Rumours are swirling around Counter-Strike 2’s newest prodigy, Maidar “nocries” B., as fans begin to wonder if he could be the next name to join Team Falcons’ star-studded lineup.

The speculation started after a recent interview with content creator 666unique666 that was shared by CS2 News on X, where the 18-year-old FACEIT sensation casually talked about his dream lineup, one that included big names like kyousuke and m0NESY,  on X, and it quickly blew up, with fans connecting dots that might not even exist yet.

It didn’t take long before the replies were full of wild theories. One user joked, “yeah. sure. why not. -kyxsan +nocries NiKo to IGL turn Falcons to NiKo and his Russian children.” Others pushed back, calling it “fake hype” or saying Falcons are being linked to everyone these days.

From FACEIT Grind to FPL Fame

The attention isn’t random. Just days ago, FACEIT officially cleared nocries of any wrongdoing after a full integrity investigation, ending weeks of suspicion about his sudden rise to the top of the North American leaderboard.

That deep-dive review confirmed that nocries, who has Buryatia roots and Mongolian heritage, plays clean and earned his way up fair and square. The review even included supervised LAN matches at FACEIT’s New York office, where his stats matched his online results. He’s now been granted an indefinite FPL invite, letting him compete with professional players on a regular basis.

All of that makes the Falcons talk sound a little less far-fetched. After all, this is the same organisation that dropped big money to bring together NiKo, m0NESY, kyxsan, TeSeS, and kyousuke earlier this year. If anyone could afford to take a chance on a raw but proven talent, it’s them.

“I’ve Never Played a Pro Tournament — Yet”

In the same interview, nocries admitted he’s never played a professional Counter-Strike tournament, but that hasn’t stopped him dreaming big.

“I’d love to play alongside players like m0NESY and kyousuke. They’ve got insane potential,” he said. “But for now, I just want to reach the top of HLTV with my team someday — that’s my biggest goal.”

The interview also revealed a lot about his mindset. He started playing when he was just 11, grinding thousands of hours before ever touching FACEIT. When people accused him of cheating, he said he understood their doubts, and used them as motivation.

Fans Split Over the Possibility

Online reactions have been all over the place. Some fans think adding nocries could give Falcons even more firepower, while others say it’s too soon to throw an untested rookie into such a high-pressure roster.

Still, with Falcons known for surprise moves and nocries now proven legit, the timing couldn’t be better for at least a trial run. Whether the team makes a move or not, the hype shows just how fast this young player has become a name everyone’s talking about in CS2.
