m0NESY calibrated at 3484 Elo - still far from FACEIT’s current top 3

Team Falcons AWPer Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov has completed his FACEIT calibration in Counter-Strike 2 with a result of 3484 Elo. To receive his starting rating, the player played 10 matches and finished the series with a 7:3 record.

Against the current situation in the European ladder, that result looks fairly modest. At the moment, FACEIT’s top three in Europe looks as follows: qw1nk1 is in first place with 4112 Elo, mag1k3Y is second with 4083 Elo, and donk666 holds third place with 4047 Elo. This means that after calibration, m0NESY is sitting noticeably below the rating leaders and has not yet entered any real battle for the top of the ladder.

At the same time, 3484 Elo still remains a very high figure by the standards of regular FACEIT matchmaking. This is not a weak result, but rather a case where Osipov’s start was not especially impressive compared to players who are already above the 4000 Elo mark. It looks particularly notable against the backdrop of donk, who continues to remain among the leaders of the European leaderboard.

For m0NESY, however, the ladder matters less than the upcoming LAN event. Very soon, he will compete at PGL Astana 2026, which will take place in the capital of Kazakhstan from May 7 to 17. The tournament will be especially interesting for Falcons, as the team will play for the first time with Finn “karrigan” Andersen in the lineup, while the total prize pool of the event will be $1.6 million.

Falcons returned to HLTV’s top 5, while Aurora climbed to fourth place

As a result, m0NESY’s FACEIT calibration was neither a failure nor a top-tier performance. Now the focus shifts away from the rating race and toward the official debut of the updated Falcons roster on the big stage.
