In this article, we will talk about some of the most celebrities who play CS2. Let’s find out who these celebrities are!
It’s hard to imagine a celebrity (other than a famous gamer, of course) playing a video game, probably because we’re used to seeing them only for what they’re known for, whether it’s sports, music, or acting. But as strange as it may be to imagine, there are plenty of celebrities who play video games, and there are plenty of them who like to play CS2 from time to time or even more often.
Neymar
Probably the most famous person from the world of sports to ever play CS2, professional Brazilian soccer player Neymar is known to have played and regularly watched CS2 matches. He first started playing CS:GO around 2016 when he met FalleN, coldzera, TACO, and fer when they were the core of the SK Gaming team. According to some statistic trackers, Neymar has reached the legendary Eagle Master and played many matches with professional players such as s1mple. In addition, he has an incredibly rich inventory with over $100,000 in CS2 skins!
Zinchenko
Another famous footballer in CS2 is Oleksandr Zinchenko, who plays for FC Arsenal, also plays in CS2, and even owns a team called Passion UA. About a month ago, Passion’s fifth player couldn’t make it to the match against BLEED, so Zinchenko had to replace him, and he even showed a very good game with a KD of about 0.85!
Haftor “The Mountain” Björnsson
Who said that gamers were weak? Not only did Haftor Björnsson play the role of the Mountain in Game of Thrones, but he also won the title of World’s Strongest Man in 2018 and set the world deadlift record of 501 kg in 2020. Not only is Haftor a strongman, but he is also a successful gamer when it comes to CS2, as he happens to be the best on the server.
Henry Cavill
Cemented in acting history with his incredible performance as Superman and the Herald of Rivia, it turns out that not only is he a fan of The Witcher, but that he’s also a real gamer! He’s been playing video games since childhood, and everyone has probably seen him assembling hardware for his system unit with his own hands. He has quite a long list of games, and CS is his second most-played game with over 2600 hours!
Soulja Boy
With over 12,000,000 monthly listeners, Soulja Boy is probably the most famous musician to play Counter-Strike. On September 11, 2016, Soulja tweeted a link to his Steam account and asked people to add him to play CS with him. He has also streamed many times over the years.
Nikola Jokic
Of course, CS2 is not limited to football players, as legendary basketball icon Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets is a real player himself. Unfortunately, there is no information about his Steam account, so we can’t find out if he is as good at CS as he is on the basketball court.
