Sources: Riyadh Falcons Closing In on Kremp and Sib to Round Out Roster

Riyadh Falcons explored options with Thomas "Scrap" Ernst and Paco "HyDra" Rusiewiez this offseason but couldn't convince the pair to join the project. They also made a run at the FaZe Vegas trio set to depart the organization, but were outbid by the Paris Gentle Mates, whose three open roster spots made it the more attractive landing spot.

Sources indicate the Falcons are now in negotiations to sign Kyle "Kremp" Haworth and Daunte "Sib" Gray, a duo that's reportedly been looking to team up all offseason. Kremp also has an offer from M80 Boston on the table, which could shake things up. Riyadh had also considered Jeremiah "Nium" Harrison, but with Kremp said to prefer playing alongside Sib specifically, the organization is focused on making that pairing happen instead.

As it stands, Saud "Exnid" Alotai is expected to be removed from the starting lineup barring a last-minute change, which isn't anticipated. Sources tell us this isn't the end of the Saudi project at the organization, but rather a temporary pause.

Management has also shown interest in bringing in Saud "qk4b" Alotaibi, though that reportedly isn't a move the current roster is on board with. The Kremp & Sib additions would have to be approved by higher management, but the story will continue to rapidly develop.
