Esports analyst Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields asserted that Team Falcons no longer deserves a place among the top three teams in the global rankings. The team has failed to reach a single tournament final throughout the current season.

“The problem is that right now they do not even deserve fourth or third place. This season the team has not yet reached a final. kyousuke does not perform as well in the playoffs as he would like to, NiKo loses form after the group stage, and karrigan still shoots terribly. Actually, it is quite a problematic team,” Thorin said.

Thorin highlighted NiKo for inconsistent performances following the group stage of tournaments. He also criticized karrigan over poor killing efficiency and weak individual shooting metrics.

Additionally, analyst comments indicated that young prospect kyousuke fails to deliver desired results during playoff stages. These compounding individual issues prevent the roster from competing consistently for premier titles.
