M0nesy Shares His Thoughts After Team Falcons’ Victory at the IEM Cologne Major

Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov said he had always dreamed of seeing smiles on his teammates’ faces after Team Falcons’ victory in the grand final.

The player made this statement in an interview with HLTV.

“I saw Niko jumping. I looked at him—he was smiling. I’ve always wanted us to be smiling after the grand final, and that kind of smile only comes after a win. To be honest, I was just happy for everyone—that’s all. There’s not much else to say—just smiles, laughter, and positive energy. Yeah, we did it!”

According to Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, the esports player felt happy for the team when he saw Nikola “Niko” Kovač unable to contain his joy after the victory.

m0NESY also noted that he would like to win the IEM Cologne Major 2026 Counter-Strike 2 tournament exactly the way Team Falcons did, as they managed to defeat most of their main opponents even before the grand final.

As a reminder, Nikola “Niko” Kovač previously commented on Team Falcons’ victory over Vitality at the IEM Cologne Major 2026.
