Sensational news from Falcons: the organization has decided to bench three main roster players—Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer, Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen, and Pavle "Maden" Bošković. This decision follows the team's disappointing performance at the European RMR, where Falcons suffered defeats against FaZe, SAW, and GamerLegion.

This news confirms serious issues within one of the most ambitious line-ups of 2024. Additionally, Falcons have officially ended their collaboration with Ukrainian star Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev as his loan will not be renewed, ending fans' hopes of seeing the CS legend remain long-term in the Saudi organization.

Back in 2023: Unresolved Issues

Falcons were under close observation from the beginning of 2024. After a complete roster overhaul at the end of 2023, the team assembled a star-studded lineup: veterans Snappi, dupreeh, and Maden were joined by Álvaro "SunPayus" García and Emil "Magisk" Reif. The legendary Danny "zonic" Sørensen was in charge of coaching. However, the potential of this roster remained unrealized.

The first warning signs appeared just two months after the formation of the new roster. Falcons failed to qualify for the PGL Major Copenhagen, leading to the exclusion of Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas, the last remaining member of the previous team version.

All the Details of the Current Changes

The announcement of benching four players (including SunPayus, who was previously benched) is not just a reaction to poor results but a signal of a complete team overhaul. The current Falcons roster:

• Emil "Magisk" Reif (active player);
• Danny "zonic" Sørensen (coach);
• Álvaro "SunPayus" García (benched);
• Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer (benched);
• Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen (benched);
• Pavle "Maden" Bošković (benched).

The organization has not yet announced plans for the future roster, but one thing is clear: Falcons will rebuild the team from scratch once again.

Conclusion

Falcons remain one of the most talked-about organizations in CS2 due to their aggressive investments and big names on the roster. Their new rebuild paves the way for speculation: who will fill the main roster spots? Which stars or young talents might become part of the next experiment?

These changes also raise the question of whether Falcons can ever meet the expectations that accompany their projects. In the coming months, the fate of this team will be one of the main topics in the esports community.
