HLTV Editor-in-Chief Striker stated that if NiKo eventually signs with Falcons, then m0NESY might consider switching teams and advised NiKo not to leave.
“As far as I know, m0NESY currently has no plans to transfer. But if NiKo chooses to leave, the kid will definitely consider his future before renewing his contract with G2.
From NiKo's perspective, if Falcons have no better improvement plans for the roster, then there is no point in joining the Saudi club. If his arrival doesn't help Falcons in any way, why would he leave m0NESY? NiKo previously turned down the best salary offer in the world, so if he wants to leave a mark at G2, it's definitely not just about the money. He is absolutely looking forward to a stronger lineup to achieve his Major dream.
Moreover, NiKo joining Falcons would be a good thing for the latter, but more star players must follow suit.”
HLTV Operations Director Professeur analyzed m0NESY's future direction.
“Some interesting speculations about m0NESY, which team wouldn't suit him? Even Vitality , ZywOo would be happy to transition to a rifler. FaZe, Liquid, Mouz , any team, even Spirit .”
Renowned Australian commentator SPUNj agreed with this.
“Who wouldn't want to see m0NESY and Donk on the same team? Two players ranked in the TOP3 in the world.”
Yesterday afternoon, foreign media sheepesports reported that Falcons are expected to pay G2 $1-1.2 million to buy out NiKo's contract. The Bosnian player will sign a 3-year contract with the Saudi club and will start playing for the Falcons team in January 2025 after the Shanghai Major.
