The French organization Falcons has received its own series of collectible cards created from the most emotional moments of the season. These are not just memes — they are micro-stories about how the team lived through the toughest rounds of 2025. And now everyone can pick the one that best reflects the spirit of the roster.

Community analysts have prepared a series of six cards that capture the most dramatic and defining situations Falcons faced in different cities and at different tournaments. Each card is a snapshot of a moment that shaped the team’s tournament journey: from a lost advantage in Austin to a nerve-wracking round in Hong Kong.
These are not official stickers or branded materials but a fan-made format that quickly became popular on social media thanks to its accuracy, irony, and instantly recognizable episodes.

Falcon Cards: What’s Inside the Collection
- Austin 2025 — the round they should never have lost
The first card recalls a match where Falcons had full control but allowed the opponent to turn the round around. This moment became a symbol of all the small mistakes the team later had to fix throughout the season.
- Cologne 2025 — when individual plays break the structure
This card captures a scene where chaotic decisions and unlucky timing created a cascade of losses. These are the exact situations NiKo later described as “rounds the team must learn to survive together.”
- Riyadh 2025 — the A-site battle they couldn’t finish
An episode where Falcons stopped just short of a perfect hold. This moment became part of a long list of even rounds that slipped beyond the planned structure.
- Belgrade 2025 — complete collapse in communication
The card shows a round the team lost due to a lack of synchronization. Episodes like this later became the reason for rethinking internal communication.
- Chengdu 2025 — a story about map control
This card recreates a moment where Falcons played from map control but missed a crucial burst of aggression from the opponent. A symbol of the tournament where the team focused too much on results and lost the natural flow of the game.
- Hong Kong 2025 — smokes, timing, and another painful retake
One of the freshest examples of how a tiny misstep changes the entire round. In Hong Kong, Falcons looked much more confident, yet problematic episodes still followed the team.
Falcons in 2025: a team always close to the peak
This collection exists for a reason — Falcons played one of the most event-packed seasons in modern CS2. The team sits inside the world’s top 3, consistently performs on LAN, and with kyousuke’s arrival and m0NESY transitioning into the role of a key star player, the team’s structure has changed significantly.
Falcons have gone through:
- the BLAST Rivals Season 2 final
- top-3 at IEM Chengdu
- consistent semifinals at FISSURE Playground and EWC
- championship at PGL Bucharest 2025
At the same time, the Majors remain where the team has yet to fully unlock its potential — Stage 2 in Austin became a painful reminder that potential and realization can be two very different things.

Collectible Cards
Collectible cards are not just a humorous compilation. They are a way to capture the Falcons season in miniature: its falls, comebacks, close victories, and painful rounds. That’s why they attracted so much attention from fans and became a kind of “unofficial archive” of the team.
If you want, I can create a version of this article in the format of a short Telegram post, a long read, or with an additional analytical section about Falcons’ current form.
