Despite doubts about his age and ability to compete at the highest level, dupreeh is showing his dominance in the new CS2 game cycle. The 30-year-old player, who is the only five-time CS:GO Major champion, has yet to have a bad map since the beginning of CS2. In his 15 matches with Heroic, he hasn’t had a negative rating, maintaining an impressive average rating of 1.28.
After being cut from Vitality’s starting lineup, dupreeh faced skepticism about his performance as he entered his thirties and became a father. However, the idea that age affects esports pros’ performance has been contradicted by experts who claim that factors like stress and overwork play a more significant role. Dupreeh, determined to continue competing at the highest level, expressed his ambition to win his sixth Major in his hometown.
What’s even more surprising is that dupreeh is achieving this level of dominance while playing with a dysfunctional Heroic team. With the permanent loss of cadiaN and the potential departure of stavn and jabbi, Heroic’s future is uncertain. However, dupreeh’s performance has helped the team qualify for the quarterfinals of the Thunderpick World Champion tournament.
As we await the upcoming matches, it remains to be seen if dupreeh can maintain his exceptional form. The $500,000 CS2 tournament will continue on Friday, Nov. 3, and all eyes will be on dupreeh and Heroic as they strive for victory.
