Hello everyone,
After spending the past four months on the bench, I’m finally ready to return to competitive Counter-Strike. Following my benching at OG, I needed time to reflect on what went wrong over the past months and why I had been feeling so unwell. Over the last year, I struggled both mentally and physically, and I realized I needed to reprioritize a healthy lifestyle.
I never truly understood when other players talked about feeling mentally drained from CS. Now, I completely understand. Over the past few months, I’ve focused on grinding Faceit, dedicating time to fitness, improving my diet, and simply taking a step back to recharge.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to OG. They were always transparent with me and consistently worked to make the best decisions for the team. That said, stepping into the IGL role came with a lot of challenges, particularly due to the frequent roster changes and shifts within the team.
The plan initially seemed clear, but the introduction of a new role, a new coach, and a different playstyle all at the same time made it a complex transition. Adapting to these changes while trying to establish myself as an IGL proved to be very demanding.
Despite these challenges, I’m grateful for the experience and the lessons it taught me. It’s an opportunity I will carry forward as I continue to grow
Today, I feel better than ever—mentally, physically, and individually in the game. I’m ready to take on the next challenge with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.
As a note, my contract with OG runs until the end of the year, I will be a free agent starting in 2025. For any opportunities or inquiries, feel free to reach out to me or my agent at
