Mauisnake names the culprit behind Team Falcons defeat at BLAST Bounty Winter 2026

Alex “Mauisnake” Ellenberg believes that Team Falcons lost the grand final of the BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 Counter-Strike 2 tournament due to Matej “Nucleonz” Trajkovski's lack of preparation.

The analyst shared this opinion on Twitch.

“Considering how close the final was... I know the Falcons players don't want to hear or even think about it, but they would have won this tournament with Kyousuke. I think they would have done it. It was very noticeable that Nucleonz was not ready for this level of play.”

According to Alex “Mauisnake” Ellenberg, if Maxim “Kyousuke” Lukin had played for the team, Team Falcons would have been able to beat PARIVISION in the BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 grand final. It is worth noting that the team announced a temporary replacement shortly before the tournament due to visa issues for Maxim “Kyousuke” Lukin.

We would like to remind you that during BLAST Bounty Winter 2026, coach Danny “Zonic” Sorensen also temporarily left Team Falcons.
