Media: Magisk to join Falcons, negotiations with G2 players ongoing

Crazy reshuffles on the CS2 pro scene continue - Vitality's rifler will soon be officially announced as a new member of the Falcons' super project, with two more renowned esports players potentially joining him.

Sources from the HLTV portal report that Emil "Magisk" Reif's move to the Saudi club is almost a done deal. Meanwhile, Nikola "NiKo" Kovac and Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer are still in talks with the Falcons, who seem willing to spend a fortune on transfers.

Potential Falcons lineup for CS2

• Emil “Magisk” Reif
• Nikola “NiKo” Kovac
• Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer
• Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov
• Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas
• Danny “zonic” Sorensen (coach)

Potential implications for Vitality and G2

Magisk can be described as one of the world's best riflers, with four major championships speaking for themselves. While the Dane's departure may be manageable, can the club find a worthy replacement?

Magisk is one of the best players in CS:GO history, always being the third star in any lineup. And it seems he will continue to shine for many more years.

As for G2, the transfer of NiKo along with m0NESY will be a major blow, after which breaking into the top 10 teams in the world will be challenging. After all, without two of the strongest players in the world, vying for prestigious titles in the near future will be an uphill battle. The situation might be salvaged by Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov, who left Cloud9 for the bench.
