Biography

Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov (born May 1, 2005, in Orekhovo-Zuevo, Russia) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 AWPer for Team Falcons, recognized as one of the most mechanically gifted and fastest-rising stars in the history of Counter-Strike. His lightning-quick reactions, aggressive AWP style, and remarkable consistency have made him a central figure in Tier-1 competition before even turning 20 years old.

Early Career and Rise with NAVI Junior

m0NESY began playing Counter-Strike at a very young age, quickly climbing matchmaking and FACEIT ladders, famously achieving Global Elite rank at just 10 years old. His natural mechanics and raw talent caught the attention of Natus Vincere scouts, and in January 2020 he joined NAVI Junior at the age of 14.

In the academy roster, m0NESY rapidly became a standout player, delivering world-class numbers in youth and secondary circuits. He was often the main win condition for NAVI Junior, posting a Rating 2.0 above 1.30 across multiple tournaments. His performances in events such as the WePlay Academy League built his reputation as a generational talent and a future Tier-1 superstar.

Move to G2 Esports and Immediate Impact

In January 2022, G2 Esports signed m0NESY in a blockbuster transfer, reportedly one of the most expensive in CS:GO history for a player of his age. Stepping into Tier-1 competition at 16, he instantly adapted to the pace, producing highlight plays and high-impact rounds against the world’s best teams.

His first year saw G2 reach finals at events like IEM Katowice 2022 and PGL Antwerp Major 2022, with m0NESY delivering MVP-level series despite his inexperience. His maturity in high-pressure matches and ability to swing rounds with lightning-fast AWP shots made him a fan favorite.

Tournament Success and Awards

From 2022 to 2024, m0NESY evolved into one of the most feared AWPers globally. He collected four MVP medals at “Big Events,” including:

BLAST Premier World Final 2022

IEM Dallas 2023

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023

IEM Chengdu 2024

In HLTV’s Top 20 Players rankings, he finished 7th in 2022, 4th in 2023, and 2nd in 2024, becoming one of the youngest players in history to rank that high. He also won HLTV’s Rookie of the Year (2022) and Highlight of the Year (2022) awards, the latter for his unforgettable 1v4 clutch against MOUZ.

Style of Play and Statistics

m0NESY’s style blends aggressive peeks, fast flicks, and fearless positioning. His Impact rating consistently hovers around 1.30, with Average Damage per Round (ADR) near 80 and an Opening Kill Success rate above 60%, marking him as both a playmaker and a consistent closer.

He is equally dangerous in clutch scenarios, with quick decision-making and unpredictable angles catching opponents off guard. His precision under pressure often shifts momentum in his team’s favor, a rare trait for such a young player.

Transition to Team Falcons

In April 2025, m0NESY joined Team Falcons in one of the most talked-about roster moves of the year. The Falcons lineup, led by legendary coach zonic, also features NiKo, TeSeS, kyousuke, and kyxsan, forming a roster designed to contest every Tier-1 trophy. His arrival is seen as a key step in the organization’s push to become a dominant force in CS2.

Legacy in the Making

By mid-2025, m0NESY had played over 400 professional maps, earned more than $800,000 in prize money, and built a reputation as the brightest young star in Counter-Strike. With his trajectory, many analysts predict he could become one of the greatest AWPers of all time, and possibly the best Russian player in the history of the game.
