Since Monte seems comfortable taking shots at me publicly, I think it’s only fair to give some context.

Monte owes me tens of thousands of dollars, plus my share of Monte’s Major team sticker revenue. I haven’t received any tournament prize money since 2025, and I am also still owed multiple monthly payments and performance bonuses.

Multiple former players and the coach are also still owed substantial amounts, to my knowledge.

I stayed quiet for a long time because I respected the organization and wanted to give them every chance to sort this out privately and make things right.

Payment delays were also a recurring issue throughout my time with Monte. We repeatedly reached out asking why this kept happening and were told it would be fixed, but nothing ever really changed. Over time, that made it harder and harder to trust that things would be handled properly.

And to be clear, this had a major impact on my decision not to re-sign with Monte. We’ve seen too many players in esports get burned by organizations that fail to pay what they owe, so I wasn’t willing to put myself in that position. It’s hard to commit your future to an org when situations like this keep happening.

The situation at Monte was uncertain. Re-signing would have meant committing to an organization we no longer trusted to consistently meet its financial obligations, with no guarantee that the same roster would even stay together long term.

The hate towards Luminosity and the players is unjustified. If anything, Monte’s own actions and failures were a big reason why things ended the way they did.

Choosing not to re-sign is not betrayal. After repeated payment issues and everything that had happened, we had every right to make the decision we felt was best for our careers. Calling us “rats” or “traitors” for that doesn’t change the reasons why we chose to move on.

If you have time to comment and make videos taking shots at former players, you should probably have time to pay the people who worked for you and earned that money. 😉

P.S. What makes this even harder to understand is that Monte received a very substantial amount of money from buyouts after the Major, while former players and staff are still waiting to be paid what they are owed.

Today I was moved to the bench by Falcons. Unfortunate timing to receive the news with the Cologne Major coming up very soon, but the organization felt like a change is needed and I respect their decision.

I am sad that we couldn’t make it work in Falcons, we had good chances to win some trophies in the last year but it was not meant to be. It was still a good experience for me and it was a pleasure to be part of a team with so much potential. Thanks to all my teammates and the coaching staff for the time we spent together ❤️

The story of @kyxsancs!

It all started on October 25, 2022, when Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski officially joined Knacks family while still competing for BLUEJAYS. Even then, we saw a leader who wasn't just playing the game but masterminding it, and we knew that with the right support system, his potential would be limitless.

The journey that followed was a whirlwind of success that saw him rise through the ranks of Apeks, Heroic, and now Falcons. Under our management, Damjan reached milestones that most only dream of, most notably leading Apeks to a historic top-four finish at the BLASTtv Paris Major 2023 and 2nd place at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 with Heroic. These weren't just wins on a screen; they were the result of a player being able to focus 100% on his performance while we handled the complexities of his professional career and high-profile transfers.

Kyxsan's leadership at Falcons reached a definitive milestone with the PGL Bucharest 2025 trophy lift where the team dominated the grand final to claim the championship. This victory combined with a relentless string of second-place finishes at elite events like PGL Cluj-Napoca and BLAST Rivals proves he has built a roster capable of winning the most important trophies in the world. Even into 2026 his squad continues to contend at the highest level with a runner-up finish at BLAST Bounty Winter.

Through our partnership, we have seen him transform from a regional talent into one of the most respected IGLs in the world, consistently holding his ground in the top tiers of the HLTV rankings. His path is the best proof that when you put your relentless work ethic, skills, and full commitment into your dream, along with the right support, there are no limits that cannot be overcome. We are proud to work with Damjan and to continue supporting him as he writes new chapters with Falcons. Looking at the journey of Kyxsan, his story shows that you can achieve everything if you stay dedicated to your passion!

[G2 CS @G2CSGO]

Roster update: hades will be joining G2 until the end of June on loan from @Monte_Esports

Welcome @hadesCS2, let's steal the Major 💪

[Dawid Szymanski @DavvidSzymanski]

ENG: The clip you shared is from January 15, which is 8 days ago, and the whole thing is out of context. At that point, Siuhy was on the active roster of MOUZ. Please don't mislead people.

PL: Fragment streama, który udostępniłeś, pochodzi z 15 stycznia, czyli sprzed 8 dni, a całość jest wyrwana z kontekstu. W tamtym momencie Siuhy był w aktywnym składzie MOUZ. Proszę o niewprowadzanie ludzi w błąd.

[Kamil Szkaradek @siuhycs]

As of today, I am no longer apart of the MOUZ active roster. Due to the clashing visions, this decision will allow both sides to continue seeking success in their own ways. Thank you to everyone that I had the pleasure to work with, good luck! ❤️

[Paweł Książek @KsiazekPawel]

As always - @HLTVawards and @Professeur_CS thanks for having Polish crew. It is always a pleasure to see so many familiar faces. See you next year!

[PRcsgoo @PRcsgoo]

New chapter🔥

[kyxsan @kyxsancs]

New year, new challenges. I am joining @FalconsEsport, and I am really excited to start this journey with my new team. We will do our best to achieve great things together 💪

[Alex Stefan @s0undcs]

Hello,
Going into 2025 as a FREE AGENT and open to any offers, I'm really motivated and excited for the next season as this break gave me a lot of time to think upon where I'm at as a player and the things I will focus on bringing in the next team.
RTs highly appreciated ❤️

[Kacper Walukiewicz @Kylarrek]

Hello
This year was not what I expected, I thought we could achieve a lot more than what we did. It felt like we missed a kei ingredient to the mix and couldn't make it work :/
However playing at the big stage brought me so much joy that I know I want to do it again and again. I gathered a lot of feedback and learnt so much from my teammates and coaches and that's the upside of this year :)

That being said I want to put that growth to work and play again, I'm looking for a project with a goal to achieve high. Meanwhile ENCE allowed me to explore options and play with mixes, during that time I will be streaming and trying to maintain good form if opportunity arrives.

[Alex Stefan @s0undcs]

Hey there, my time on the 9INE lineup has come to an end, I want to thank everybody, from the players and coaches to the staff for the opportunity and for the amazing experience it was.
As of now, I am now looking for a new home and I am as motivated and hungry as I could be.

[Kacper Walukiewicz @Kylarrek]

I got benched from ENCE, wasn't delivering and we couldn't do anything as this line up. Team had to be rebuilt and I hope boys will succeed from now on going forward!
I want to thank @ENCE for opportunity and it was pleasure to work with everybody. Now i will explore my options and return silniejszy!

[Dawid Szymanski @DavvidSzymanski]

@dance_gg @Dychacs @hadesCS2 @nawrot_cs @miqaqu That was a pleasure Denys!

[Thomas @ThomasCS__]

5W has scammed us unfortunately and gone back on their word, and have stopped all communication with players
