Lately, one squad has been fumbling massively, and CS2 players\u00a0are thoroughly enjoying\u00a0it. Team Falcons assembled a\u00a0CS2\u00a0superteam by the end of 2023, bringing in ENCE core of Snappi, maden, and SunPayus, alongside Magisk, BOROS, and coach zonic. After falling short at the beginning of 2024, the team had to make some roster changes, and things aren't looking much\u00a0better,\u00a0since Falcons have won only two of their last\u00a010\u00a0series. These two\u00a0wins\u00a0were a 2-1 victory over Asian TYLOO at ESL Pro League Season 19 and a 13-8 victory at PGL Copenhagen\u00a0CS2\u00a0Major RMR over 3DMAX. In the meantime, Falcons lost against TheMongolz, BetBoom, G2 Esports, and even Metizport at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, where\u00a0they had s1mple as a stand-in. Their recent results were discussed on\u00a0Reddit\u00a0on May 14, with CS2 players loving Falcons' downfall. \"Yep, and I'm loving it. Eagerly waiting for\u00a0them\u00a0to dip below 10% [win rate recently],\" one player wrote. \"They have literally not won a single game against a noteworthy opponent,\" another added.\u00a0 The hate against Falcons is due to it being owned by Saudi Arabians. Many in the scene believe the owners invested a lot of money into the\u00a0CS2\u00a0squad, which is why players joined the team in the first place\u2014due to salary. \"Always love seeing Saudi sports washing taking an L,\" one poster wrote.\u00a0 Some fans even called Falcons a \"retirement home,\" given how the team is unable to achieve anything, yet veterans can earn tons of money in the organization. The squad is currently made of experienced players like Snappi, Magisk, and\u00a0dupreeh.\u00a0 Falcons are seemingly a major investment\u2014which isn't paying off so far\u2014and the org's players are aware of it. Back in February,\u00a0Magisk claimed the\u00a0CS2\u00a0format made it dangerous\u00a0for companies to enter the scene. Luckily for Falcons and many other competitors in the space, many tournament organizers are re-entering the scene in 2025, like\u00a0StarLadder.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cs2-maden-falcons.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2025"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1229710"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1229904,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710\/revisions\/1229904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1229800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1229710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1229710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Lately, one squad has been fumbling massively, and CS2 players\u00a0are thoroughly enjoying\u00a0it. Team Falcons assembled a\u00a0CS2\u00a0superteam by the end of 2023, bringing in ENCE core of Snappi, maden, and SunPayus, alongside Magisk, BOROS, and coach zonic. After falling short at the beginning of 2024, the team had to make some roster changes, and things aren't looking much\u00a0better,\u00a0since Falcons have won only two of their last\u00a010\u00a0series. These two\u00a0wins\u00a0were a 2-1 victory over Asian TYLOO at ESL Pro League Season 19 and a 13-8 victory at PGL Copenhagen\u00a0CS2\u00a0Major RMR over 3DMAX. In the meantime, Falcons lost against TheMongolz, BetBoom, G2 Esports, and even Metizport at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, where\u00a0they had s1mple as a stand-in. Their recent results were discussed on\u00a0Reddit\u00a0on May 14, with CS2 players loving Falcons' downfall. \"Yep, and I'm loving it. Eagerly waiting for\u00a0them\u00a0to dip below 10% [win rate recently],\" one player wrote. \"They have literally not won a single game against a noteworthy opponent,\" another added.\u00a0 The hate against Falcons is due to it being owned by Saudi Arabians. Many in the scene believe the owners invested a lot of money into the\u00a0CS2\u00a0squad, which is why players joined the team in the first place\u2014due to salary. \"Always love seeing Saudi sports washing taking an L,\" one poster wrote.\u00a0 Some fans even called Falcons a \"retirement home,\" given how the team is unable to achieve anything, yet veterans can earn tons of money in the organization. The squad is currently made of experienced players like Snappi, Magisk, and\u00a0dupreeh.\u00a0 Falcons are seemingly a major investment\u2014which isn't paying off so far\u2014and the org's players are aware of it. Back in February,\u00a0Magisk claimed the\u00a0CS2\u00a0format made it dangerous\u00a0for companies to enter the scene. Luckily for Falcons and many other competitors in the space, many tournament organizers are re-entering the scene in 2025, like\u00a0StarLadder.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cs2-maden-falcons.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2025"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1229710"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1229904,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229710\/revisions\/1229904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1229800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1229710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1229710"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1229710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
