The Falcons organization continues to make ambitious roster changes with the official confirmation of the signing of Nikola “NiKo” Kovacs. This transfer is the first step in the process of a complete team rebuild for the 2025 season.

Back to negotiations

Back in 2023, there were rumors about NiKo's possible move to the Falcons, but the Bosnian player rejected the offer of the Saudi organization. However, the persistence of head coach Danny “zonic” Sorensen paid off, and this time the Falcons were able to sign one of the best players in the world.

Star duo with Magisk

In Falcons, NiKo will team up with Emil “Magisk” Reif, which will create an experienced core of the team. In 2023, Magisk was recognized as one of the best Anchor players, and NiKo was recognized as the leader in Opener score. Together with zonic, they will form the basis that will lead the team to the top of the world stage.
