Falcons have signed Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov to a multi-year contract extension that runs until 2030, HLTV reports. The Saudi Arabian organisation announced the deal on Monday.
The 21-year-old Russian AWPer joined Falcons in April 2025 in a high-profile transfer. According to HLTV, he has averaged a 1.29 rating across his time with the team.
Team success took longer to arrive. His first trophy with Falcons was the IEM Cologne Major in June, where he was also named MVP. That result makes Falcons the defending champions at the next Major, in Singapore.
The extension was announced two days before Falcons begin play at the Thunderpick World Championship on October 14. HLTV reports that IEM Beijing is also on the team's schedule ahead of the Singapore Major.
