Ilya “M0nesy” Osipov and Finn “karrigan” Andersen faced health issues ahead of the start of the playoffs for the IEM Cologne Major 2026 Counter-Strike 2 tournament.

This was reported by HLTV.

According to the source, the players missed Team Falcons’ press conference, which was scheduled before the start of the IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs. Notably, Miroslav “Zont1x” Plakhotay was also unable to give an interview due to health issues. Instead, Danil “Donk” Kryshkovets spoke with journalists.
