Kyousuke declined Team Spirit's main roster offer
Team Spirit intended to promote kyousuke to the main CS2 roster, but the player declined the offer.
HLTV.org’s editor-in-chief Zvonimir “Professeur” Burazin revealed that Maksim “kyousuke” Lukin turned down a chance to join the main lineup of Team Spirit. Speaking on the HLTV Confirmed podcast, he explained that kyousuke opted to sign with Team Falcons instead, motivated by the opportunity to play alongside Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov.

“There were rumors that Team Spirit didn’t plan to keep kyousuke, but based on recent conversations, it seems the club actually wanted to move him to the main lineup, and he declined — he chose to go to Falcons.
SPUNJ: ‘He'll earn more in Falcons.’
Yes, but from what I heard, it was more about playing with NiKo and m0NESY. I don’t know every detail, but as I understand it, kyousuke believed joining Falcons was the better move — better than staying in Spirit.”
On June 23, Team Falcons officially announced the signing of kyousuke. He replaced Emil “Magisk” Reif, who was moved to the bench. The club’s founder confirmed that the player's buyout was significant, though it was reportedly well below the $2 million mark.
Meanwhile, rumors suggest that Team Spirit is also considering further changes to its CS2 roster. HLTV.org sources claim that the club is evaluating Ivan “zweih” Gogin from Nemiga Gaming as a potential addition.
