Team Spirit Academy player Maksim 'kyousuke' Liukin has addressed the recent rumors surrounding his potential move to Team Falcons. In response to inquiries from streamer StRoGo, Kyousuke firmly denied receiving any offers from the organization. Furthermore, Ilya 'm0NESY' Osipov indirectly dismissed the speculation on Telegram with a hint of sarcasm, questioning the credibility of the sources.
The transfer saga began to unfold on May 9, when Sheep Esports journalists Alejandro 'Anonimotum' Gomis and Leo Boksner reported that Kyousuke had officially signed a contract with Falcons, with plans to join the team following the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. The news was soon reinforced by Guillaume 'neL' Rathier, who not only confirmed the agreement but also disclosed that the Russian player would be taking over the position previously held by Emil 'Magisk' Reif.
Interestingly, the initial leak regarding Kyousuke's move came from Dust.dk in early April, where it was suggested that he would be replacing TeSeS in the lineup. While predominantly known for their expertise in reporting on roster changes within the League of Legends scene, Sheep Esports has evidently expanded their coverage to include developments in the CS:GO realm. This transition is exemplified by the involvement of Alejandro Gomis, who, despite his current focus on Counter-Strike reporting, boasts a background of experience in this domain.
