The scene for Counter-Strike 2 experienced a significant change as Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, the young Russian AWPer, has now officially become part of Team Falcons, putting an end to all speculations surrounding the m0NESY-Falcons situation.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled about this move that brings back my old teammate, Nikola “NiKo” Kovač. It’s clear that the Falcons are sending a strong message: they’re here to rule the CS:2 scene!
m0NESY to Falcons: A $2.5 Million Power Play
In an apparent show of determination, the Falcons are said to have splurged approximately $2.5 million to recruit m0NESY. This deal follows closely on the heels of the Falcons’ triumph at PGL Bucharest 2025 where they bagged their inaugural CS2 championship title.
Notably, instead of Abdul “degster” Gasanov, who won the MVP title in that same competition, m0NESY stepped into the lineup.
m0NESY Reuniting with NiKo
This move isn’t merely about large sums of money; instead, it’s about bringing back the formidable team pairing that was once part of G2. M0NESY and NiKO had previously played together before.
It’s clear that they work exceptionally well together, and spectators are excited to witness if they can repeat their previous successes while flying under the Falcons flag.

m0NESY to Falcons: Strategic Timing
G2’s choice to part ways with m0NESY wasn’t solely financially driven. Given that his contract was due to end in late 2025, G2 was confronted with the potential of losing him without any compensation.
As a devoted G2 fan, I can’t help but acknowledge that this move to sell him now is strategically sound, as it brings in a significant transfer fee and grants them ample time to restructure the roster ahead of the next season. However, it’s undeniably a bittersweet moment for us fans who have grown attached to his skills on the field.
Community Reactions
Amongst members of the CS2 community, there’s a lot of buzz and varied responses. On Reddit, enthusiasts show a blend of enthusiasm and doubt. Some are elated by the prospect of m0NESY and NiKo reuniting, whereas others voice concerns about replacing degster after his MVP display.
Regardless, it’s agreed upon by many: Falcons are creating a stir, and everyone will be eagerly watching their matches in upcoming competitions.
m0NESY to Falcons: Looking Ahead
With this decision, the Falcons transition from being potential underdogs to undeniably strong competitors. The anticipation has soared even higher than Niko’s headshot accuracy. They boast an impressive lineup, a renowned coach in zonic, and a battle-tested In-Game Leader (IGL) system.
In simpler terms, the upcoming significant challenge for them is IEM Melbourne 2025 – a tournament where m0NESY will make his team debut. If he gels well with the team, other top teams should prepare to see the Falcons consistently advancing in every tournament bracket.
What’s Next for G2?
In the meantime, instead of merely shedding tears on their jerseys, team G2 has taken swift action. They’ve borrowed Aleksander “hades” Miskiewicz from ENCE. This Polish AWPer isn’t new to top-tier play, and while he’s filling some big shoes, hades offers stability, valuable experience, and a strong knack for clutch moments. It might be a temporary fix, but it allows G2 the chance to reevaluate without collapsing before the Major.
With Hades contributing roughly 80% of m0NESY’s performance, G2 could potentially remain a formidable team throughout the season. If the synergy works out, there’s even a chance that his tenure might become permanent.

Final Round Thoughts
The signing of m0NESY by Falcons isn’t just a simple roster change; it’s a significant transformation in the CS:2 scene. As the Falcons assemble like the Avengers and G2 adapt swiftly, we’re looking at an exhilarating journey throughout the 2025 season. Buckle up for action-packed moments, intriguing conversations, and more suspense than a Twitch chat during technical breaks.
Alright, grab some grub, tweak those predictions, and buckle up—I’m diving into the m0NESY-Falcons’ territory where we’re ready to serve a 30-point blowout to everybody!
