Aurora Gaming Dota 2 player Yegor Nightfall Grigorenko explained why he changed his nickname on Steam. According to him, the decision is related to a self-ironic comparison with Team Falcons CS2 player Ilya m0NESY Osipov due to the number of losses in tournament finals.
NightfallI changed my nickname because I am the m0NESY of the Dota 2 world. I also lost eight finals, just like him. M0NESY is my favorite player, he will become the GOAT.
Team Falcons has seven second places in major tournaments over the past year, six of which occurred after m0NESY joined. Nightfall has accumulated a similar result since March 2024. Is such a comparison correct?
