Aleksib told how headtr1ck is similar to m0NESY

Captain of Ninjas in Pyjamas, Aleksi Aleksib Virolainen, compared Daniil headtr1ck Valitov to Ilya m0NESY Osipov. The Finnish esports athlete also noted the similarity of the snipers.

Are headtr1ck and m0NESY really similar in terms of gameplay?

Not only are both players alumni of the Natus Vincere academy, but they have also played together. It's therefore not surprising that they occasionally exhibit similar actions. Despite this, it cannot be said that they are two identical snipers. headtr1ck is only starting his journey on the tier-1 scene and still has to gain experience. Meanwhile, m0NESY has already established himself at the highest level, makes a real impact in his team's game, and is focused on winning trophies with G2 Esports.

Aleksib thinks that due to the friendship between headtr1ck and m0NESY, they have common habits both on and off the server. He also noted their love for the game CS:GO.

I can see some similarities but I cannot put my finger on a lot of things because of the fact that I haven't played that long with headtr1ck yet. But I feel like they're really good friends with each other so it is quite obvious when you're really good friends with someone that you have some of the same habits. So, I can see some of the same habits in headtr1ck, see that he likes to grind a lot, he enjoys the game a lot and he is having fun, which is something m0NESY did as well. It's really cool to see that he's enjoying the game a lot and it kind of makes you motivated as well when you watch him play. I feel like flashy is the word I want to use. Just watching them play, you can see that they have this flow in them that you know they're going to be good and you know that even though headtr1ck is inexperienced, but with experience, he's going to be good.
