Falcons bench Magisk

Falcons' longest serving player will no longer be part of the starting roster.

Falcons have announced the benching of Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif, bringing to an end the Dane's one-and-a-half year stint on the starting lineup.

The news follows recent media reports that Falcons have agreed terms with Spirit for the transfer of Maxim "⁠kyousuke⁠" Lukin.

Media: Falcons and Spirit agree on kyousuke transfer

"Magisk brought many memorable moments and helped us win our first CS2 trophy in Bucharest," Falcons' statement read. "We thank him for his dedication to the team as we seek a new path after this offseason."

In a post on X, Magisk spoke of his eagerness to enter the "next chapter" of his career. "I feel eager hungry as ever and can't wait to continue my journey at the highest level of CS and show you what I'm capable of"

Magisk joined Falcons at the end of 2023 as part of an overhaul that was intended to bring Falcons to the top of the CS world, after years of the organization experimenting with French and international lineups to little success.

Originally Falcons intended to assemble a star-studded roster alongside Magisk, with Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač set to join the team soon after the Dane's arrival and rumours of a potential Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov transfer circulating, but those moves fell through. Instead, Falcons pivoted and signed Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer's ENCE core.

SunPayus, Maden, Magisk complete Falcons roster

With Snappi, Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García and Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković under their banner Falcons struggled to find success to match their lofty ambitions, despite bringing both Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen and Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev in across the year in search of improved fortunes, and thus finished the year by benching the remaining ENCE players.

Coming into 2025 Falcons finally got their man in NiKo, and alongside the HEROIC trio of Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov, Damjan "⁠kyxsan⁠" Stoilkovski and René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen, Magisk helped deliver Falcons their first trophy in CS2 at PGL Bucharest.

Falcons defeat m0NESY's G2 to win PGL Bucharest

m0NESY signed for the organization soon after and Falcons continued to rise in stock, placing second at IEM Melbourne and BLAST Rivals to place themselves, in the eyes of many, as the second-best team in the world heading into BLAST.tv Austin Major. The team then flopped horribly in another Major cycle, however, exiting Stage 2 with a single series win to their name.

In their continued quest to dominate the CS world, Falcons are reportedly set to replace Magisk with rising star kyousuke.

kyousuke has emerged as the hottest prospect in the Counter-Strike scene since the emergence of Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets, another Spirit Academy graduate. kyousuke averaged a 1.29 rating in his first year of professional Counter-Strike, earning six "Bold Predictions" from 2024's HLTV Top 20 Players, including m0NESY and Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut.

In an interview with HLTV in February, at the first edition of BetBoom LanDaLan, kyousuke spoke of his wish to reach tier-one "by the end of the year." But with the doors to Spirit seemingly closed, the 17-year-old was left with no chance other than to seek a move elsewhere.

Everybody hates NiKo, but you cannot just bench him. He chokes on majers, that is a fact and is likely to never win one, but on other tournaments he has proven otherwise. Signing a young online player that hasn't proven anything on LAN in NiKo's place would be unacceptable. Magisk going to the bench is a better option.

This is a big mistake.magisk is the most reliable hard anchor that has bailed Falcons out many rounds and games. Kyosok is completely unproven at any level on LAN let alone on-stage. I hope it works out for Falcons - but this is a complete shot in the dark and a risk. Magisk is rock solid

as a stat 0.98 isnt even that bad. last 3 events he averaged 1.05 and thats after they finally had any time to practice with m0nesy. We will have to see if they finally make niko more of an anchor and start winning stuff or they just ruin kyosuke instead

I'm seriously doubting Zonic can integrate kyousuke correctly and develop him, he failed miserably with Boros. Kyousuke seems to be just as problematic of a character if not more.

most of us would leave our current job for a 30% salary increase, that does not make him greedy. He was lured into an ambitious project, financially and competitively, where he would still play against the best. It's not like Ronaldo going to saudi , taking the cash and playing in tier 3 league. Cs players don't have long careers by 30, it will most likely be over, they have to take care of their futur.

Playing with long last friends, in the best team in the world Or going for more stupid amount of money with bad players and not winning a single trophy for the remaining of your career while you're still the best anchor in the world... Also STOP with that "cut in half" wtf idk who spread this misinformation first but it gotta stop lmao Edit : just so you know, zonic was greatly overpaid compared to every other coach (had just left Astralis and their historical era) and neo asked him to reduce his salary by 25% NOT 60 LMAO, because vitality had lost a lot of money during their first years in tier 1 and needed to think on the long term with the money they just got from 2023. Zonic decided to leave, okay. Magisk too. And now look where they are, look where vitality players are.

The "playing with long last friends" thing is stupid he left with zonic 4. Magisk wasn't performing good at all at the end of his vitality mandate.

> Playing with long last friends At that point we should condemn all the players that leave their friend ESEA mix teams to join an org, because they choose money over playing with friends. Like it or not - it's all about money, for everyone involved: players, orgs, coaches, TOs. Not to mention that pro-player career is extremely short, people retire around 30, ffs, so you have to accumulate as much as you can, considering most of them played professionally since like 16 and have no education outside of school. Imagine trying to land a job at 30 without expericence or education to speak of outside of "I played one game for 15 years" (not as crucial for tier-1, unless they are really careless with money they receive there, of course, at least for current tier-1, but still).

Kjaerbye left for money. Astralis players ended up making more thanks to trophies. And honestly I wouldn't be surprised if vitality players had made more money than magisk now. Also my long last friends thing wasn't an argument on its own, it was just an additional point on top of everything else.

Have you considered then that the dane trio joined Vitality in the first place because of money? Or what, you think they were more of a friends with Zywoo and Apex than device or xyp9x, with whom at least dupreeh played since 2013? Or it wasn't a problem back then because you like Vitality, but now it is? As for more money, maybe, but would it be the case if danes didn't left? Because that means no mezii and no flamez at least. Potentially no ropz as well if Zonic didn't want to for some reason, for example (or magisk + dupreeh, you never know)

(and device) Of course its not on the same level but it's still somewhat similar. Both players left the best team at the moment, to get a better salary in another team and were promised trophies they never got. Fortunately for magisk he had already won everything and COULD have won even MORE but I guess it's enough for him. I still think it's a waste of potential and he could have joined falcons later in his career.

Magisk wasn't getting his salary cut. So either he doesn't care about winning trophies anymore and cares more about getting the bag and getting out or he wanted to stay with Zonic or maybe a mix of both. Suppose you'd have to hear why from Magisk himself, otherwise it's all just conjecture.

Oh? You done crying every last drop of salt out of your body since ZywOo lifted that major trophy, or are you still leaking? I’m naming teams where he could actually contribute and improve the roster, not recycling takes straight out of a dumpster fire like you. What exactly is so painful for your shriveled brain stem to grasp here? The concept of a roster move? A suggestion? Coherence? Genuinely how does someone like you manage to hit “post” without telling himself "I'm being retarded"? Sybau lmfao

Ah yes, nothing screams “intelligent take” like a forum toddler with an Afghanistan flag slapped on just to hide his actual location, yapping about Faceit levels like that means anything in a tier 1 roster discussion. You’ve been here less than a year, haven’t said a single thing worth reading, and already sound like a pre-teen speedrunning brain damage in every thread. Meanwhile I’ve played, watched, and followed the scene longer than you’ve had a Steam account. You genuinely think hiding behind flag bait and parroting “lvl 9 Faceit” makes you an authority on anything? You’re just noise, mate. Empty, insecure noise. Now go back to gatekeeping silver threads and let the adults talk about actual roster moves.

i have been in coma for some years, but my helth is fine now. My last memories before coma was astralis winning 4 majors and magisk being considered the best lurk / anchor in the world. so Idk what u are talking about, if thats a rage bait u better stop i dont know this falcon team but if niko is on it i bet its a hot contender

I don't get it. Why are they completely ignoring how roles work in CS? Do they actually want to spend the time to nurture kyosuke into a top 3 anchor & support player? If they just throw him into a random position and expect him to perform immediately, they are even dumber than I thought...

Well don't worry, he managed to get the bag for how many years with zonics help? Wouldn't surprise me if he earned more in Falcons than Astralis. Anyway, magisk hasn't been great lately but still a player that some tier 1 team could give a last whirl to, not the worst idea. I mean, he was decent on Vitality still. Regards

Huge blunder to let the news slip before the major. Anyway magisk really redeemed himself in my eyes. He’ll be a great signing if not too much of a paywall. I’ll be sad to see him exit like Dupreeh and just fizzle out.
