Report: NBK- and misutaaa to join Falcons

Nathan “⁠NBK-⁠” Schmitt and Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier are on the verge of signing for French side Falcons, according to a report from 1pv.fr. They will reportedly be replacing Nicolas “⁠Keoz⁠” Dgus and Jayson “⁠Kyojin⁠” Nguyen Van on the roster.

The squad, who signed for the Falcons organisation back in February, achieved a reasonable amount of success in the first part of 2022, securing victories at the French ESL National Championship and ESL Challenger League Season 41 and peaking at No. 27 in the world rankings.

Two-time Major winner NBK- would bring immense experience to Falcons

They did however struggle to kick on against better quality opposition, failing to qualify for Pro League through the EPL Conference Season 16 and falling to MOUZ at Global Esports Tour Dubai.

Originally Falcons had targeted François “⁠AMANEK⁠” Delaunay to join the team alongside NBK-, according to the report, but he instead joined LDLC. As for misutaaa, he was due to join Evil Geniuses as part of their off-season rebuild, but the North American organisation turned elsewhere when it became apparent they would need to utilise a loophole in the Major rulebook to be able to play in the Americas RMR should the Frenchman join.

NBK- arrives with a wealth of tier-one experience under his belt, having won two Majors and 22 top-flight LANs in CS:GO. His most recent venture was a short-lived stint with MOUZ where he was quickly benched in March in favour of Jon “⁠JDC⁠” de Castro.

misutaaa also brings with him extensive top-level game time, having spent nearly two-and-a-half years with Vitality and winning three events in that period. He was reportedly already on the chopping block in Vitality following a string of disappointing results dating back to the start of the year, which saw the Frenchmen average a 0.93 rating; Vitality were reported to be lining up Lotan “⁠Spinx⁠” Giladi as a replacement.
