Thorin: “People who write off m0NESY just like they did with NiKo are simply fools.”

Journalist and analyst Duncan “Thorin” Shields stated that Team Falcons sniper Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov is still far from his peak level in CS2. He shared his opinion on his personal page on social media platform X.
People who are writing m0NESY off just like they did with NiKo are simply fools. He’s only 21 years old. He’s been an above-average talent for a long time and has already won trophies, prestigious tournaments, and MVP awards. This young man still has plenty of time ahead of him and will achieve even more if he keeps up the good work.
