Falcons will be the most active organization in the 2025 CS2 transfer market.

The Falcons benched Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen, Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković on November 21, just two days after the team was eliminated from Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR.

Additionally, the Falcons will not extend Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyljev's loan deal until 2025. This leaves only Emil "Magisk" Reif in the squad as Spanish AWPer Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia is still sitting reserve.

Analysts and fans were expecting this major shake-up as the Falcons failed to make any progress throughout 2024. Team head coach Danny "zonic" Sørensen announced that the changes would take place even before the European RMR debacle, so it's not like the players were surprised.

Snappi and maden have been part of the Falcons since December 2023 when they left ENCE along with SunPayus to join the Saudi-backed organization. On the other hand, Dupreeh has been playing for the Falcons since April. He was brought in to replace Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas after the Falcons missed the PGL Copenhagen Major.

The Falcons have a bunch of possibilities now as they benched everyone except Magisk. The organization has reportedly signed G2's star rifleman Nikola "NiKo" Kovač for 2025, and recent rumors say the Falcons are targeting G2 AWPer Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov and MOUZ's host is Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo.

However, it remains unclear whether the Falcons will pursue a new front-runner in the game. Magisk has a reputation as a formidable middle-round caller, so the organization could try making him a full-time IGL.

Although it will take a lot of work to rebuild the roster, the Falcons will have more than a month to plan their roster for 2025. Due to not participating in the Major, they have no more events to play in 2024.
