René “TeSeS” Madsen, Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski, and Abdul “degster” Gasanov have officially left HEROIC to join Falcons, as announced today on the X platform. The transfer, which had been the subject of speculation, has sparked significant interest within the CS2 community, confirming rumors about Falcons’ ambitious plans.
This move is noteworthy for several reasons. HEROIC, long considered one of the most stable teams in the CS2 scene, is undergoing a major roster shakeup with the loss of three pivotal players. Meanwhile, Falcons, a team known for their high ambitions and substantial financial backing, are assembling a lineup poised to compete at the highest level of the global stage.
Speculation about negotiations between Falcons and the departing HEROIC trio began last week. Adding to the excitement, Falcons recently signed Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, one of the most iconic players in CS2 history, further signaling their intentions to dominate. The departures of TeSeS, kyxsan, and degster from HEROIC are seen as transformative moves that could shift the balance of power in the competitive landscape.
With the addition of the three former HEROIC players, Falcons have finalized their roster, which now includes: Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Emil “Magisk” Reif, René “TeSeS” Madsen, Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski, and Abdul “degster” Gasanov. HEROIC’s roster now consists of Rasmus “sjuush” Beck and Guy “NertZ” Iluz.
HEROIC’s loss of such key players presents a significant challenge for the organization to maintain their position among the elite teams. For Falcons, however, this marks a new era, as their revamped roster positions them as serious contenders for major titles. Transfers of this scale have the potential to reshape the competitive CS2 scene entirely.
