Last night, a small amusing incident happened that shocked the entire internet—
Famous leaker KRL dropped a bombshell:
m0NESY will be in contact with a Tier 1 team, and negotiations with Falcons have entered an advanced stage. An official announcement is expected soon.
Now that we know m0NESY has renewed with Falcons, looking back at what he said from Jame's perspective, there is nothing wrong with it either. He did have contact with a Tier-1 team, and he did negotiate with Falcons, but when everyone saw this news, they preconceivedly ruled out a renewal with Falcons; and since KRL is a well-known leaker whose leaks are always accurate, his words carry authority, so everyone believed: m0NESY will leave Falcons!
In addition, elsewhere, another revelation by another leaker harumi provided a perfect assist, making the whole thing even more credible:
It is said that Falcons have run into serious funding problems. Either the money has run out, or investors are tightening their wallets. They have already been shutting down rosters across multiple different projects, and it's unclear what will happen to the CS division, but even from there some low-quality rumors have surfaced.
Oh, everyone takes one look and thinks the oil team is out of oil! "May shut down different projects." Then look at Falcons now — top players with huge prestige, massive salaries to pay every month, yet they just can't beat other teams. Hmm, perhaps that disappointed the Falcons owner, and with money running short, after thinking it over, they decided to just sell off the sea cucumber. And since domestic players have limited channels to learn about the outside world, this rumor will be amplified and exaggerated as it spreads among the player community, easily turning from "Falcons is facing funding issues" into "the oil team is out of oil."
Falcons fans are devastated, then started wondering where he will go? A team that can afford Sea Cucumber must be a wealthy powerhouse, strong enough to tempt Sea Cucumber, and ideally with a compatible language, so that would be —
Green Dragon! The most lore-accurate setup, playing with donk, mostly Russians speaking Russian, a strong team with a rich club, Xiaodong plus Haishen would be simply invincible, sh1ro hearing all this:
The highest probability is Green Dragon, fast-forwarding straight to "Thank you sh1ro", as players say:
In addition, the biggest contributor, harumi, who said "the oil team is out of oil," actually believes that "the oil team is going to sell sea cucumbers." His view is:
He posted this picture himself
Although m0NESY's contract renewal will most likely be discussed with his dad NiKo, if he really leaves Falcons, then:
Meme update: Let's all find the sea cucumber together! Now the sea cucumber is really invisible. When zonic was explaining, why was NiKo staring at that mouse?
m0NESY's friend buster expressed his confusion and some anger on stream.
"I got scared too. Of course... alright, m0NESY might leave Falcons. But why the fuck did I get a Falcons eagle tattooed on me, damn it. (sneezes) Achoo!... Fucking hell, screw it. What the hell did I do this for?" (He previously got an eagle tattoo to commemorate Falcons' Cologne victory)
The strongest talent scout on Earth, legendary insider, and donk's discoverer OverDrive also went live to answer questions:
“So, ready to find out where m0NESY is transferring to?” (pauses for a moment) “I fucking have no idea where m0NESY is going, and I just think this is total bullshit. (laughs) I don't know why you guys think I (would know)...”
His intuition was right, and he doesn't care where the sea cucumber goes, he only cares whether anyone attacks his beloved donk and Green Dragon — attacking donk and Green Dragon is unacceptable.
Follow-up: When he learned that m0NESY had renewed his contract until 2030, he said, "m0NESY made the wrong move... He and kyousuke are wasting the golden prime of their careers on a project with a questionable future. By the way, this team probably won't last until 2030." That was close, thankfully this step happened — without it, OD would have been OOC.
Paipai Bear🐻 says Sea Cucumber is 100% going to Mongolia
910: Paipai, come answer the phone
Guess what I'm going to say
Well, if he really went to Little Bee, Brother Zai would undoubtedly be very happy, "Now those four guys and that bald guy won't bother me playing Delta for a while."
In addition to the heartbroken Falcons and Dragons fans in China, foreign players also speculated that he was joining the Green Dragons. Falcons then officially announced that Haishen has renewed his contract until 2030, but the title was still misleading, Ilya Osipov, thank you for everything.
Players took one look—is he being sent down? Clicked it open, tsk~ his contract has been extended to 2030.

Fans who found out about all this felt like their feelings had been "betrayed." Analyst Mauisnake had just been speculating, and upon seeing this, angrily said, "KRL is a liar, taking money to fabricate fake leaks. First it was Twistzz to Vitality, now this, never trust him again." He had just believed it... He even speculated that Sea Cucumber would go to Green Dragon, sh1ro would go to 1win to form Red Star, conveniently replacing Art Frost. Ugh, why is this sh1ro so mean, always chasing me to kill aaaaaaaaa
The Falcon official account also mentioned below:
Big thanks to @KRL_STREAM for giving the CS community a little scare.
Russian media reported: The sea cucumber stayed at Green Dragon for an hour and a half and then returned.
sh1ro: *! Where are those who just said I was replaced by the sea cucumber?!
So the saga has come to an end for now, m0NESY will continue to fight alongside his beloved daddy NiKo as a father-son duo. And in this whole "hype" episode, KRL gained attention — this guy had a blast baiting everyone. Falcons got the buzz, Haishen got the traffic, everyone walks away happy.
The spectacle of fooling the entire internet rivals Zhongli faking his death, and is no less than Perfect World's previous stunt. Perfect World asked CS players to guess which city in China will host the 2027 Major? Players guessed for half a day, only for Perfect World to officially announce it is still Shanghai. Players:
m0NESY says Make falcons great 💚:
With the official announcement, the matter is over. If the biggest victim of this incident were to be chosen, it would definitely be him:
Peaks breed hypocritical supporters, dusk witnesses devout believers.
