Coach Spirit Academy confirmed that Kyousuke was sitting on the bench


The coach of Spirit Academy, Dmitriy "S0TF1K" Forostyanko, has confirmed that the 17-year-old young player Maksim "Kyousuke" Lukin-who is considered one of the promising stars of Counter-Strike 2 village-has been taken down the bench since June 1.
This decision was made after a series of rumors from experts about Kyousuke's possibility that it would switch to team Falcons after the Blast.tv Austin Major tournament. According to the coach, Kyousuke is currently focusing on health care, while Spirit Academy organizes the selection of replacement in the main squad to ensure stability before the upcoming important tournaments.
Detailed details
According to coach Dmitriy, Kyousuke stopped practicing with the main squad from June 1 to focus on recovery. This decision was made after the discussion with the player and the medical team, with the goal of ensuring that he could recover completely. Currently, the team is actively seeking replacement to maintain competitiveness when important matches are approaching.
Dmitriy "s0tf1k" forostyanko shared:
"About the main squad: We organized test sessions to find the replacement of Maksim, because he was taken down on the bench since June 1 to focus on health care."
Ranked rumors to Falcons
Earlier, there was information that Team Falcons had reached an agreement with Spirit to recruit Kyousuke. According to some sources, this deal will only be completed after the end of the Austin Major. At the same time, veteran player Emil "Magisk" Reif is expected to leave the squad to make room for young Russian talents.
These rumors are strengthened when many sources close to the two organizations confirm that negotiations are still happening and the final decision will be released after the tournament.

Notably, Kyousuke no longer practiced with the team - this raised the question he was about to join Falcons. Meanwhile, Spirit Academy is testing a player named "Mazay", making the community more confident in the transfer is in the sprint stage.
The absence of Kyousuke may significantly affect the tactics and performance of Spirit Academy in the near future. However, this is also an opportunity for other young talents to express themselves and score points in the eyes of the coaching staff.
