After the official confirmation that he would replace kyxsan, community attention quickly shifted not only to the potential of the new roster, but also to how karrigan left FaZe. The story gained even more momentum after an episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hvEEv5eWT-c?si=kvJxh3MI66EBsopi\">HLTV Confirmed<\/a>, where Chad \u201cSPUNJ\u201d Burchill, Zvonimir \u201cProfesseur\u201d Burazin, and Milan \u201cStriker\u201d \u0160vejda broke down the move in detail.<\/p>\n<h3>Falcons finally go full win-now mode<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_386415\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-386415\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-386415\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW-300x214.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW-1024x732.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW-768x549.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBqKVb0AAgsxW-1536x1098.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-386415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright Falcons Esports Twitter accoun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The panel made it clear that there is no speculation here anymore \u2014 the transfer is fully confirmed. Falcons now feature NiKo, m0NESY, TeSeS, karrigan, with zonic as coach, and the move looks like the organization\u2019s final commitment to immediate results rather than long-term development. Professeur said the decision had made sense for a while:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>This is where Falcons should have been going a long time ago.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>The panel repeatedly noted that Falcons already had enough firepower, but lacked what matters most in playoffs \u2014 an experienced leader capable of bringing structure, confidence, and composure in big matches.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/pihl-showed-messages-with-an-offer-to-play-322\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Site_1738x800.png.webp\" alt=\"Pihl Showed Messages With an Offer to Play 322\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/pihl-showed-messages-with-an-offer-to-play-322\">Pihl Showed Messages With an Offer to Play 322<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/pihl-showed-messages-with-an-offer-to-play-322\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Apr 22<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Why karrigan fits Falcons<\/h3>\n<p>Striker explained that Falcons\u2019 issues were never about individual skill, but about team play in decisive moments. In his view, the roster needed a major leadership change, not just another player swap. Professeur also believes the move can help in the short term:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>I think it makes them better, but I don\u2019t think it solves all of the problems.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>That was an important nuance throughout the discussion. HLTV Confirmed did not present the signing as a perfect solution. Instead, they framed it as a high-risk move designed to immediately raise the team\u2019s ceiling before the next major events.<\/p>\n<h3>The biggest drama \u2014 how he left FaZe<\/h3>\n<p>The loudest reaction online came not from the transfer itself, but from comments about how karrigan exited FaZe. That segment quickly spread across X and Reddit. SPUNJ said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>None of the FaZe players have tweeted anything [about karrigan] because from what I understand, he left essentially without telling any of them.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>That quote fueled the narrative that karrigan had \u201cjumped off a sinking ship.\u201d Some fans saw it as a veteran making the smartest competitive move possible. Others viewed it as abandoning former teammates at a difficult time.<\/p>\n<h3>The community is deeply divided<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_386416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-386416\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-386416\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HGYBvJZbcAA6s6G-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-386416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright Falcons Esports Twitter accoun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Reaction on social media was sharply split. Many users defended the Danish IGL and reminded others how much he had done for FaZe. One post read:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>He doesn\u2019t owe them shit. For many karrigan was FaZe for the longest time.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>FaZe kicked NEO &amp; rain without talking to karrigan. I dont blame him for leaving.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many also argued that almost anyone in his position would accept an offer to join a roster with NiKo, m0NESY, and immediate title potential. But criticism was just as strong. Some replies included:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>Wow you really wouldn\u2019t think he\u2019d do something so spineless.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Falcons themselves also received backlash, with part of the community still viewing the organization as one of the most controversial superteams in Counter-Strike.<\/p>\n<h3>HLTV Confirmed understands the decision<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the drama, the panel did not seem surprised by karrigan\u2019s choice. They repeatedly emphasized that from a purely competitive perspective, the move is easy to understand. FaZe are in crisis, their future is unclear, while Falcons offer karrigan the chance to lead one of the most talented rosters in the world immediately. Professeur summarized it simply:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>It\u2019s a dream scenario.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/iem-cologne-major-2026-rosters-locked-all-32-teams\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/55172321719_875880fb79_h-2-4.webp\" alt=\"ESL reveals IEM Cologne Major 2026 rosters: all 32 teams locked in\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/iem-cologne-major-2026-rosters-locked-all-32-teams\">ESL reveals IEM Cologne Major 2026 rosters: all 32 teams locked in<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/iem-cologne-major-2026-rosters-locked-all-32-teams\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776909902#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Apr 23<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What happens next<\/h3>\n<p>In the end, this is more than just another roster move. For Falcons, it is a statement that they want trophies now. For FaZe, it is another painful sign that a rebuild is becoming unavoidable.
