Exciting news has emerged in the competitive CS2 scene as up-and-coming talent Maxim "kyousuke" Lukin from Team Spirit rising academy has become the target of Falcons, as reported by Dust2.dk. The potential transfer is not expected to take place until after the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
If this deal goes through, kyousuke is set to take the place of Rene "TeSeS" Madsen in the Falcons' lineup. Sources suggest that the 17-year-old prodigy is eager to break into the top-tier CS2 competition but feels constrained in Team Spirit due to role similarities with Danil "donk" Kryshkovets.
Adding more fuel to the speculation, renowned French insider Guillaume "neL" Rathier chimed in on the situation, revealing that kyousuke turned down a previous offer from Falcons during the offseason.
Notably, neL had previously shared insights on m0NESY's anticipated move to Falcons. The Russian leaker, OverDrive, swiftly corroborated the transfer rumors by disclosing the speculated buyout amount. Despite being involved in scouting kyousuke for Team Spirit, OverDrive chose to remain silent on the latest gossip, opting instead to humorously suggest his own inclusion in the Falcons roster, even going as far as joking about replacing Magisk.
kyousuke has been recognized as one of the most promising talents in the CS2 scene. Joining Spirit Academy in March 2024, he quickly garnered attention in the latter part of the year. Acknowledging similarities in playstyles with donk, the rifler hinted at potential challenges if both players were to be promoted to the main team.
