G2 Esports suffered two losses this year in their CS2 squad: top-notch rifler Nikola ‘NiKo�?Kovač and the eagle-eyed Ilya ‘m0NESY�?Osipov. Both players are considered elites due to their impressive performances. With both of them under Team Falcon’s wings, what will happen to G2 Esports now? 

More losses and low morale

Losing two of their core players could lead to a string of losses for G2. Despite the skill of their remaining players like Nemanja 'huNter-' Kovač and Janusz 'Snax' Pogorzelski, they would still struggle. The team can also lose morale knowing that huNter- is NiKo’s cousin. 

However, this might not last long as G2 Esports will hire additional players. So far, the team has not released any statement about players they look forward to working with, but this can change. 

Fighting Team Falcons will likely result in a loss

If the two elite teams ever meet on the battlefield, the more likely winner is Team Falcons. Although G2 Esports won’t be beaten easily, the edge is on Team Falcons. NiKo has already formed a good relationship with his current team, and adding m0NESY will further improve their performance. 

Although it lacks two members, G2 Esports can still put up a good fight. Their new player is possibly the same level as m0NESY, but nobody can tell who will replace the ‘baby GOAT.�?nbsp;

Better preparations

To be ready for the upcoming BLAST.tv Austin Major, G2 Esports needs to train harder and prepare more. Their new player must adapt quickly to the current team and vice versa. With their latest standing in the Blast Open Spring 2025, they might take on an opponent with the same skill level as them. 

Since they lost m0NESY, they should look for a sniper of the same calibre—or better. Their riflers are competitive and display good game sense, but a good sniper will always be crucial to the team. 

New trump cards for the CS2 squad

Despite no announcement on the replacement player, G2 Esports is a top-tier team that wouldn’t settle for anyone. Their new player can be their trump card for the upcoming esports tournament, but only they know who it will be. 

However, talks of Aleksander ‘hades�?Miśkiewicz replacing the sniper are brewing. The primary AWPer hades is a top sniper from the esports group Monte. His display of accurate flicks and weapon mastery earned the respect of both his previous and current teams. 

Stay informed about G2 Esports�?next moves

G2 Esports�?CS2 squad is currently not in its best condition, so it might suffer a few losses, but nothing too heavy. By getting a good replacement for its lost players, it will uphold its reputation as a leading esports group.

G2 Esports finally accepted Ilya ‘m0NESY�?Osipov’s transfer after months of rejection. The Russian CS2 AWPer has signed a contract with Team Falcons. Reported as a multi-million dollar deal, it is currently the ‘biggest transfer�?in the history of the Counter-Strike esports scene. 

m0NESY will reportedly replace the current Team Falcons�?sniper, Abdulkhalik ‘degster�?Gasanov, for the upcoming 2025 BLAST.tv Auston Major this June. According to the updated roster, m0NESY will reunite with his former teammate, Nikola ‘NiKo�?Kovač. 

As Team Falcon prepares for the tournament, the competing players are revealed. Here’s the final roster: 

• Damjan ‘kyxsan�?Stoilkovski
• Emil ‘Magisk�?Reif
• René ‘TeSeS�?Madsen
• Nikola ‘NiKo�?Kovač
• Ilya ‘m0NESY�?Osipov.

G2 Esports hasn’t released an official statement about the star player’s departure yet. Losing a high-calibre player may affect their performance in the upcoming tournaments. In the meantime, m0NESY’s final appearance as a G2 Esports player might be at PGL Bucharest 2025. 

The addition of m0NESY to Team Falcons can change the team’s unstable outputs for the better. Knowing that m0NESY and NiKo were former teammates, their gameplay dynamics might help improve Team Falcons�?spotty performance.
