In early 2025, Team Falcons formed a star-studded Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) lineup centered around Bosnian marksman Nikola “NiKo” Kovač. The acquisition of NiKo from G2 Esports marked one of the most significant roster changes in recent history. Earlier speculations hinted at Team Falcons trying to secure the services of young prodigy Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, a sniper, but he was unavailable for transfer.
It’s been officially announced that, after their stunning victory at PGL Bucharest 2025, G2 Esports has transferred player m0NESY to Team Falcons. This confirmation came directly from the CEO of G2 Esports.
It appears that the rumors are correct; we have agreed to complete the trade involving our young goat from the CS team. I kindly request that any feedback be directed towards me personally, rather than the management, staff or players of the organization, as this was a decision made at a higher level.
In December, Ilya’s contract will conclude and we have decided to…

As a gamer, I’ve got to admit that m0NESY is undeniably among the world’s elite. He’s not just a player, he’s a star, shining brightly alongside greats like ZywOo. It’s hard to even fathom how G2 could potentially find someone to fill his shoes.
Taking to Telegram (as translated by HLTV), m0NESY gave a short message in Russian, stating:
I appreciate your patience, everyone who stood by G2 and me throughout our journey. This experience has fortified me, and the individuals involved will be etched in my memory for eternity. They were like a second family to me at home. Thank you for your unwavering support.
Our team’s lineup has become more formidable, to the point where I would rank Team Falcons among the top three teams, alongside Spirit and Vitality, based purely on paper analysis. Take a look at our players!
Team Falcons roster:
- Emil “Magisk” Reif
- Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
- Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
- René “TeSeS” Madsen
- Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov
Interestingly enough, Abdul “degster” Gasanov’s final tournament prior to joining m0NESY was PGL Bucharest 2025. It was there that he clinched the MVP title after Team Falcons outplayed G2 Esports with a resounding 3-0 victory in the grand finale, an ironic twist given his upcoming team change.
It seems highly likely that Team Falcons will reach new heights under the leadership of m0NESY, given the trends in their statistics.
