damage his career. Falcons are doing an experiment that could go okay or go horribly wrong. He would be smart to go on an already established top team

2023-06-17 19:19

Does he have the options?

2023-06-17 19:21

Yes.og want him and eg aswell

2023-06-17 19:33

EG is worst possible move for him

2023-06-17 20:13

Misutaaa > bodyy

what are you smoking?

2023-06-17 19:32

wow do you actually live in Afghanistan!?

2023-06-18 17:12

trash player.

2023-06-17 19:25

misutaaa one of the most misunderstood players out there its not misutaa its misutaaa so many people get this wrong

2023-06-17 19:27

So boros to falcons, right? NBK has a chance to work with potentially one of the best future riflers. Interesting.

2023-06-17 19:43

French cs kekw

2023-06-17 19:48

Ozstrik3r making comeback for cs2

2023-06-17 20:04

not even good enough for tier 3... crazy to think vitality thought for over 2 years that they could really win tier 1 tournaments with this guy on the team

2023-06-17 20:09

let's not forget also kyojin ...and shox

2023-06-17 20:33

when you think about it, sometimes you ask yourself how this team was even good

2023-06-17 20:49

Apex said that despite this team had the worse firepower of the top 10 at the time, this team managed to get decent results because they had very good strats, communication and chemistry

2023-06-17 22:54

props to apex to lead this team <3

2023-06-18 11:22

rip

2023-06-17 20:47

Why would Boros switch to a worse team...i bet he has some real T1 offers. (Dont hit me with "money")

2023-06-17 20:54

Honestly sources say that Boros will leave to OG,Falcons and everyone XD Just not confirmed

2023-06-17 21:28

wait launx is already signed?

Good, he should retiré, talentless

2023-06-17 21:44

why the hell would boros come to that team??

2023-06-17 23:03

Money. Also being playing for somewhat local organization for him.

2023-06-18 06:50

2023-06-18 01:34

RIP career probably

2023-06-18 02:24

needed +zyphon, but probably will be +boros

2023-06-18 03:02

zywoo's the goat to have won an event with shox, apex, kyojin & misutaa

2023-06-18 03:42

+Zerator +MoMan +CarlJr and they can expect to win a Dreamhack =D

2023-06-18 07:11

lol iirc that exact lineup played a couple of faceit games a few years ago

2023-06-18 08:48

NBK eager to ruin another lineup

Finally, I wanted him to succeed so much but this guy is just lazy asf. Before the major he had like 70 hours past 2 weeks on csgo, like what the f, you are a liability and you just don't put the hours necessary to be on your top shape for the most iconic tournament of the year?
