While declining to specify the exact amount, m0NESY acknowledged the substantial investment but emphasized it didn't affect his performance: "It's an incredible sum! Many young players might feel pressure knowing such an amount was paid for them, but that wasn't the case for me."
The investment has proved worthwhile, with m0NESY helping G2 secure multiple prestigious titles, including IEM Cologne 2023 and BLAST Premier: World Final 2022. Despite community jokes about the "-600k" and "+600k" comments in chat during his plays, m0NESY's performance has validated G2's decision to acquire the young talent.
