m0NESY officially departs G2, signs with Team Falcons
After months of talks and rumours, Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov has officially left G2 Esports and joined Team Falcons. This transfer is said to be ‘the biggest transfer‘ in Counter-Strike history. The 19-year-old Russian AWPer will play his first match with Team Falcons at the BLAST.tv Austin Major in June.
‘Sorry, that’s it. Thank you to everyone who supported G2 and me all this time. This was a chapter that made me stronger. People who will stay in my memory forever’, m0NESY stated.
m0NESY was originally under contract with G2 until December, but the organisation released him early, citing a growing disconnect between the player and the team due to personal circumstances. G2 CEO Alban ‘Stilgar’ Dechelotte also noted that holding serious discussions with potential new talents is challenging without clarity on m0NESY’s future with the team.
Meanwhile, m0NESY will reunite with his old G2 teammate, Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač, who recently helped Team Falcons win at PGL Bucharest 2025 and will take the spot of Abdulkhalik ‘degster’ Gasano. G2 hasn’t picked a new player yet, but reports say that the team is planning to loan Aleksander ‘hades’ Miśkiewicz from Monte.
