After the high-profile transfer window in the spring of 2025, which is already preparing m0NESY 's move to the Falcons, the Saudi organization does not stop and continues to assemble a dream team. According to Dust2.dk, Falcons are looking to sign Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin, one of the main discoveries of recent years in CS2.

The move won't happen before the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, but already now kyousuke is seriously considered as a replacement for René “TeSeS” Madsen, who, according to sources, will be relegated to the bench after the major. Together with him, dupreeh and maden remain in reserve, and the new roster is being built around NiKo, m0NESY and Magisk.

Why did Falcons choose kyousuke?

The 17-year-old kyousuke has long been on the radar of leading clubs. At Spirit Academy, he demonstrated outstanding play with a 6.8 rating, an average K/D of 1.14, and a constant presence in the highlights of CCT and BetBoom LanDaLan tournaments, where he helped the team win the LAN trophy.

However, the way to the main Spirit lineup is blocked for him - the main superstar of the donk team has established himself in the position he plays, and Spirit management has no plans to change his role. As a result, kyousuke is already ready to conquer the tier-1 scene, and Falcons looks like an ideal platform to start at the highest level.

Comparison with TeSeS

Over the past three months, kyousuke has a clear advantage over TeSeS in almost all key indicators:

• Average Score 6.7 -  6.0; -11%
• Kills/round 0.82 - 0.66; -20%.
• Deaths/round 0.72 - 0.68 ; +6% 
• Damage/round 89.79 - 71.83;  -20%.

These figures show not only the high individual level of the Russian, but also his stability, which is a key factor for Falcons, who are looking to compete for titles at major tournaments.

New possible Falcons roster after the major:

• Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
• Emil “Magisk” Reif
• Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
• Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov (expected to move from G2)
• Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin (expected after the major)
• Danny “zonic” Sørensen (coach)

The following players remain on the bench: TeSeS, dupreeh, maden.

The signing of kyousuke has not yet been officially confirmed, but sources say that the negotiations are in the final stages. The announcement is expected to be made immediately after the BLAST.tv Austin Major. The Falcons continue to build a super roster with a clear goal of becoming the best team in the world in 2025.
