Pimp on Team Falcons’ CS2 roster: “It won’t be strong enough to dominate.”

I didn’t expect Team Falcons to beat the world’s best team, Team Vitality. <...> And karrigan probably realizes that this is his last Tier 1 team. So, of course, he wanted to do everything in his power, alongside the young kyousuke, the young and hungry-for-victory m0NESY, and NiKo, who remains one of the most impactful players individually and strives to make his mark. And I’ll be honest about TeSeS. I’m not saying he needs to be replaced, but he should have realized that this was the very opportunity [to win the IEM Cologne Major 2026. — Ed.].

Will a victory-hungry Team Falcons be able to beat Team Vitality, Team Spirit, and similar teams? To be honest, I’m not sure. It’s very difficult to predict right now. I think the roster won’t be strong enough to dominate, but it will be able to win three or four trophies.

Overall, they’re set on winning, but on the other hand, I don’t fully believe it, and one of the reasons is karrigan’s individual skill level. I know people don’t like to discuss this topic, and they also believe it doesn’t prevent the team from being excellent in any way. Did he play a role in Team Falcons winning the Major? 100%. Will he do it again? 100%. However, to achieve consistent victories, you can’t keep a player who has a rating of 0.72 on the roster. I believe history has already proven several times that there’s a threshold you shouldn’t fall below, and it doesn’t matter if the other four players are excellent or three of them are superstars.
