2023 is set to be quite the novel and exciting year for Counter-Strike. For the first time since the addition of Ancient, Valve implemented significant balance and map pool changes at the end of 2022. What’s more, the two new maps suggest that, for the first time in a while, Valve is looking to continually shake up their flagship FPS—and in turn, shake up the competition.

“I'll be forgotten in three years, who the [hell] cares.” Those were Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen’s words when asked in an interview what he wants to be remembered for after he retires.

Now that Pyosik stands at the starting line of a brand-new chapter in his pro career; how does he envision himself at the end of the road?

With the structure set and the roster locked, there are no more doubts the lineup has what it takes to finish the year out strong at the BLAST World Final.
