The online stage of BLAST Bounty Season 2 2026 starts today, the first S-Tier tournament on CS2's new map pool with Cache back. But the real story is who's missing: NAVI and defending champions PARIVISION, leaving the door open for Falcons.
100 Thieves eliminated reigning champions Falcons in their Tier 1 CS2 debut, coming back from 0-1 down. It's the second time in under two months that IGL Gizmy has beaten the same team, this time with a completely different roster.
The Falcons story after the first half of 2026 is no longer just about m0NESY and NiKo. The decisive shift came on April 20, 2026, when karrigan replaced kyxsan, and a few weeks later that move ended in a Major title.
A historic final at the Lanxess Arena is in the books. Team Falcons swept the Brazilian squad FURIA 3-0 in the grand final of IEM Cologne Major 2026. Nikola "NiKo" Kovač finally secured his long-awaited world championship, while m0NESY claimed the MVP award.
