Rumors: m0NESY to Join Falcons Ahead of Austin Major

Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, according to neL, has signed a contract with Falcons and will be joining the team in the coming weeks. He will join the team before the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

After the departure of NiKo , G2 planned to build the team around m0NESY. However, the season's start was disastrous—three consecutive tournaments without reaching the top 4. Even with the arrival of HeavyGod , the situation did not improve. His departure became apparent to many, as he simply stopped competing for titles.

Falcons continue to assemble a star-studded lineup. At the beginning of the season, they added NiKo , TeSeS , kyxsan , and degster . Now degster is likely to make way for m0NESY. The deal is valued at several million dollars and could become the most expensive in Counter-Strike history, according to insiders.

For G2, losing m0NESY is a blow on all fronts. Over three years, he became the face of the team, a key player. Now G2 has neither NiKo nor m0NESY—and no clear future.

Meanwhile, Falcons had a controversial start to the new season. At IEM Katowice, they placed 13-16, but at their next event, PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, they finished second. Then came two more underwhelming tournaments, leading to roster changes. But the arrival of m0NESY could change much in the club's history.

Falcons lineup after m0NESY's transfer:

Emil "Magisk" Reif

Nikola " NiKo " Kovac
