kyousuke will miss the NRG match due to visa issues

Player of Falcons, Maksim kyousuke Lukin, will not fly to the opening match of BLAST Open Spring 2026 against NRG. The Saudi organization has run into visa restrictions, and now his participation in the entire tournament is in doubt.

Once again, the academy player of Falcons, Matej Nucleonz Trajkoski, has been called up to help. The Macedonian has already stood in for kyousuke once — in January at BLAST Bounty Winter 2026, which the Russian also missed due to a visa.

Back then in Malta, the lineup with Nucleonz reached the final, defeating Liquid and Vitality, but lost to PARIVISION on three maps.

BLAST Open Spring 2026 will be the first event for Falcons after PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by PARIVISION. The match against NRG the team will start with the following lineup:

Nikola NiKo Kovač
Ilya m0NESY Osipov
René TeSeS Madsen
Damjan kyxsan Stoilkovski
Matej Nucleonz Trajkoski
