Welcome to a special episode of the All About Counter-Strike Podcast! We're thrilled to have Counter-Strike prodigy, the baby goat who has grown into a young goat, Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov join us for his first exclusive interview since his move from G2 Esports to Team Falcons.

This interview was filmed in Bucharest on the 10th April and released on 14th April after the official announcement of m0NESY becoming a Falcon.

In this almost 2 hour in-depth interview our hosts James Banks and Jonatan ‘Devilwalk’ Lundberg talk to m0NESY and reflect on his incredible journey he had on his first Tier-1 Counter-Strike team G2 Esports that he joined back in 2022 after being sold by NAVI Junior.

He shares insights into playing alongside legends like NiKo, adapting to CS2, and the emotional moments of his career so far, including the highs of victory and the lows of tough losses. Then we get into why he joined Team Falcons, the future and what it holds for him in his New Jersey as well as being reunited with NiKo and getting to work with legendary coach zonic!
