Dolan 🤝 CS2 Tournament organizers & talent managers — this thread is for you. Contact: DM’s or hiiamdolan@gmail.com A full year of CS2 broadcasts condensed into one 2025 highlight reel, with my focus set on 2026 opportunities 👇

Random esports fact of the day: With the 9z and BetBoom wins #IEM Cologne 2026 becomes the first CS2 major where there isn't a team that fails to qualify for the playoffs after going 2-0. Budapest: G2 Austin: Virtus.pro Shanghai: MIBR Copenhagen: Complexity

With @Monte_Esports making it to Stage 3 of the #IEM Cologne Major, @Rainwakercs becomes only the 2nd 🇧🇬 ever to be part of the CS2 elite! Not only that, but today Aleks Petrov proved that: 1. He is ready for Tier 1; 2. His time on Liquid does not count. Well played!

I never doubted jks!

What do we think, chat?

A bit of a longer post! ✌️ I’ve been quite inactive on social media since the beginning of the year because I’ve been reflecting on my future as a commentator. To be completely honest, 2025 was the hardest year of my life personally. I lost my father, went through a breakup after 5 years together, and dealt with several injuries — including constant and severe lower back pain that eventually took a serious toll on me. At the same time, I started realizing how unstable the esports ecosystem really is. None of my casting achievements would have been possible without my real-life work as a legal advisor. I’ve seen many talented colleagues struggle to make a living from casting esports, and the reality is that it’s a very tough industry — especially for newcomers and upcoming casters like myself. Financially, unless you have a second job or are part of the “1% club,” building a sustainable long-term career in esports is incredibly difficult. During my quiet period, though, I kept working hard — casting almost every day in both Bulgarian and English. I was blessed with the opportunity to work on the Parken Challenger circuit, and with every event, I felt myself slowly rediscover the joy of shouting about my favorite game — something I had lost by the end of 2025. Huge shoutout to the CCT crew for trusting me to cast both Grand Finals of CCT Challengers EU 1 & 2, as well as to EsportsBulgaria, who have believed in me since day one. I don’t know what the future holds. At some point, I may have to make a difficult choice and fully commit to a traditional 9–6 career, which would naturally make it harder to focus on esports casting. No matter what happens, though, I’ll always see working in esports as “a privilege and an honor” — the phrase I open every cast with, and something I truly believe. If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this. I genuinely hope you’re healthy, safe, and happy, wherever life has taken you. Right now, I’m in the best physical and mental shape of my life, and I’m learning to enjoy life both inside and outside of esports to the fullest. I hope you’re doing the same. ❤️

Tell me he is the best player in the world without telling me he is the best player in the world! #IEM

Grand Finals time here at @CCT_Origins Challengers EU #1! On the 🎙️ as we start witg the Consolidation final between RUSTEC and @brute_gg1 Winner plays eLITenergy in the Final! (not my actual outfit for the broadcast, but you can rate it 😌)

Excited to be back on the 🎙️ for another Parken Challenger Championship event! Will be covering the matches from Group B on the D stream! 8 BO1s incoming and I could not have been happier! See you at 12:00 CET! 🫡

One of the people that I'd love to see get more opportunities and work in the space is @Hency_Heccu. Not only does she do both English & Russian interviews and content, but she's been on the grind, going to events on her own expenses to do player interviews. Setting up, filming and uploading herself. And from my personal experience working with her, I can vouch for her professionalism, and how easy and enjoyable she is to share and event with

I know everyone is quite focused on all the VRS-drama happening right now, but as I was preparing for BGL Bucharest (I will be on the 🇧🇬 broadcast) I found something interesting: Vitality is currently the only team out of the Top 20 who has a positive round win % (meaning above 50%) in the last 3 months on the T-side. While this is taken out of context and there are a lot of details missing, it shows how good Apex's T-sides against tough opposition have been, while the other IGLs are struggling to find their rythm. It has been a while since I last saw such a discrepancy.

Whatever your opinion on the VRS system is, one thing is certain: it has made every match in the last couple of days exceptionally interesting. Mad upsets (Alliance beating Aurora, FaZe likely not qualifying for the Major after DraculaN elimination; HEROIC losing to Acend might leave them out of the Major.), forcing teams to go the extra mile (B8 just recovered vs Phantom after being down 0-1 in maps and 5-11 on Mirage;) and the best is yet to come as several direct fights will decide the last spots. What a time to be a fan of professional Counter-Strike!

It might be 1st of April, but I am not messing around! Going LIVE on the C-stream of @pccchampionship 2 BO3s on the menu: 10:00 CET - @AaBesport vs @AMGamingCS2 13:00 CET - winner of the match above vs the winner of @bestia_corp / @phnt_esports Great day to be a CS caster

Thank you, @AcendClub 🇧🇬🥹 👏👏👏 @h4rncs @SPELLANCS @milkycs2 @shaiKycs @SkrimoCS @KalubeRcs

For all my fellow 🇧🇬 CS2 enjoyers: You can watch all @AcendClub matches from Roman Imperium Cup LIVE casted in Bulgarian on the Kick channel of EsportsBulgaria! I will be providing all the analysis, excitement and energy and I want to share it with you! 🫵 19:00 EET vs @CarritoSpain 20:00 vs cswalkers 21:00 vs @ESCGaming 22:00 vs @G2esports See you in a bit! 🎙️

I am honoured to be back and to be surrounded by such a lovely group of gentlemen! Time to get to work - see you on 31.03.2026! 🎙️

Called my fashion designer so we are bringing back my favourite casting combo! On the 🎙️ for the 🇧🇬 audience, covering @UNiTYesports_eu vs Qual4 Come enjoy some Lorgar Rankings action with me! ttv/esportsbulgaria

Una oportunidad grandísima para @R0BIN_lol En tiempos difíciles para el LOL 🇧🇬 sin muchas oportunidades ni campeonatos, me hace super feliz el hecho de que tenemos un búlgaro que forma parte de una organización tan grande! Good luck - make it count!

Was supposed to cover the Grand Final of the EPL for the 🇧🇬 audience of EsportsBulgaria, but mom accidentally hit me in the throat while trying to get a cup. A bruise on the inside and some swelling means I am off tonight! Unlucko and apologies to all my bulgarians🥲

Happy to see Milky get a permanent contract! His IGL background, as well as good relationship with everyone on the team make him the perfect fit for this project! Since adding him, Acend’s gameplay looks way more structured, adaptable and less messy! Bright days ahead! 🇧🇬

I was a bit too tired and overwhelmed yesterday, but I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you who joined the C-stream during @pccchampionship ! In a year without a lot of opportunities, it felt extra special to go back to my casting roots and cover all the 🇩🇰 teams (something which I was doing a ton of when I was starting my career as an English caster back in 2023). Big shoutout to the entire crew behind camera for being supportive, helping me out and working tirelessly to deliver a great event! Looking forward to the remainder of the matches and hopefully we will see each other again in the future! 💜
