NiKo Set to Join Falcons After Major

A Major Move: Will Falcons Finally Deliver for NiKo?

According to a report, G2’s superstar NiKo is on his way out of the team and is set to join another superteam in the making as the Falcons are ready to punch in his release clause.

Falcons are reportedly willing to activate NiKo’s $1.2 Million release clause after the Shanghai Major. G2 has already heavily invested in a team around NiKo, m0nesy, and huNter which has been working hard towards the Major. While the new roster has failed to bag anything significant, it is clear from their recent results that they are onto something.

NiKo was able to end G2’s long trophy drought by winning the Blast World Finals and followed it by adding prestigious honors like IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, and IEM Dallas to their cabinets. Despite all his glory, a Major trophy has always eluded NiKo in the most dramatic of ways which may have been his motivation towards joining Falcons.

Falcons previously tried acquiring NiKo and m0nesy but the star duo were persuaded by G2’s plans. NiKo’s motivation for joining G2 was his brother huNter but as things stand, his inconsistencies have cost them several tournaments. Throughout the inconsistencies for the roster, NiKo remained a solid performer who has always been a player to turn a game on its head.

Joining a start-studded Falcons roster is being teased at this point for NiKo, but they are no better than G2 regarding results. Falcon’s superteam has struggled to make a convincing run in any tournament they have participated in and whether getting NiKo is a solution to that problem, only time can tell.

NiKo would add firepower to the Falcons, something they are not particularly lacking but whether this might bring a stylistic change that could see the team become a tournament-winning side, is another story.
