G2 Esports finally accepted Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov’s transfer after months of rejection. The Russian CS2 AWPer has signed a contract with Team Falcons. Reported as a multi-million dollar deal, it is currently the ‘biggest transfer’ in the history of the Counter-Strike esports scene. 

m0NESY will reportedly replace the current Team Falcons’ sniper, Abdulkhalik ‘degster’ Gasanov, for the upcoming 2025 BLAST.tv Auston Major this June. According to the updated roster, m0NESY will reunite with his former teammate, Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač. 

As Team Falcon prepares for the tournament, the competing players are revealed. Here’s the final roster: 

  • Damjan ‘kyxsan’ Stoilkovski
  • Emil ‘Magisk’ Reif
  • René ‘TeSeS’ Madsen
  • Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač
  • Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov.

G2 Esports hasn’t released an official statement about the star player’s departure yet. Losing a high-calibre player may affect their performance in the upcoming tournaments. In the meantime, m0NESY’s final appearance as a G2 Esports player might be at PGL Bucharest 2025. 

The addition of m0NESY to Team Falcons can change the team’s unstable outputs for the better. Knowing that m0NESY and NiKo were former teammates, their gameplay dynamics might help improve Team Falcons’ spotty performance.
