![Thank you Cologne 🫶🏻!
This year hit different, not working the event felt strange, the first day was really depressing but I ended up still having a great time making content, watching games in the arena with my wife & friends, doing my own signing session & fan meetup…I felt so much love & support from everyone that warmed me inside❤️!
I have never worked the Cologne stage, I’ve always been the interviewer but I know it is not just given, you have to earn it and I won’t stop until I make that dream a reality to stand on that legendary stage, bringing the hype & rocking it for you Counter-Strike world…I want it so much and I will keep grinding and improving until I make it happen, that’s a promise, I’m speaking it into existence!]()

It’s honestly great to see how happy, motivated and excited he is, you can see he’s enjoying the game again and starting to thrive while playing with FaZe…this team always gets better when they hit the arena, let’s see if that FaZe magic is possible with s1mpleo 👀!

Here’s some of the behind the scenes photos from the 1xbet_esports Austin Major video that we filmed in Astana 🇰🇿!
I was the “sherif” in town and we had a real actor batyrkhan_adilkhanov as my deputy, he had my back as the mongolz.gg rolled into town.
Shout out to everyone from ablay.agency for all their hard work, it was great to work with the team and a super fun experience for me, very different to anything I am used to and I learned a lot!]()

![Alga Kazakhstan! Alga Astana 🇰🇿! History has been made with the first big Counter-Strike event finally coming to the country thanks to pglesports and their community did not disappoint!
They showed the world how much they love Counter-Strike, how much they deserve to have top tier Counter-Strike action in their country and on Sunday they filled that arena out and were electric all day long!
It was my first time visiting the country and for sure would go back. What impressed me so much is how many young people, 7-13 years old who are also playing and watching our game…this is great for the future of Counter-Strike and fills me with joy! I did 3 signing sessions over the weeekend and tried to give as much time as possible to all who wanted photos or a sign…I am sorry I could not do more but my work comes first.
For sure I’ll be back in Kazakhstan in 2026 for another memorable and epic event!

![Behind the man you see on stage interviewing players is this incredible woman, who is strong, intelligent and believes in me like no one else.
She pushes me to do more and become better each and every day. She encourages me to follow my dreams and never lose sight of my goals…she never holds me back and she truly wants the best for me in everything to do and she is my wife!
Just look at her face, look at how proud and happy she is to see me win this award. She is with me at every event, helping with content, taking photos, coming up with ideas on what we can do behind the scenes to share with the fans…honestly this award is equally hers as it is mine. Thank you for everything wifey, I love you ❤️!

![2024 was a year I can be thankful for, thankful for the opportunities, for the people in my life, for the job I have that I love to do, for my wife who is my biggest supporter and my rock.
It’s been one hell of a year, with so many events, fun moments and travels to new and exciting places as well as my son and parents getting to see what I do on stage for the first time…so I put together some of my favourite photos from the year to share with you all!
Bring on 2025, I don’t know what it will hold yet but I am positive for another amazing year of great experiences and may you all have a great year ahead of you! I don’t believe in new year resolutions but if you plan to start something and you really want something, then do it now, don’t wait for tomorrow, chase your dreams and go get what you want from this world as tomorrow isn’t promised!
Happy New Year 🎉]()

![Thank you to everyone who showed up to the fan meeting in Kyiv - it was really great to meet everyone! I know it organised very last minute, I announced it on Sunday and hosted it on Monday but still so many of you turned up. I hope this was something positive for all who attended in such a dark time in Kyiv & Ukraine.
This would not be possible without the team at pride.premium.gg who were so helpful & welcoming. They provided me with everything I needed. From the PC’s to the streaming setup, even their own commentators. This is more than just a gaming center, this a truly premium space and done in the right way. We got to enjoy very tasty food, smoothies and there is so much more on the menu I didn’t have time to try. For sure the next fan meeting in Kyiv will be here as well!
You guys surprised me with how many questions you asked and it was great that I could take time and answer in detail without having to rush. It felt like a very personal and friendly Q&A. I was impressed with some of the players who took part in the show match, some 2300 and 2700 elo players in the lobby, this is a great sign for Ukraine and even the young 14 year old xav1to showing up, part of the next generation coming through 👏🏼👏🏼!
I am sorry it ended so fast, I thought 3 hours would be enough but next time I will make it longer and I will plan it better and announce it earlier so more people can attend and we can get more games in together.
Thank you for all the love and support, stay safe and happy new year to you all, never lose sight of your dreams and goals even with everything that is happening now. You must always remain positive even in the dark times! GG 👊🏼 and Glory to Ukraine 💙🇺🇦💛!]()

![Mr & Mrs Banks 💍 12.09.24 ♾️
I feel so lucky to have such a strong and confident woman by my side who believes in me and everything I do. Liliia, you accepts my flaws and always help me to improve. I know my lifestyle is not easy but you jumped into it all headfirst, you understood it and embraced it.
You don’t just agree with me to make me happy, you don’t just tell me that I am right or what I want to hear, you challenge me and help me understand what I need to do to be the best version of myself and you truly desires the best for me.
It is a special love, one of a kind and one that is now forever as we have tied the knot. I am ready to handle everything that life throws at us together, as a team, as husband and wife ❤️!
Forever my queen, always by each others side, this is our forever. I adore you 🥰❤️!]()
