NiKo Comments on karrigan Rumors and Evaluates Falcons’ Form

Rifler of Team Falcons, Nikola NiKo Kovač, shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of Finn karrigan Andersen and addressed long-standing rumors about a conflict between them.

Earlier, on April 12, insider Sebastien 'KRL' Perez reported that the FaZe Clan captain could join Falcons. Kovač indicated that he does not have information about Andersen’s future and is not willing to comment on any transfer-related details. At the same time, he made it clear that the widely discussed narrative about a rift between them is not true. According to NiKo, despite what happened in 2018, there are no hard feelings between him and karrigan.

It is worth recalling that both players competed together in FaZe Clan in 2018, before Andersen was benched. At the time, the community speculated that Kovač was the one who initiated the move. These assumptions were later effectively confirmed by the club’s founder, Thomas 'Temper' Oliveira.

NiKo also shared his perspective on Falcons’ recent performances. He described the season as somewhat unusual due to inconsistent results, noting that the team lost two consecutive tournaments to PARIVISION. He suggested that the squad has not yet been fully tested against the strongest opposition. While acknowledging that PARIVISION are currently one of the best teams in the world, Kovač admitted that Falcons themselves have not reached the desired level of performance.

He added that the team has lacked matches against top-tier opponents such as Team Vitality, MOUZ, FURIA, and Natus Vincere. In his view, these matchups are essential to properly evaluate Falcons’ current level. Kovač emphasized that he is particularly looking forward to a potential playoff clash against Vitality, stressing that the team is focused on its own performance rather than the opponent’s achievements.

In conclusion, NiKo noted that Falcons are not yet playing at a level high enough to consistently compete for trophies, although the team remains determined to improve.
