m0NESY Reveals How He Stays in Shape in CS2

Team Falcons sniper Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov has shared his approach to staying in top form in Counter-Strike 2. According to the esports player, performance depends not only on the amount of time spent playing the game but also on the quality of preparation ahead of tournaments.

Osipov explained that maintaining good form requires a combination of team practice and individual training. At the same time, the number of hours needed can vary significantly from player to player. Some professionals may find 70–80 hours over two weeks enough, while others may need around 100–110 hours.

m0NESY himself follows a fairly intensive schedule. The sniper said that he usually spends around 100–110 hours in CS2 over a two-week period, with the number sometimes climbing even higher. At the time of his comments, he had logged approximately 105 hours over the previous two weeks.

This level of practice helps m0NESY remain one of the strongest performers on the professional CS2 scene. At the time of publication, his HLTV rating stands at 1.24.
