m0NESY officially departs G2, signs with Team Falcons
After months of talks and rumours, Ilya โm0NESYโ Osipov has officially left G2 Esports and joined Team Falcons. This transfer is said to be โthe biggest transferโ 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.
โSorry, thatโs 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 foreverโ, 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 โStilgarโ Dechelotte also noted that holding serious discussions with potential new talents is challenging without clarity on m0NESYโs future with the team.
Meanwhile, m0NESY will reunite with his old G2 teammate, Nikola โNiKoโ Kovaฤ, who recently helped Team Falcons win at PGL Bucharest 2025 and will take the spot of Abdulkhalik โdegsterโ Gasano. G2 hasnโt picked a new player yet, but reports say that the team is planning to loan Aleksander โhadesโ Miลkiewicz from Monte.
