mo0N on the magic CS2 roster: “We want to make history and get the stickers.”
Abdurakhim “mo0N,” sniper for the Magic CS2 roster Isa shared his thoughts in an interview at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 following the team’s elimination from the event, explained the reasons behind the roster’s recent success, commented on his current individual form, and discussed the team’s immediate plans.
On his feelings after being eliminated from the event
We just came into the match determined to show what we’re capable of, and in the end, we won on Mirage. Of course, it’s very sad that AW couldn’t make it to this tournament with us, especially considering how well the team has been performing at recent events, but we have to make do with what we have. Regardless, we’re moving forward. We still have three more championships ahead of us before the Major invites are handed out, so we plan to give it our all.
On the reasons behind the team’s recent success
I think the main reason for our success is that everyone on the team is very young and hungry for victory. The players want to win and work very hard, which is exactly why we’re able to put up a fight against strong opponents. Together, we spend about ten hours a day, and on top of that, we have individual training sessions: some of us are on SkyBox, some are playing Deathmatch, and others are on FACEIT. All in all, we’re busy for about fifteen hours a day; before the tournament in Astana, we didn’t even have a single day off. But we’re fine with it—after all, this is our job, and we love it. We’re really trying to qualify for the Major; for each of us, aside from AW, this will be our first time, so we want to make history and earn those stickers.
On his individual form and the team’s immediate plans
At the very beginning, when I first joined the team, I had absolutely no time for individual practice because I had to learn so many strategies. Now that I’ve finished with that, I’ve had the chance to develop my personal skills, and I’ve started to show better performance in terms of stats. We have three events coming up: two in Serbia and one here in Spain. If I’m not mistaken, these are all Tier 2 championships, so our plan is simply to win and secure our spot in the upcoming Major.
