The Russian sniper joined the Saudi organization in April 2025 in a blockbuster move and has averaged a 1.29 rating across his tenure with the team.
Despite his strong individual output, however, the 21-year-old won just one title with Falcons — the IEM Cologne Major, where m0NESY also took home the MVP award after a fantastic individual performance.
With m0NESY 's future now set in stone, Falcons can set their sights on defending their Major crown in Singapore.
Their next tournament will come at the Thunderpick World Championship, set to begin on October 14, with IEM Beijing also on the team's calendar ahead of the Major.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Falcons Esports still has to answer for this: "The Russian sniper joined the Saudi organization in April 2025 in a blockbuster move and has averaged a 1.29 rating across his tenure with the team." That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.
