In matchups against ZywOo, almost the entire top scene looks worse than its own standard. And that is exactly why the new statistical sample looks so telling: among all players who played more than 150 rounds against him, only m0NESY managed to maintain a positive indicator.
ZywOo turns even top opponents into negative cases
The strongest part of this statistic is not the fact of m0NESY’s lead itself, but the background around it. The sample includes enough star names, players with a huge amount of top-level matches, but none of them managed to go through this distance better than ZywOo enough to remain in the positive zone.
And this clearly shows the scale of the problem for any opponent of the Frenchman. Against him, it is not enough to simply have a strong tournament, good form, or a big status. Over a long distance, ZywOo still forces most opponents to drop off.

Why m0NESY stands apart here
The fact that m0NESY turned out to be the only positive player in such a sample looks completely logical if we look at his profile. He is a sniper who does not just put up numbers, but very often imposes his own tempo, wins expensive opening duels, and is capable of breaking rounds individually even against the strongest opponents.
In other words, against ZywOo, he manages not simply to “hold on,” but to genuinely respond with the same level of impact. That is exactly why he looks like an exception compared to the rest of the top players, who in this statistical cut have already fallen below the zero mark.
This is no longer just highlights, but an indicator of an elite matchup
Statistics like this are interesting because they filter out superficial impressions. One bright match or a series of clutches is not enough here. If the filter is set at 150+ rounds, then we are already talking about a more serious distance, where randomness has less influence.
That is why m0NESY’s result looks so valuable. This is not a story about one good day against ZywOo, but a signal that over a large stretch he is truly capable of playing against him at a competitive level — and even coming out ahead.
Why this highlights ZywOo himself even more
The paradox of this sample is that it praises both m0NESY and ZywOo at the same time. The first gets a very strong argument in his favor, because he turns out to be the only one who did not fall into the negative. But the second looks even more monstrous, because he effectively “eats” everyone else.
When even world-class stars cannot maintain a positive balance against one specific opponent, that says a lot about the level of that opponent. And in this case, this story once again emphasizes how difficult of a matchup ZywOo remains for the entire scene.
The main duel of the modern scene
In a broader context, this sample once again brings us back to an already familiar conclusion: ZywOo and m0NESY remain the two main individual poles of the modern scene. One consistently dominates almost everyone, while the other turns out to be the only one capable of going through this distance without a negative result.
That is exactly why any statistic where they appear next to each other automatically carries more weight. This has long been not just a comparison of two snipers or two superstars — it is a rivalry between the two main benchmarks of top-level CS right now.
One exception to the general rule
The main conclusion here is as simple as possible: in the sample of players with 150+ rounds against ZywOo, only m0NESY has a positive indicator. Everyone else, regardless of status and number of big matches, remained below zero.
And that is exactly what makes this news hook so strong. It does not simply highlight another good number for m0NESY, but shows how exceptional the very fact of staying positive against ZywOo over a long distance really is.
