The Rise of m0NESY: How a 16-Year-Old s1mple Clone Could Become CS:GO's Next GOAT
Suffice it to say, part of what makes s1mple such a singularity is the fact that there’s only, well, 1 of him.
Some say he was born to play Counter-Strike, others that he just lives and breathes it. Whatever the source of his godhood may be, the overwhelming consensus is that he is, undoubtedly, a once-in-a-generation player. The kind who, quite simply, cannot be duplicated.
But what if I told you that s1mple not only could be cloned but, uh . . . already has been.
Today, I’m here to introduce you all to Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, a sixteen-year-old CS:GO prodigy from the CIS who’s spent the past two years turning FPL into his own personal playground.
Of course, what really stands out about our boy is the uncanny resemblance he bears to his game’s GOAT. He’s a blonde, Slavic wonderboy who plays for Na’Vi and not only bangs with every boomstick on the buy menu, but boasts gamesense and gunskill beyond his years.
This little tyke doesn’t just walk and talk like Sasha the Smasha, he frags like him, too.

I read that a soomple
Would it be pronounced, semple?
I actually have no idea how to pronounce this lol.

that might be the reason why UK cs sucks hahahaha
You know you're a great player when: 1. s1mple says "Harosh" 2. theScore esports makes video about you
Don't forget an older brother
lol and superstitum makes another vid about how u really play
@@ruppzie8708 he made a video about mOE twice
@@nevize6660 HAHA trueeeeee tho
You should have also included Aunkere in this video, he's the next electronic as well, mONESY and Aunkere's duo greatly resembles s1mple and electronic's.
It’s hard to say that about Aunkere, he got one big problem and it’s that he never accept that he make mistake he gonna always come up with some excuse. That’s why he still in Navi junior
@@x4nnies772 and why is mONESY still in Na’Vi junior?
@@D0rlisok Cause he's a kid.
@@D0rlisok because he doesn’t have experience to be in Navi roaster and Navi don’t want to sell or give monesy to another team. Navi said that they are not going sell him to another team
@@x4nnies772 it's not about experience, he's not old enough to fulfill the age requirement which I believe is 18, since b1t is 18. Dimitri literally said that in the video.
Well, of course he had an older brother who played the same game too🙃
Ofc
tfw you are the older brother....
@@overdosingontomatoes8619 older brothers become agents
i remember asking my brother for a game to play 3 years ago, he said try csgo i'll buy it for u. Well i have 800 hours now so u can say i kinda liked the game (yes im aware 800 is not a lot but it is my most played steam game lol
@@physiczxd6197800 hundred ours is a lot. It just isn't a lot relative to other sweat machines
Kinda insane how he started at 6 like bruh I couldn't even go through the main menu at that age 💀
I didnt have computer at that age.
@@ViktorKozh honestly bro. Even if I did, no way in hell I’d be allowed to play a game like cs at 6
I started at 5 years old as well with 1.6 😂 All thanks to my brother, who at the moment was Semi-Pro in my country, going to LANs and stuff. He would probably be pro in CSGO now if he would've continued, but he stopped playing in 2012 1.6.
I could get into the console
welcome to russia, also applies to brazil
Smooya: What did i DO wrong In my life Monesy: just have a big brother Who play CS :D
Played against this kid when he was very young, when I was living in the Netherlands, and we got a lot of CIS players. Was ~lvl 8 Faceit. He absolutely shit on us. Was close to a 40 bomb in ~20 rounds. Absurd talent.
Not a talent only played insane amounts more than any pro has
@@YDSD lmao dude u so stupid. random rambo has twice more cs hours than s1mple but he is nowhere close to him. its not about hours its about starting point of your talent. if your cs talent from the start is like 1/100, in 5000 hours u maybe gonna be global. if your cs talent from the start is 70/100 so in the same 5000 hours u gonna be a pro player.
Man fuck talent honestly
@@smartguy8219 5000h to get global then you are just brain dead. Enough work andwill. Will always be better than talent because there is no such thing as talent. Took me 370h to get lem. And simple started when he was a child so he has played for a long long time.
@@YDSD man those numbers were an example so u are braindead. im repeating again, there are thousands of people who have more hourse in cs than s1mple, zywoo or monesy. and they are NOWHERE CLOSE to them. u cant be better than neymar or mozart just because u practicing more than they do. u just dumb if u believe in that bullshit. every person have specific talent in which they have more chances to succeed in shorter amount of time than others.
"could be csgo's next GOAT" That's a lot of pressure for a young player. Hope he goes on to big things, whether that's HLTV #1 or not
He can handle the pressure. If he is unable to then he just locks himself out of there. Either way kid is pretty wise in terms of recognizing what can stop him and either resisting it with class or ignoing it completely
Here after Gigachad HooXi unleashed him
@@VarunAditTheGreat and just recently defeated the GOAT himself the other day
The real question is: who showed the big brothers how to play?
:0
s1mple ofc
That's why none of big brother is pro xD
the even bigger brother
Monesy is like early s1mple, can be Cocky (for example he called b1t noob!) But if he can mature in a good team he can go far.
Him and B1t were in a team and if you watch the clips he seems like a very focused kid with just typical Russian humor. If you understand Russian you understand that it’s just banter.
m0nesy is a sweet kid, he doesnt have a high ego like s1mple, its more of a confidence, he also a very nice kid
@@xcalypso4077 He becomes rude to be confident )))
n00besy has bad game sense, plus he has just descent aim, unlike s0mple. s0mple's crosshair placement is trash, but at least he has good game sense.
@@crymeariver9141 idk what makes you bantering, either u hate navi or ure zywoo.
10:33 what did i just see
ikr wtf ?!?!
Aged well... Definentely aged well.
11:41 lmaooo he really said that haha
i replayed it 4 times lmao i was like... did he just... no...did he ? xD
awwww yeahh
how is nobody paying attention to this lmaooooooooooo
11:03 and now they play together and Niko is kind of like his older brother. Also Monesy being ranked #7 in his first year of play in a Tier one team is just insane.
y'all might wanna mute that at 11:42 before youtube gets mad
wait did he say that im trying to figure out if it just sounds like that lmfaooooo
I thought I was the only one who heard that lmao
@@johnvoigt67 def did
''before m0NESY absolutely shits on us though a window smoke.'' got a whole new meaning in 2022 *because the smoke bug on mirage he found*
the CIS region is dominating CS right now... It’s Crazy how big the game there has become. When Navi just won the Grand Slam, I seen all the Valorant idiots in the English twitch stream typing 380k viewers dead game KEKW, meanwhile the Russian broadcast had the same amount of views if not more.... CSGO is really a global game, Portuguese broadcast pulled in over a 100k as well
And then the Gambit in the Valorant happened... damn, Riot even copied the esports scene of CS, how dare them :D
@@python3x just was about to say that too xD
I think it's the difference between LOL and DOTA 2. DOTA is dead compared to LOL and so is valorant compared to CS, it's just that NA streamers get so much exposure. The thing is no matter how many shooters come, there is no way they can match the legacy and sheer legitimacy of CS.
@@HarshManohar dota is nowhere near dead lol. Dota still enjoys a good amount of players and has been doing it for years. Also the international speaks for itself...
@@ThatNorma I agree with you. Neither DOTA nor Valorant is a "dead" game, but LoL has ten times the active player count. That makes the game so much smaller in comparison in my opinion. But you're right it's nowhere near a dead game by itself.
Thoorin just roasted you XD
Link please!
Thorin has been roasting them for a long time
Plagiarism courtesy of theScore Esports?
Thorin has lowt his grip on what it means to be a csgo analyst. Listening to him talking about cs just shows how little he know about the actual game and how to play with other people
@@xXLancelotXx98 I totally agree which is really unfortunate because him and warowl are the reasons I myself got into CSGO. He's always had some hot takes and a bit of man baby but that was part of charm for me. Now he just seems like a crazy old man who's mad about everything and thrives off of the drama he starts with actual children. Shits wild man, kinda sad to see.
s1mple, b1t and m0nesy will dominate the csgo scene for years once they're in the same team.
had to re visit this video after m0nesy just helped G2 make it to the grand final of IEM Katowice 2022
Yo we need a video about B1t now. "The rookie that brought upon the NaVi era"
Man he is so cute, he's so little my brain still recognizes him as legit a baby.
You forgot no homo
Sus
@@mellowmike7520 no pedo, no homo
zomg what you guys thinking about lol
I am amazed how you guys make these editorialized videos and, at least this one, is genuinely hilarious without being cringe, and still informative. That's gotta be hard to do.
4:21 That aged verry well, now that he used the window smoke bug on Mirage....

11:42 WHADID YOU SAYYYYYYYYY
its awesome to see that all these players and in sports often have a big brother, that they looked up to and tried to beat them. I am a big brother too and my little brother now could be going pro in Volleyball bc i gave him the skills to do that bc i played with him. So as a big brother you have a lot of impact on ur brothers life and dont be angry or uppset that they are better in one day, u were a big part of that process to, so think about that and be proud of yourself and for ur little brother
Coming back to this video after seeing him shine on G2 next to NiKo is p heartwarming. 11:09 hits so different now
10:49 wow that was a light translation
what is the actual
@@nixta2528 more like "get the fuck out of here"
KZhead really did it’s job in placing this in my recommendation right after the major huh. Dude popped heads and I can’t wait to see how far he’s gonna get.
And he is doin it in G2 now. Great vid
Here's the problem,they said the exact same things about Brollan. 16 year old prodigy, brought pointy fnatic, crazy online ability. He currently has the same elo and kdr as monesy in fpl. It would be amazing if this kid could crush is against the best in a few years time, the problem is that it's a story that has been told many times before.
Right, but Brillant did perform in T1, didn’t he? It’s just that he joined a team that just didn’t have what it takes.
Cant wait to see him competing on the big stage in the near future !!
Damn, imagine not having to worry about your life like, at all, cause you're just that good... Feel like that could backfire, but he might aswell do school as a side-thing
The esports industry is tough man, just remember all the stress and future health problems it could potentially pose for monesy
btw he graduated this year from school(you either graduate after 9th grade, like monesy and go to college or graduate after 11th and go to uni) and should currently studying in college
Bro other esport titles (like league) tends to scout young players, bjergsen and faker are examples... Guess it's new to some in the cs scene but it's because you tend to not associate cs with "young players", but orgs signing minors are pretty common
Being a good cs player is impressive. Being a pro cs player spending most of your waking life staring at a monitor is a wasted life.
its sad more than any thing, i mean yeah he gets to make money playing video games or whatever but hes practically wasted his entire childhood on a videogame
nah homie called mONESY a fetus. pause
I actually think if he keeps improving he could be able to surpass s1mple in terms of individual mechanical skill, just watching his stream makes your jaw drop time after time, just depends on how well he can play with the team in tier 1 when he eventually gets there. To think that he is 7 years younger than s1mple and already so close in terms of raw skill..
Yeah but thats mechanical skill. S1mple’s gamesense is unmatched
Not even close he is only good with awp simple it’s good with evertthing
@@1311rasmus lmao not really
its always the big brother that produce legends of this game, shout out to all the the big bros
whoever it is that talks in these cs videos man I've grown to love your personality and love for cs. always a pleasrure
Is this the effect of growing up, having streaming as an integral part of your life at a young age, accelerating growth and knowledge to yet unknown hights? Imagine having the input of thousands, not only regarding the game you play, but everything in life such as school, business, love or just life in general? It is like having the support of an AI, constant input on everything you do, say and to a degree think. I can see how this might give massive advantange to the few individuals who get to experience this privilage maturing into adulthood. Truly facinating phenomenon.
10/10 on that opener "thereisn't just a 1 in his name but.. 1 in the game"
i was out crying that some kid beat me at wall ball at age 10 tf.
2:53 "His beautiful little haircut" I mean yeah.
Simple got it so made in life that he also has a successor in the amateur leagues.
imagen s1mple and monesy in one team.The terror it'll bring to other pro's
11:40 i swear he said the n word💀
cant wait for that Dan M guy to talk about the gear on his cheap suit
Ya MONESY is now the new GOAT. Dude is cracked this IEM Katowice 2022.
no way one major dont make you the goat
I honestly thought this video was gonna be about B1t. In terms of performance alone, B1t is the next big thing in CSGO.
Dont want to put to much pressure and trust in him yet. he is very young i hope he can keep this up and dosnt get burnt out
Jesus Christ this 1 million percent better than me at cs at 7 years old when I’m 22. This kid needs to get into the main Navi lineup he’s absolutely cracked
m0NESY mirage and inferno clutches were one of the best i've ever seen, specially inferno B site 4 vs 1, that one should be impossible..
Smooya is such a gem of a soul. Always been a big fan of his, glad to see him on here-even if he's using a lot of self depreciating humor🤣
I just cant help the "forehead" of security vibes when he was on the cam interview.
Mini-Me S1mple + Mone$y was comedy gold!
This kid looks like a really good pickup for G2 to solve their awper problem.
Monesy: I'm closer to simple than you are to me
The S1mple m0NESY duel reminds me of Bobby fisher and Magnus Carlsen
A shadow clone can never be as good as the real one for a reason
anything is possible, you just need brain cells which simple fans don't possess usually, remember Boston major????
just be yourself monesy.
I hope to see Aunkere soon in a video like this too.
11:40 WHAT DID HE SAYYYYYYYY
lmfao i was looking for this comment
great Video sir good to hear something ike this
Now he is Pro in the G2 Roster
Mechanically gifted. Game sense can only be proved in front on Tier 1 teams. If B1t is any indication of what Navi is hiding in their camps, mOnesy will rain down hell alongside Simple and Electronic. The question is, who can he replace? Perfecto is like the next clutchmaster and Boomich is an unpredictable genius.
the navi team is the correct formula right now, they just have to polish their minor issues and theyll be the next astralis, s1mple cant be replaced, electronic is basically the best rifler, b1t is the next screaM but better, perfecto is one of the best anchors and clutchers atm, and boombl4 has insane impact in crucial points of the game, that and his strat/shot calling has improved so much while he's been on the team. they also won the grand slam, so he is doing something right being the igl
@@TheGoodguyperson the Navi fan boy haha
@@sopipapo1188 haha
would be fun to see him on lan soon
Here in NA, or at least in California, our training is simply to replicate all his plays for an hour. I’ve gone for 100 AWP flashes in the past hour
i cant imagine replacing anyone in navi’s current roster with monesy
In a couple years someone is gonna be getting worse. Either electronic or boombl4 probably. Either of them
@@TransparentEclipse Boombla is IGL, Monesy is not IGL. Pretty s1mple stuff
@@fica1137 ppl can become igl. And boombl4 is not the best igl, he is ok
@@TransparentEclipse Replacing an IGL is devastating and you definite don't know how any of this works, they tried elec as an IGL in 2020 once and it did not work out. Boombl4 is an entry fragger and an IGL, it is his job to make calls and create magic, it's him that made the decision, the rest follows it and the result of the match definitely goes against your statement , Navi is doing well with boombl4, and he is a good IGL, probably not the best, but good enough to make calls that are game changing.
@@oanhienlong7264 elec didnt igl the whole team, he igled on mirage only in 2020, which of course led to zywoo 1v5 if you ask me
5:54 13-15 on scoreboard and he’s 1v4 (translated from Russian) “So you lost?” “No”
I wonder how op is navi if they have two simple in the team, they just gonna sweep every tournament
That kid is good i swear hes consistent
this video aged well
The flick at 10:35 caused a sound I can't explain
there's no space in Navi for Monesy to fit in, maybe after s1mple retires or chooses to play another role to let monesy be the X factor but other than that Monesy will most likely join another team then comeback to Navi as I don't see Monesy replacing Perfecto and B1t because Perfecto is one of the best support players NaVi have picked up and Monesy will have to play a much more unfavourable role if b1t was to move out
CarlosR after watching this video: I NEED HIM!!!!
Smooya would make a great analyst for cs broadcasting. It would be entertaining
Big respect to the homie
Who would he replace in the current navi roster though? That's a problem because the only ones i can see him replacing are perfecto and boomich. Being support would waste his talent and he doesn't have the experience to igl a tier 1 team
"A literal fetus outfragging everything in sight" hahahahahahah
im watching navi vs faze now but just wanna drop a comment before looking at this video
Well Nivera, Zywoo and shox never panned out so we will just have to wait and see
Dimitri posting cs:go videos like Simple getting Aces in pro play
nice holes refrence cant wait to see M0NESY on pro leagues
i feel like b1t is s1mple's rifling part and monesy is s1mple's awping part, and if the day where s1mple no longer plays for navi or even csgo itself, b1t and monesy can fill in s1mple's playstyle separately.
b1t is hella good
Zywoo: well Ima head out
i've read on an article that when he was old enough to compete at Tier1 CS, NaVi can't include him in their main roster as s1mple is already awping, thank god G2 picked him up. and he already claimed his first trophy at 17, got 2 MVP awards too. Spoiler on 4:20 too, he absolutely shts on everyone at Blast World Finals
wondering if therell be a part 2 on this where monesy is now on g2
M0nesy best bro))
the question is, will he prove himself when time comes like B1t?
Next Jimpphat! He's 15/YO (Born 2006) upcoming Finnish superstar, he's the brother of Sergej.
of course he got introduced by his brother xD
14:04 YO KING SPOTTED HERE

Also Deko
Imagine having a kid before even having a kid.
The main navi roster looks stable for now the way they play CS towards around b1t, if b1t crumbles in major then m0nesy can take his spot i think
m0nesy is their stand in already and potential 6th if that thing ever comes back
6:16 Looks like hes freaking playing piano xD
