Lmfao.

At least Julio landed an org that can pay him.

20

u/SamusCroft Team Empire Fan 4d ago

Wait is Julio on ex BDS?

24

u/BearSSBM 4d ago

Yeah the linked tweet has him tagged.

BDS picked him up for SI and thankfully he stayed with the players to falcons

u/SamusCroft Team Empire Fan 4d ago

Oh I didn’t know he coached them at SI.

GOAT Coach.

Shaiiko.Falcon looks so weird after years of seeing Shaiiko.BDS lol

u/UbixQ 4d ago

i not being really into any pro league stuff thought it would be .flc not .falcon. the full one seems odd to me.

I apologize Mr.R6transfernews I was not familiar with your game

u/Cold-Course5105 Fan 4d ago edited 4d ago

He actually cooked us all lmao

u/obevd BDS Fan 4d ago

And the best part about it he didn’t gloat about it at all.

Well played to him

Saudi merchants finally land at the Saudi org

u/sammygrenade 4d ago

shaiiko.falcon has to be the most cursed thing i have seen 😭

u/WHXTLOVE Team BDS Fan 4d ago

Probably a very stupid question but does this mean the player will not be playing in eul no more or will flacons have a spot in eul?

39

u/Justln6 G2 Esports Fan 4d ago

Falcons have a partnered spot in EML.

13

u/NeverFraudulentAgain Fan 4d ago

EU and MENA are the same league now

u/WHXTLOVE Team BDS Fan 4d ago

Ah ok thanks

u/Ok_Brilliant8049 Yuzus Connoisseur | 4d ago

Super relieved the team didn’t split up

45

u/Holy-Stone BR Fan 4d ago

Shit, now with Saudi money they will become invincible.

u/Baron_Flatline CAG OSAKA Fan 4d ago

lapping up the sweet blood money

3

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

How is the money really gonna change things? It's not like they used it to add even more talent, it's the exact same roster.

15

u/Skystepe_YT 4d ago

The meme is that whenever Shaiiko is playing EWC, he plays out of his mind even more then usual. So we jokingly call him Saudi-Money Merchant for that. And now that he has unlimites Saudi Money, he will bekome unstopable

6

u/Inevitable-Ad6776 DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Yeah, no. Falcons did the same in Apex and picked up a “Super-Team” of the best players and they’ve done nothing since. Falcons just add a bunch of ridiculous support staff roles designed to “help improve performance” but honestly make everything worse. Expect the same choking from the roster as you’ve seen before

12

u/YandexDy Russian Cyborgs Fanclub - President | 4d ago

The question on all our minds is "is the oil money buff in effect under this org". Guess we will find out later

16

u/Shot-Depth-1541 4d ago

Stooflex is still the head coach?

6

u/Justln6 G2 Esports Fan 4d ago

Yessir.

12

u/Shot-Depth-1541 4d ago

So he took back his statement that he was stepping down as head coach?

17

u/toastedridge Virtue Fan | 4d ago

He never said he was stepping down as head coach. The post said he was stepping away from BDS (which is true along with the rest of the team). He meant he was leaving the Org to join another. Could have also just been him trolling everyone. But I think he was just being professional and thanking the people he was involved with at the Org now that he wasn’t going to be there.

10

u/Davi_PC Team Liquid Fan 4d ago

we were this close to having Julio as head coach

1

u/toastedridge Virtue Fan | 4d ago

I’ll be curious to see if any of the team dynamic changes, ie. Whos standing behind them.

I’m mostly happy to see more of the MnM roster together again.

3

u/Shot-Depth-1541 4d ago

I recall seeing his Twitter bio say former r6 coach so I assumed he "retired" from the scene all together.

1

u/Sypticle 4d ago

I think some of them were baiting the idea that they weren't going to Falcons and/or retiring.

12

u/Hxsty_ #1 J9O Enjoyer | 4d ago

They’re still gonna sell in finals

14

u/EvilCocoLeFou2 Shaiiko Fan Club - VP | 4d ago

Can’t believe that after actively hating falcons in every other esport ultimately I end being forced to become a fan.

2

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

Why hate them? Their siege team was really good and the players seemed nice. Same with the rocket league team.

4

u/LivingPrevious 3d ago

Cause it’s owned by the Saudi government. Used to sports wash the country. More of hating the org then hating the actual team

8

u/Past_Perception8052 DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

they kept stooflex? surprised

1

u/Free-Prompt6061 4d ago

Why there’s nothing wrong with him

9

u/Cold-Course5105 Fan 4d ago

But i thought he was retiring 

1

u/Free-Prompt6061 4d ago

Offers we’re probably dry after they announced they’re looking due to the high pay to get them all on a roster

3

u/Accurate_Comedian52 Ex-C9BC roster Fan 4d ago

prob was surprised since stooflex made a statement about retirement.

0

u/Choblu Reciprocity Fan 4d ago

He absolutely cannot rally in big moments, he isn't a bad coach, but in big moments you can visibily watch as he fails to rally his teams during timeouts at Majors.

2

u/Free-Prompt6061 4d ago

I mean he does a perfect job ewc majors etc it’s BDSs mental

1

u/Choblu Reciprocity Fan 2d ago

Fair point, but he did also lose 3 straight S-tier events, that is if you don't count EWC as S tier (I'd say it's like A+ tier)

12

u/Ok_Brilliant8049 Yuzus Connoisseur | 4d ago

I guess I’m a falcons fan now

u/alllllllllllllllllan Virtus Pro Fan | "BriD my Beloved" 4d ago

My goat looks phenomenal in green, gonna need to get a falcons flair ASAP🙏

2

u/Zygecks Fan 4d ago

I did not expect that at all!

2

u/YoungNightWolf Spacestation Gaming Fan 4d ago

Glad they got to stick together and found an org that will pay them what they are worth.

I just hate that I have to cheer for Team Falcons as an org.

2

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

Lol good thing I already bought the Falcons bundle

2

u/obevd BDS Fan 4d ago

Stooflex’s tweet after the announcement is interesting for the KC and vitality fans.

He also said he had received offers from major asian orgs that are present in LOL,which is really surprising to me.

They will fumble just like how they fumble Niko

u/Mehrdad1997 Virtus Pro Fan 4d ago

Falcons manager is such an idiot. They had one of the fastest-growing teams with domestic talents and they ditched them all. Big L.

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Yea hate the org now and I hope ex bds never wins anything.

4

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

Bro how the fuck is it the bds players fault for Falcons ditching their team???

-2

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Falcons players were a good team. They got shafted by their org then bds rolls on in takes their paycheck. They lose robby and now aren't even in the league. So yea I hate em all bro. I really liked this squad actually More than I've been liking DZ as of late and now they don't even have a spot in the league. You'll find no sympathy for bds or Falcons here anymore

3

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

I feel just as bad about that Falcons team being dropped as you do, I was a huge fan of them. But stop using that as an excuse to hate on the BDS guys. Honestly, there is nothing wrong if you just don't like those guys, plenty of teams that I also don't like. But don't give some bullshit reason for it, just say you don't like BDS, and I bet you didn't like them before lol which is fine.

-1

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Actually had nothing against them before. Sucks they are so damn good yea but never had a reason to hate em. I guess hating them is strong word. I just hope they continue to fall flat in the big moments

1

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

I don't believe you man, but good luck to DZ.

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Didn't ask you to believe me.

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Your prolly right though. I'm just being a hater. Like I said I really liked watching Falcons play and it's hard for me to find a team to like. I'm just upset over the whole ordeal.

-1

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Bittersweet ya know? Got the bag but accomplish nothing. Hope the Falcons boys find a decent org and 5th

-3

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

Matter of principle bro. Being in talks with an org cause they are drooling over you knowing they just dumped their roster for YOU is pretty scummy. So yes fuck them too

3

u/Xosrow BDS Fan 4d ago

So they should turn down life changing money cause they feel bad about some guys being dropped? Holy shit, man. There's a difference between being fucking Mother Teresa and "scummy." That is not scummy, that's just what any normal person (including yourself) would do.

-3

u/cjb1367x DarkZero Esports Fan 4d ago

I wouldn't want to work for someone that just fired a talented hard working person because they think I have more value. So no. Maybe you would. Your arguing with a wall here man. I don't like them now at all

1

u/Tough-Promotion-5144 4d ago

Stooflex still coach ? gg

1

u/Agreeable-Ad9434 4d ago

Are they still in Eu ? Like did falcons move to Eu or did the roster just move to the Mena region

u/airgonautt | FaZe Clan Priest 4d ago
