M0NESY was reported to have been the most effective player in clutch situations during the first half of 2026

According to analyst LuzRaposa, duels won by Team Falcons CS2 sniper Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov in rounds where he was the last surviving member of his team had a greater positive impact on match outcomes than those of any other player.

LuzRaposa noted that m0NESY had shown the highest firepower in situations where he remained the last player alive. It was also stated that Jame and broky survived as the last players in around 16% of rounds, while flameZ and apEX did so in approximately 6%. Among all riflers, NAF was said to be the player most frequently left alive last — even more often than some snipers.

The analyst thanked ItsBrokas for the idea and added that the research would be expanded further by excluding save situations in the near future. LuzRaposa explained that different types of rounds would likely be classified separately, including genuine clutch attempts, “maybe the opponent makes a mistake” rounds, and pure save situations.
