Oldest CS2 Pro Players

Counter-Strike2 is a game that requires the gamer to make lightning-fast decisions and react quickly, so the oldest CS players are quite a rare phenomenon, especially at the top. Canadian scientists studied the best age for video games. The researchers' conclusion was harsh: after the age of 30, players cannot compete with young people. However, the heroes of our rating today refute these studies, so let's get to know them better.

For those interested in the professional CS2 scene, we recommend checking out the CS2 player rankings, showcasing the top players' standings.

DUPREEH — PETER RASMUSSEN — MARCH 26, 1993

DUPREEH — PETER RASMUSSEN

Professional CS2 player and champion of Major tournaments, dupreeh, is one of the brightest representatives of the Counter-Strike school in Denmark. He started his career in Counter-Strike: Source, yet he achieved nothing significant at the time. Only when he switched to CS:GO in mid-2012 did he start his professional career.

In recent years, he has defended the colors of such organizations as Copenhagen Wolves, Team Dignitas, and Team SoloMid. Despite being in different organizations, dupreeh's teammates rarely changed, and since 2013, his teams have always included device (devve) and xyp9x, Peter's best friends. In early 2016, dupreeh, along with his ex-TSM teammates, secured sponsorship, and they laid the foundation for the new organization Astralis. Having played all 19 CS Majors, he's one of the most decorated players in the history of the game. And though he is on the oldest CS2 esports player list, he isn't ready to retire just yet.

FALLEN — GABRIEL TOLEDO — MAY 30, 1991

FALLEN — GABRIEL TOLEDO

Gabriel is not the oldest Counter-Strike pro player, but he definitely stands out. This is the only top player who caught all versions of Counter-Strike: CS 1.6, CS: Source, CS:GO, and CS2.

Gabriel has a very long track record. These are two victories at Majors, 85 LAN tournaments played, including 13 victories and two places in the list of the best players in the world for his AWP plays. However, many admit that Gabriel's best achievement is not the titles but bringing Brazilian CS to the world level.

Now, FalleN has many temptations to end his career. He has media weight, incredible popularity, a business in the form of the Games Academy school, and a store selling various computer peripheral devices. Combined with having a family, his desire to compete may seem strange to some. However, when, even at an old age by eSports standards, you are interested in a club like FURIA, motivation appears by itself.

Player rating: 1.02

KD (index): 1.14

Amount of prize money: $1,201,588

Major tournament achievements: 1st place EPICENTER 2017; 1st place ESL One: Cologne 2016; 2nd place Flashpoint Season 1 2020

SNAPPI — MARCO PFEIFFER — 9 JUNE 1990

SNAPPI — MARCO PFEIFFER

Among the oldest CS2 players, Marco is a rare example of the oldest CS pro who performs consistently but has never won at least one Major. The main reason may be the frequent change of teams. Thus, from 2013 to 2022, Snappi has already replaced 18 teams, i.e., approximately one team per six months. Of course, playing to the maximum with your teammates in such a short time is impossible. As a result, we see very modest achievements for a player of his level and no less modest prize money earned by gaming at a professional level.

Player rating: 0.92

KD (index): 0.95

Amount of prize money: $439,475

Major tournament achievements: 2nd place Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023; 1st place Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023

KARRIGAN — FINN ANDERSEN — APRIL 14, 1990

KARRIGAN — FINN ANDERSEN

During his career, Karrigan failed to win a major. Still, he performed very successfully in tournaments of lower ranks, for example, at ESL One, ESL Pro, and ELEAGUE, where he regularly took first place with his team and earned about 1 million dollars.

Finn stands out among the oldest CS2 pro players because he has two higher education degrees. He received his Master's degrees in Business Administration and Auditing in 2015 from Copenhagen Business School. So Karrigan has prepared for the end of his professional career and, perhaps, has already outlined plans for future activities outside of CS2.

It is also interesting that his father supported Finn in his passion for the game. He still periodically accompanies Karrigan to tournaments and helps the oldest CS2 pro player with his preparation.

Player rating: 0.90

KD (index): 0.89

Amount of prize money: $1,985,352

Major tournament achievements: 1st place Intel Grand Slam Season 4; 1st place PGL Major Antwerp 2022

RPK — CEDRIC GOIPOUET — AUGUST 12, 1989

RPK — CEDRIC GOIPOUET

This is the oldest pro CS player in our rating. He started his gaming career with Counter-Strike: Source and is a winner of about 50 Counter-Strike: Source tournaments as part of VeryGames. In 2012, he switched to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but after playing for about six months, he “ended” his professional career.

However, this was not the end for the French oldest CS pro player, as in November 2014, he returned to replace the banned KQLY as part of Titan eSports. After being on the team for about a year, Cedric and other members of the roster were left without the support of the organization since it ceased to exist at the beginning of 2016. Still, the players did not stay without a “home” for long, and already on February 1, they joined the G2 eSports camp. After reshuffles in February 2017, he moved to Team EnVyUs, and from 2018 to 2021, he was a part of Vitality.

On September 2, 2021, Cedric ended his career in pursuit of his new passion and opened a business in the automobile industry. But who knows, maybe this time, too, he's waiting for an epic comeback in CS2.

Player rating: 0.97

KD (index): 0.98

Amount of prize money: $559,421

Major tournament achievements: 1st place BLAST Premier: Fall 2020; 1st place Esports Championship Series Season 7 — Finals

CONCLUSION

Despite the popular belief that eSports is the prerogative of the young, we see clear evidence that there are exceptions to any rule. Perhaps age is really just a number that means nothing to truly passionate people, and each of the oldest CS2 pros confirms it.
