Falcons has officially confirmed the addition of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač to their Counter-Strike 2 roster.
The news was announced in an X (formerly Twitter) post by the official Falcons Esports handle, accompanied by a video welcoming the 27-year-old to the team.
“Really happy to get the best rifler on board this team,” Falcons head coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen said in a statement. “Hopefully one day I am right behind him when he lifts that major trophy.”
This move marks the end of an era as NiKo bids farewell to G2 esports after a remarkable four-year journey with the organization.
During his time with G2, NiKo enjoyed significant success, securing six big titles and earning an MVP award at IEM Cologne, solidifying his legacy as one of the best players in the Counter-Strike scene.
At Falcons, NiKo will join forces with Emil “Magisk” Reif and three yet-to-be-revealed teammates, with the ultimate goal of securing his first Major title.
Fans can catch the new Falcons roster in action when they make their debut at the upcoming BLAST Bounty on January 12, 2025.
