CS2 Roster Changes After the Budapest Major 2025: Spirit, NAVI, and Falcons Most Likely to Make Moves

The CS2 roster shuffle season is approaching fast after the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, and well-known streamer and analyst Oleg “RachelR” Tyurkaev believes several top-tier teams are almost guaranteed to make changes. Speaking on his Twitch stream, RachelR shared blunt opinions on Team Spirit, NAVI, Falcons, and other elite rosters.

Below is a ranking of teams most likely to make roster changes, based on RachelR’s statements and already confirmed roster history.

 1. Team Spirit — Highest Chance of Roster Changes

According to RachelR, Team Spirit are the most likely team to make changes, with the spotlight firmly on rifler Ivan “zweih” Gogin.

“I think Spirit will definitely have changes. Objectively speaking, zweih isn’t pulling his weight.” — RachelR

RachelR also suggested that Boris “magixx” Vorobiev could return to the active lineup, despite being benched earlier in 2025.

Context:

zweih officially joined Spirit in July 2025

magixx was moved to the bench

tN1R replaced zont1x later in the season

Notably, zweih himself addressed criticism after Spirit’s playoff run, saying the pressure that affected him for months had finally lifted — and that he felt he showed his true level at the Major.

Despite that, RachelR remains unconvinced, making Spirit the clear No.1 candidate for roster moves.

2. NAVI — High Probability of Changes

RachelR also expects NAVI to make adjustments, arguing that the team overperformed at the Major relative to expectations.

He questioned the long-term future of:

Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi

Head coach Andrii “B1ad3” Gorodenskyi

This aligns with earlier public statements from B1ad3, who previously admitted that failure to reach Major playoffs would force NAVI to consider changes — whether in roles, structure, or personnel.

While no official moves are confirmed, NAVI entering a restructuring phase would not be surprising.

3. Team Falcons — Medium to High Chance

RachelR was particularly harsh when discussing Team Falcons, directly naming René “TeSeS” Madsen as the weak link.

“TeSeS definitely needs to be removed — it’s complete absurdity.” — RachelR

Falcons have faced constant criticism throughout 2025 for inconsistency at LAN events, and roster rumors have surrounded the team for months. While nothing is confirmed, Falcons remain a realistic candidate for at least one lineup change.

4. FURIA — Low Chance of Changes

Unlike the teams above, FURIA received a relatively positive assessment from RachelR.

He implied that the Brazilian squad should remain stable, with no urgent need for roster moves following the Major.

5. Team Vitality — Almost No Chance

As Budapest Major 2025 champions, Team Vitality are expected to keep their roster intact.

RachelR sees no scenario where Vitality would consider changes after winning the biggest tournament of the season — a view shared by most analysts in the CS2 scene.

Final Takeaway

RachelR’s comments don’t confirm transfers — but they set the narrative for the upcoming CS2 roster shuffle:

Most likely to change:

1. Team Spirit

2. NAVI

3. Team Falcons

Most likely to stay intact:

• Team Vitality

• FURIA

With the off-season approaching, Spirit’s situation around zweih and magixx stands out as the key storyline to watch.
