"Some people possess exceptional skills but still face setbacks, feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. They go around in circles, all for a chance. In fact, there is a group of people in the world who not only need to confront opportunities but also withstand the ravages of time. These people are the professional CSGO esports players. They are a group of individuals for whom being in the right state, the right age, and having the right opportunities are all indispensable. Why mention age? Because age has always been an unavoidable and rigid criterion in esports games, with younger players generally having faster reaction times. However, there is a group of players who, holding onto the belief that ""my fate is in my own hands,"" decide to confront age and opportunities head-on. After experiencing a career low, they finally found redemption and a chance to prove themselves in 2022.
STYKO's professional career began with Hellraisers, where he made significant progress. In 2017, the Slovak player reached the peak of his career. He was invited to join Mousesports, winning championships in heavyweight events like V4 Esports Festival, StarSeries Season 4, and ESG Mykonos. However, the team's performance became unstable afterward, gradually going downhill, and STYKO couldn't escape the fate of being benched. After being benched, STYKO moved between teams like Cloud9, NoChance, and GODSENT until early 2021 when he was acquired by FPX, returning to the frontline. Unfortunately, FPX announced the cessation of operations in November last year, and a disheartened STYKO once again found himself without any games to play. Fortunately, he has recently been favored by the Norwegian club Apeks. In the new season, he will join experienced veterans like nawwk and jkaem.
flamie, during his 6 years with Navi, helped the team achieve championship victories in top-tier events like ESL One Cologne 2018 and IEM Katowice 2020 at the peak of his career. However, after being replaced by b1t, flamie faced psychological issues that plagued him. To help flamie, Navi brought in a psychologist for his treatment. Fortunately, flamie's condition improved, and during the transfer window after the Major, he earned himself a contract, participating in the WePlay Academy League Season 2 representing the youth team.
Wearing the aura of being the TOP1 player in 2016-2017, coldzera went through a career downturn in 2019 and 2020. Not only did he fail to achieve good results within the team, but his individual statistics also saw a sharp decline, reaching a career-low Rating. As he aged, his performance and data deviated significantly from his peak. Fortunately, coldzera reached an agreement to join 00nation, and the two-time Major winner will once again fight alongside his compatriots in the 2022 season.
Xyp9x, known as the endgame master, also hit a career low. Xyp9x has always been the most reliable player for Astralis, showcasing excellent endgame skills. During the team's peak from 2017 to 2019, he consecutively made it to the HLTV TOP 20 player rankings for three years. However, after returning from a break in the team in 2020, Xyp9x's form became inconsistent. Particularly noteworthy is his underwhelming performance with a 0.80 Rating, ranking second to last, in important events like PGL Major. Fortunately, Astralis did not lose faith in him. Before the Major started, they renewed Xyp9x's contract until 2025. With the addition of Blamef and k0nfig, Xyp9x is expected to return to the frontline in 2022.
Similarly, after nearly a decade in the CS scene, NBK experienced an inevitable decline in the later stages of his career. Whether with Vitality or OG, the weapon master ultimately became a victim of the team's roster upgrades. Frustrated, NBK publicly announced his departure from CSGO and transitioned to VALORANT. However, in the end, responding to MOUZ's call, NBK returned to his favorite CSGO, with the team's lineup featuring a mix of experienced players and new talent." |
