One of the most hyped players in recent years in CS:GO has been the young Russian AWP’er Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov.

The now-former NAVI Junior player showed some incredible skills on the Tier-2/3 level for the young NAVI team, but the question was if he could replicate it on the big stage. At BLAST Premier Spring Groups the 16-year-old AWP’er made an impressive debut on the Tier 1 level with an unforgettable clutch against MIBR to cement his name.

At IEM Katowice all eyes will once again be on Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov. At a press conference before the main event, Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač talked about the importance of having a true AWP’er on the team, and how he has experienced the first time with m0NESY on the team.
