According to the British analyst Richard Lewis, Falcons is serious about signing two of the most famous CS2 stars - Ukrainian Olexander 's1mple' Kostylev and Bosnian Nikola 'NiKo' Kovac. These two figures are considered to be among the best players in the history of Counter-Strike, and their unification in one team could become a real sensation in the world of esports.
"I have been whispered that Falcons are still planning to acquire s1mple together with NiKo. One of the organization's executives compared it to having Messi and Ronaldo on the same soccer team,” Lewis shared in his YouTube podcast.
The fate of s1mple in NAVI and his performances for the Falcons
s1mple already had experience playing for the Falcons on loan during the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 tournament. This move was a temporary solution after NAVI announced a pause in his career in October 2023 after losing in the ESL Pro League Season 18 finals, where the Ukrainian team lost to MOUZ with a score of 0:3.
The Falcons ' interest in signing s1mple remains, and this could be not only a great sporting but also a financial decision for NAVI. Selling such a legendary personality could bring in millions of dollars for the organization. Given that transfer amounts in esports continue to rise, the question of the cost of this transition becomes even more relevant.
Is NiKo 's move to Falcons just the beginning?
No less interesting is the information about the Bosnian star player NiKo, who, according to insights from reliable sources, will join Falcons, the transition should take place in January 2025. The addition of s1mple to this tandem could create one of the most powerful teams in the CS2 world, as well as bring even more attention to Falcons.
As for the Falcons' sporting ambitions, the union of s1mple and NiKo could open the door to new victories on the international stage, as both players are undoubted leaders in their respective roles.
