Tournament host James “BanKs” Banks recently discussed the potential transfer of Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin to Team Falcons` CS2 roster. According to the British commentator, the organizations are reportedly close to finalizing an agreement for the young player to join Nikola “NiKo” Kovač`s team. Banks shared his thoughts on the All About Counter-Strike podcast on YouTube.
How much do you think Falcons will pay for kyousuke? M0NESY cost $600k, I think, in 2021. I believe kyousuke`s contract will cost $1.2 million. I hope they tell us how much he actually costs. … Team Spirit doesn`t really need such a large sum, but the club won`t give away a potential second donk for pennies. Especially considering he`ll immediately become a rival to your team. But how interesting it will be to watch a team with kyousuke, m0NESY, and NiKo under zonic`s leadership. … I would say the chance of kyousuke transferring to Falcons is 99%. Given everything I know, including from private conversations, it`s almost a done deal. It`s sad that there`s a player on the team – TeSeS or Magisk, but the rumor is it`s Magisk – who knows he`ll be replaced. This could affect his performance at the Major or even afterwards. I hope he still gives his maximum effort.
In early May, the portal Sheep Esports reported that kyousuke had signed a contract with Team Falcons and would join the squad following the conclusion of the current Major tournament. However, this insider report was quickly denied by the team`s sniper, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, who commented on the information by saying: “Source: trust me, bro.” Lukin himself later stated that he “dreams of playing for Spirit Academy.”
