On December 6th 2024, G2 Esports cemented itself as the top seed at the Shanghai Major with a stellar performance across multiple matches. Despite having a small hiccup on day one of the Elimination Stage when they lost their first best-of-one 13-10 to The MongolZ, one could call it “getting used to the tournament setting” because they have been undefeated ever since. Since then, G2 Esports has crushed BIG 13-5 and beaten 3DMAX 13-8, putting them at the top of the seeds for now, something that Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipo spoke to HLTV about.

What did m0NESY say?

When asked about how practice has been like in China, m0NESY said: “It was not easy to practice against teams because everyone was booking against each other, some teams were canceling, changing some plans. We had a pretty good schedule, we were preparing for this match against MongolZ as well because the match was very early, like at 11, and we had to wake up at 7. I woke up at 7:30 and took a shower. After that, we went for a team walk together.”


 

When asked about his own personal training regiment at Shanghai, he said: “I think the hardest thing is to get used to the schedule because I'm a room flower, I'm sitting playing 10 hours per day, and I go to sleep usually at 2 or 3, maybe 4 AM sometimes, and it's pretty rough to get used to the schedule. But we are professionals, we have to do it, and we have to get used to different conditions from what we have. We cannot make it better, we have to make do with what we have. Overall, I am happy, we played better than against MongolZ, and we showed some balls finally.”

When asked about the rivalry between him, donk and ZywOo coming into the Major, he said: “For me, the most important thing is to have a good performance as a team at the Major. I'm not really focused on this, 'Who wins the Major is going to become top 1.' I mean obviously I saw people commenting about it, but I don't really focus on that. Our goal as a team is to win the Major, and it will be very important for everyone because it's also the last tournament of the year.”
