Sources: Falcons Pivot to Kismet After Missing Out on Sib and Ghosty

The Vegas Falcons are turning to Matthew "KiSMET" Tinsley as the final piece of their roster puzzle after falling short in their pursuit of AR stars Daunte "Sib" Gray and Daniel "Ghosty" Rothe, both of whom are now expected to land with Gentle Mates.

Sources say the Falcons were unwilling to meet the LA Thieves’ steep asking price for Ghosty. As for Sib, he reportedly had concerns about joining a roster that could replace him down the line with Breaking Point MVP Thomas "Scrap" Ernst once his contract with the Thieves expires, ultimately viewing the French organization as a more secure long-term fit.

While the Falcons may have missed on those targets, they’ve already secured a blockbuster signing in superstar AR McArthur "Cellium" Jovel. Now, in their search for his AR partner, the team has pivoted to former world champion KiSMET. Though best known as an SMG, Kismet is expected to transition into a flex role, a move Vegas believes will give them more firepower and versatility than many of the remaining AR options on the market.

With Cellium and Amer "Pred" Zulbeari potentially leading the charge, with Saud "Exnid" Alotai going into year two, the Falcons are betting on adaptability and experience to propel them into championship contention.
