Professional CS:GO player Amin sugaR Azimov told Telecomasia.net about his first team, and favorite map and shared his plans for the future.
- Tell us about the beginning of your career.
- I started playing after I entered university, I went to an internet cafe and played the usual FACEIT. I won local tournaments in Baku and saved up money for a computer. Then the Azerbaijani organization GMT came up. After unsuccessful results, the roster was disbanded and svyat called me for a test.
- What was the level of cybersports in Azerbaijan?
- Not very high. Few guys play well. Many have a language barrier that prevents them from playing with Russian-speaking people.
- How did you decide to become a professional player?
- It's simple, I was pretty good. I had a passion for winning, that's all.
- What was your first stack like? Were there any players who have become famous by now?
- The first stack included lov1kus, isolatioN, matusik, en0o and AKIMOV as a coach. I think everyone has heard about each of them!
- Kostya Raijin is being invited to the most prestigious teams, and recently RuFire said in our interview that he is on the wish-list of some good teams. What do you think about it?
- Kostya is a very talented player with a strong AIM. Everyone knew he would have offers to good teams.
- You played with Kostya for a long time. How is he different from the other players?
- He can beat his opponent with his head, but he can also go out and give him one in the head.
- Recently, starix wrote in his group that the AVE team broke up, the organization did not answer the phone, and owed him money. How do you comment on this?
- Starix expressed the team's decision in his post, he wrote that we are considering individual offers.
- What are you guys going to do next? And you personally?
- Of course, I will keep training, look for a team and get results.
- In April, your team became known as ASG. Was that a change of organization or rebranding?
- That's the tag of the organization. Most of the time we played without an organization under the AVE tag.
- Have you received any interesting offers from other teams?
- There are some offers, but not the ones I had hoped for. I am in no hurry to make a decision yet.
- Do you think that if it weren't for the situation with the organization and the player's buyout, you would have had good results?
- I couldn't speculate ahead of time, I think we would have had good prospects.
- Do you know any very promising, but little-known young players in the CIS? Who will play in good teams in a year, for example.
- I won't say little-known, but speaking of the young ones - I like Magnolia from Websterz and donk from Team Spirit Academy. Those guys can make an impact.
- What do you do besides CS?
- I spend most of my time on CS. In my free time I can solve logic problems or go for a walk around town with my friends.
