On June 23, 2025, the organization Falcons officially announced the signing of Maksim "kyousuke" Lukin from Spirit Academy. Shortly after, a CS influencer published news about the announcement, accompanied by information about an alleged $2 million paid for the transfer. However, Falcons CEO Mossad "Msdossary" Aldossary quickly refuted this amount, calling it inaccurate.

Thanks for sharing the announcement, However the buyout rumors isn’t correct . The buyout was big but not close to what you mentioned
he commented

The transfer of kyousuke became another link in the chain of high-profile acquisitions by the club. In April 2025, Falcons signed m0NESY from G2 Esports — rumored to be around $2.5 million, making it one of the largest in CS2 history. At the beginning of 2025, the team bought out the Heroic trio – TeSeS , degster , and kyxsan , also for significant amounts.

Thus, in just half a year, Falcons completely assembled a new roster, investing, according to unofficial estimates, over half a million dollars. The new transfer of kyousuke is not just a bet on the future but also further confirmation of the organization's ambitions to become the best.

Falcons Roster:
Damjan " kyxsan " Stoilkovski
Maksim "kyousuke" Lukin

The upcoming tournament for the new Falcons roster will be IEM Cologne 2025, which will take place from July 26 to August 3. The prize pool for the tournament is $1,250,000. You can follow the news, schedule, and results of the tournament via the link.
