NaToSaphiX has assembled a roster for Falcons' academy project.

Falcons sign NaToSaphiX to coach new academy

The roster was brought together following an open application process, after which there were scouting tournaments followed by a final evaluation period.

The Falcons Force lineup is populated by largely unknown players, with only two currently sporting HLTV profiles.

Those players are Andrei "⁠grecu⁠" Grecu, who previously featured for INFINITE and recently played in DraculaN Season 1, and Vladimir "⁠VENO⁠" Stankovic, who played a match in European Pro League with Volt.

Falcons Force are:

Romania Andrei "⁠grecu⁠" Grecu
Serbia Vladimir "⁠VENO⁠" Stankovic
Denmark Oskar "clockzi" Blaesbjerg
Denmark Benjamin "Olaie" Olaie
North Macedonia NucleonZ

Tarik was representing the US and was born in the US so no. He probably never even has been to Turkey.

it's not a "take" - oil money is not "Bad". Only gambling and colorful gambling websites designed for pre-pubescent teens is bad. I work in climate change in the UN System. We -- especially in the West -- are pretending to give a fuck about climate and "oil" money because it's Saudi, when our entire modern lifestyle in Germany, Portugal, Poland, and Netherlands depends on coal, oil, and gas. Domestic oil production is also a cornerstone of US, Norway, and Canada economies.

Because he looks arabic, the IGL argument works but I think it isn't the real reason. Similar to what Falcons previously did with BOROS when they announced the roster because he is jordanian.

That's a good thing, a positive thing to do. I am still gonna be an asshole and say it would be great if they actually tried to foster Saudi Arabians to play and develop. If they were to do that on a bigger scale, I would be willing to believe they treat this more seriously than just for sportswashing.

The fact is, that despite the impression people are mistakenly transferring from the main team, these players won't be on particularly high salaries. It's similar to the Saudi Pro League in Football, the big name imports get the ridiculous money and the rest of the squad get peanuts, it'll likely be the same with this academy team. They'll use it as a base to integrate any potential middle eastern talents into in the future.
