Upon their arrival in China to participate in the European RMR for Shanghai Major 2024, G2 Esports' Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov and Nikola "NiKo" Kovac were warmly welcomed by enthusiastic local CS2 fans, eager to secure the players' autographs.
Documenting the heartwarming interaction, both NiKo and m0NESY took to social media to share videos of the lively autograph session, where they graciously spent time signing memorabilia. The Bosnian player, NiKo, even received a lovely bouquet of flowers from one of the attendees.
Set to make their debut in the European RMR B on November 21, G2 Esports is gearing up to face off against NiP in the initial match, kicking off at 5:00 CET. Previously, Vitality and MOUZ secured their spots at the Major by triumphing in the RMR A.
Having recently clinched victory at the BLAST World Final 2024 in Singapore, G2 Esports enters as a top contender for the upcoming Major. This tournament might mark the end of an era for NiKo and m0NESY, especially with speculations about NiKo's potential transition to Falcons post-Major. Despite the anticipation, the tournament field remains wide open, with no clear front-runner, considering the erratic performances of even the strongest teams like NAVI amidst their recent grand final appearances.
