M0NESY revealed he poorly practiced before EPL S20
2024-09-03 13:35:00G2 Esports CS2 player Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov revealed he had little practice before ESL Pro League S20. The AWPer used the time after IEM Cologne 2024 to see his family, so he played very few FACEIT matches and missed some practice. M0NESY shared this on ESL broadcast.
I went home after Cologne, I had practiced at home. I met with my friends, it has been a long time since I saw them. I wasn't visiting home for 2-3 months. [SPUNJ: Have you played a lot of FACEIT at home?] Not a lot, not a lot. I played maybe 10 games maximum. That's very bad, I should've played more.
[SPUNJ: Snax said you were practicing 24/7] We practiced a lot but I was chilling sometimes with my friends outside. I need to touch some grass sometimes.
G2 finished 5th-6th in Cologne, unable to beat MOUZ in the quarterfinal. The tournament ended on August 18. Recently, m0NESY played a FACEIT game with Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev. The superstar reacted to fans criticizing his play and promised to shut down the haters once he's back in the game.
The future of G2 Esports is unclear as the team will reportedly lose Nikola "NiKo" Kovac after PW Shanghai Major 2024. According to several reputable journalists, he will move to Falcons. G2's first match at EPL S20 will be against KOI on September 3, at 19:30 CEST.
