Falcons benched Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda

Bryan "Maka" Canda has been benched by the Falcons, the Saudi Arabian organization has tweeted. After standing in for the team for the previous eight months, the AWPer withdraws. 

Jayson "Kyojin" Nguyen Van, who has been out for the previous three months due to a hand injury, will make a cameo appearance in the game as a replacement while the squad "assesses the AWP role and future roster." Following their failure to qualify for the IEM Rio Major earlier this month, the French team has undergone changes. After falling to the Outsiders in the match that decided the last berth in the 2-2 pool, the Falcons were eliminated from the Europe RMR B tournament in ninth to eleventh place. In a little more than two months, this is their third roster overhaul.
