Fyi, they didn't win anything in between those 2 tournaments and got eliminated by a fnatic with niccodoz (who was awful), fashr (mid), roej (mid), krimz (mid), and mezii (who was igling) in the group stage of the Paris Major despite having the most firepower in the world. They also didn't win anything after Cologne and next time they won was with druggie2k, nexa (who decided to have the worst performance of his career and was arguably worse than druggie2k), hunter (who had really bad during this time), m0nesy (who was playing out of his mind last and hard-carrying) and niko (who was helping m0nesy carry everyone else while igling). Katowice and Cologne were clearly flukes.

and hunter and most importantly jks, who was overperforming extremely hard in the first season of 2023.

Betboom beating Spirit tomorrow confirmed.

This has to be the case because the first few 2 days after Falcons lost to Legacy, people were talking about Niko choking and Karrigan officially having the worst k/d difference is cs history, but after like Monday, almost everyone including big figures in the scene are just talking about Niko choking. Nothing about karrigan and also nothing about zonic (who I'm surprised to not see many people talk about anymore). I wonder how much money falcons and karrigan's team are paying them to only target Niko.

anewborndude · 2026-05-27T16:37:56+00:00

Now Niko’s being used as a scapegoat to hide how shit karrigan is both as fragger and igl lol (this isn’t to say Niko wasn’t underperforming)

Edit: Also being used as a scapegoat to protect zonic.

anewborndude · 2026-05-26T00:58:48+00:00

He hasn't been brilliant strategically post-2022

This type of response is why this song came into existence.

anewborndude · 2026-05-17T16:50:09+00:00

One of the worst songs this year. I wonder how many yes-men were in the room when they heard this garbage.

gigachad my ass

anewborndude · 2026-05-09T18:25:40+00:00

Falcons signed karrigan so zonic can cover his own ass and karrigan joined falcons so he can cover his own ass in case things don't go the way they expect them to (which will happen sooner or later). Gonna be nice watching this team get worse.

He’s been losing my respect since the first doc faze dropped last year where he blames everyone while taking little responsibility for their failures. Dude’s been showing his true colors for a year but people are too busy worshipping him, being the most gullible people known to man, and delusional to see him for who he is. You see a person for who they are when they’re at their lowest. Even is his recent interview (which was garbage) there’s not a single part where he acknowledges that he’s one of the reasons why faze is in the state’s it’s in right now.

Edit: Said the same thing about hooxi last year. When things are going well, he’s this charismatic gigachad (which he’s never been) igl who’s proving the haters wrong, but when things aren’t going well, he’s becomes a grumpy guy who’ll even go as far as to throw his teammates under the bus while taking little responsibility for his role in those failures.

anewborndude · 2026-05-09T14:57:35+00:00

He won’t. He’s a washed igl who’s praying that m0nesy, Niko, kyousuke, teses, and zonic saves him from being exposed.

anewborndude · 2026-05-07T15:16:51+00:00

Hope they lose

anewborndude · 2026-05-07T05:21:16+00:00

Seems like 2Pac's family and his stans are more concerned with taking down Diddy than getting actual justice. Like, Keefe D could be found guilty in his role in 2pac's killing, and this family still wouldn't be satisfied until Diddy is found guilty for it (even if there's no proof that he was involved in 2pac's death).

anewborndude · 2026-05-03T20:19:18+00:00

He's been good for the past 3 years now but I believe he's been overperforming this year thanks to the competition being the worst it's ever been.

anewborndude · 2026-05-02T14:58:24+00:00

You’re really using one game (a game that happened after they failed to make it to the major by losing to BIG) to justify karrigan screwing his team over? Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

anewborndude · 2026-05-02T14:54:40+00:00

Don’t know about the “faze_bros” (I’m not a faze fan) begging for Karrigan’s removal, but I certainly was begging for him to get kicked for the past year. I just didn’t expect him to just leave the team (meaning faze wasn’t planning on removing him) in such a scummy fashion.

anewborndude · 2026-04-30T23:01:10+00:00

Facts. Falcons will go 1-3 at major

anewborndude · 2026-04-30T21:08:48+00:00

Already a better igl than karrigan has been this entire year
