Team Falcons player NiKo commented on the hype surrounding the young Team Spirit Academy player kyousuke Lukin.
[Question: `What about kyousuke? I mean not the rumors, but in general – have you been watching him? There`s so much talk now that he`ll be the new star. Have you managed to see a little of what he`s about?`]
Yes, questions about him catch us off guard. I am 100% sure that Falcons is not the only organization that has tried to talk to him or lure him from Spirit Academy. I don`t fully know what exactly is happening between Falcons and Spirit. I`m not involved in that. Their task is to assemble the strongest possible roster. As far as I understand, things haven`t gone too far yet. I can`t say much, but I know for sure: nothing related to kyousuke will happen in the near future.
[Question: `Have you managed to observe him as a player? To understand what he is like?`]
Yes, definitely. I`m watching him. I follow how he plays, what roles he takes, how he develops. I think no one doubts that he is currently the main young star on the scene. I don`t want to say that he will be the next donk, because he still has a lot to prove. Donk has set some crazy standards. Let`s see, but kyousuke definitely has a great future.
Wherever he ends up, I`m sure it will be a top team. In a way, he reminds me a bit of myself – in terms of shooting style, in the desire to make flashy frags, one-taps. It`s cool to watch. And in general, he shows incredible skill and understanding of the game for his age. You watch – and it seems that he doesn`t even need much help, he already knows everything.
Maybe it`s just that Spirit Academy works so well – teaching players how to play CS correctly, and that`s why they have such a successful roster. Respect to Spirit Academy, and to him personally – for how quickly kyousuke learns. Very impressive. I`m looking forward to when he breaks into tier-1.
Earlier, rumors circulated online that kyousuke might become a new Falcons player, but the team`s coach zonic Sorensen has denied this information.
