On September 27, CS:GO officially came to an end, making way for the release of Counter-Strike 2. As the dust settled, it was revealed that m0NESY, the prodigious talent from G2 Esports, had emerged as the top-rated player on the popular third-party platform, FACEIT. With an impressive ELO rating of 7,200, nearly 5,000 matches played, and a win rate of 63 percent, m0NESY solidified his position as the best FACEIT player.
The 18-year-old Russian player’s dedication to the game is evident in his staggering statistics. He has spent approximately 190,000 minutes, equivalent to around 3,166 hours or 131 days, playing on FACEIT alone. While this pales in comparison to the legendary s1mple’s nearly 1,000 days of CS:GO gameplay, m0NESY’s commitment and potential make him a strong contender for the title of the next Counter-Strike GOAT.
Already a force to be reckoned with, m0NESY has achieved notable victories alongside his G2 teammates, including triumphs at IEM Katowice 2023 and IEM Cologne 2023, two prestigious tournaments in the Counter-Strike circuit. Despite some ups and downs for G2 throughout the year, m0NESY’s exceptional performance, combined with the talents of NiKo and huNter-, gives the European squad a fighting chance in future competitions.
While fans eagerly await m0NESY’s debut in CS2, they will have to exercise patience as G2 is currently competing in the ESL Pro League Season 18. The team’s upcoming quarterfinal match against MOUZ on September 28 promises to be an exciting showdown. Although CS2 has been officially released, CS:GO tournaments are still ongoing, allowing players like m0NESY to continue showcasing their skills in the current game.
