Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas were already signed, while Emil "Magisk" Reif has been linked with a move to the organization for some time. The real surprise in today’s announcement was the two ENCE players Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia and Pavle "maden" Bošković. Both of them were rumored to join Heroic, where their former coach Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha was announced earlier today.

{cflag:JO} Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas, {cflag:RO} Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea, and {cflag:PL} Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak have just been announced as new Falcons players.

The three players join the team from Monte, Sprout, and Endpoint. Falcons, A Saudi-Arabian esports organization made the decision earlier this year to sway away from an all-French roster, where Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was part of the lineup, that failed to qualify for the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

{cflag:FR} Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro, and {cflag:FR} Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt will continue on the team, where they will guarantee experience and leadership qualities, according to HLTV, who has talked with the organization following the announcement.

- The goal of our teams has always been about qualifying to, and then performing at, a Major. This year ahead will be no different and our sights are set on producing some results at Copenhagen next spring. We’ve also looked to design this team with CS2 in mind. We think there’s a smart balance of creativity and aggression, but also discipline and work rate that we believe will be the necessary attributes to start off strong in CS2. We’ll have to see if that pays off, the organization of Falcons told HLTV.

Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas will no longer be a part of the starting lineup for the newly established team Monte. The 18-year-old announced on his Twitter, that he will no longer be a part of this team, as he is therefore benched by Monte and will be open to playing for both American and European teams.

The young and promising Jordanian has only played for the Ukrainian organization since July 2022, but will for now stay under contract until next year, which means that the 18-year-old is still a part of the Monte squad. The rifle has been averaging a 1.14 rating throughout his time with Monte, and helped the team to qualify for the IEM Road to Rio 2022, but Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen took his spot at the team doing the qualifier.

Endpoint has removed the 18-year-old Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas from their active roster, the British organization has announced on Twitter. In an official statement, Endpoint explains that it’s due to the Jordanian wishing to seek new opportunities after a 9-month spell with the team. 

- Mohammad has expressed a desire to consider and pursue opportunities elsewhere and we do not want to restrict this against the player's wishes. Mohammad has been a great player and contributed greatly to the recent success of the team. We are open to any enquiries from anybody looking to secure the services of Mohammad. We will have more news regarding additions to our lineup in the near future, Endpoint wrote on Twitter. 

With the news of BOROS' benching and possible exit from Endpoint, IGL and captain Max "MiGHTYMAX" Heath lose arguably his strongest weapon on the server. Throughout 2022, BOROS has averaged an impressive 1.14 Rating and carried the team on several occasions, showcasing his strong imposing abilities and potential as an upcoming top-tier rifler.

Endpoint will field the former Sprout player Sabit "mirbit" Coktasar at IEM Fall, the British-based organization has revealed on Twitter. The decision to bring in the German international comes after Endpoint yesterday announced that Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas wasn’t able to travel to Stockholm with team, due to Visa issues.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"endpoint-talent-miss-iem-fall-due-visa-issues","isNewTab":true}]

The absence of BOROS forced them to announce their newly appointed head coach, Allan Hender as a new fifth. However, with the loan deal of mirbit, Hender can stick to the coaching aspect of the game.

The Brits from Endpoint will not be able to field Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas at the upcoming IEM Fall, the organization reveals on Twitter. The team explains that they have been unable to acquire a Visa for the Jordanian youngster in time for him to compete at the event.

In the statement, Endpoint informs that the replacement for BOROS will be their head coach, Allan Hender, who only arrived at the team last week.

- Although we have a contracted academy team to try and avoid such issues, Valve has such a strict policy in place regarding substitutions that we are left with no choice but to field our non-playing (and newly appointed) coach, Allan Hender as our 5th player, Endpoint write in their statement.

In a Reddit post five days ago, Endpoint's Community Manager said the following about Hender and his Counter-Strike levels: 

- He has never been a pro player, no. (I think he's level 2 on FACEIT lol). But unless he's going to have to sub into the team - which hopefully (touch wood) he never will - it's not about whether you can do it so much as long as you can teach it, tomtom_94 wrote on Reddit.

The absence of BOROS will be a huge blow for Endpoint, as the 17-year-old has been putting up some insane numbers and stats lately. In the last 30 days, BOROS has averaged a stellar 1.18 Rating and a likewise impressive 87.0 ADR. The young rifler joined the team last month in a two-year deal, transferring from NASR.

Endpoint's first match at IEM Fall will be tomorrow at 20:15 (CET), where they take on the dominant Danes from Astralis in the opening round.

Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas from Endpoint might be the next big thing in CS:GO, with the Jordanian rifler already having secured a spot at a Top 30 team in the world, despite his modest age of 17 years. The promising youngster was brought in by Endpoint at the start of August this year, and he has been firing on all cylinders so far on the British team. In the first month on Endpoint, BOROS has averaged a great 1.14 Rating / 86.3 ADR score. 

In a match at Pinnacle Fall Series 1 against AGO, the 17-year-old talent decided to equip the dualies in the second pistol round on Inferno - Something, he didn't regret. Because with two pistols in his hands, BOROS dismantled the entire enemy team in a beautiful ace. The play might create a new trend where more and more pros decide to buy the dualies. 

Endpoint found themselves in the need of a fifth and final member for their roster after British William "mezii" Merriman left the organization to join "ALEX" in fnatic's new-look international roster. With "mezii" being such a unique player, however, it has been difficult to find a 1-1 replacement, and their new signing is definitely not one that people would have expected. Seeking to fill the shoes of "mezii" is the young Jordanian Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas. 

Joining from the Middle Eastern side NASR the youngster "BOROS" has had little experience in the professional CS:GO scene. However, he has made a name for himself by being one of the top performers on the platform called FACEIT, being only 17-years-old. It is clear that signing "BOROS" is a risk and one that is meant for the future of Endpoint. 

Whilst the sample size of data from "BOROS" is small, the Head Coach of Endpoint states that the young prospect fits the philosophy of the team perfectly and that his aggressive playstyle is something that they have been looking for: 

"Our preference is to look for players whose propensity for risk taking is high as it's easier to reign an aggressive player in than it is to try to get a passive one to do the opposite and BOROS falls into a pool of absurdly aggressive players which is something that excites everyone."

Endpoint is currently ranked 22 in the official HLTV rankings. The new-look Endpoint roster looks as follows: 

	30 days	90 days
Fixture count	0	0
Maps count	0	0
