In esports, going pro young sounds like the dream… but what happens after you make it? In this video, I sit down with  @styko  (former Counter-Strike pro turned content creator) to talk about the real challenges young players face when they enter the professional scene. From handling big salaries at a young age, to navigating team dynamics, pressure, and communication, t’s not as simple as just being good at the game. We break down why so many talented players struggle to adapt, what organisations get wrong, and what actually helps young pros succeed long-term.#counterstrike #cs2 Your tech is expensive, treat it that way.
