Team Falcons has signed Finn “karrigan” Andersen from FaZe. The Danish in-game leader takes over from Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski, who was benched on the same day.
Kyxsan was removed from the active roster following Falcons’ run at IEM Rio, where the team finished in third place. The benching came earlier on Monday, a few hours before the karrigan announcement.
Karrigan confirmed the move himself on X. He said he is joining the Falcons and reconnecting with NiKo and coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen, describing them as “old brothers.”
A Reunion With NiKo and Zonic
Karrigan and NiKo played together at FaZe from 2017 to 2018. During those two years, the pair won seven titles together. Karrigan also played under zonic at some point, and the Dane referenced both by name in his post.
Zonic currently coaches the Falcons. The reunion now puts three familiar faces in the same setup.
Falcons’ Grand Final Problem
Falcons signed the core of HEROIC in January 2025. Since then, the team has reached seven grand finals. Karrigan steps in to lead a roster that has had no shortage of firepower but has struggled to close out tournaments.
The current Falcons lineup is:
- NiKo
- TeSeS
- m0NESY
- kyousuke
- karrigan
- zonic
Karrigan’s departure leaves FaZe without their long-serving IGL. His former teammates at FaZe include frozen, Twistzz, broky, and jcobbb. The team is currently ranked 14th on HLTV, while Falcons sit at 5th.
