By 2024, he had already played over 6100 matches, which is more than even many professionals, including his friend Donk.

Nickname kyousuke on Steam and Faceit, CEMEN_BAKIN, inspired by a character from the TV series “Molodezhka”, was a factor in his recognizability. This original nickname, combined with his outstanding stats, quickly caught the attention of scouts and the community.

Kyousuke stood out for his aggressive style, confident shooting, and high game intelligence. In May 2024, he was noticed by scout Alexei “Overdrive” Biryukov and invited Maxim to a Spirit Academy test. He successfully passed the test games and that was the beginning of his professional career.
