We had the chance to speak with CS2 rising talent from Kosovo — Drin "makazze" Shaqiri. In an exclusive interview for Bo3.gg, makazze opened up about his journey to the main Natus Vincere roster, his adaptation process, and the team’s preparation for IEM Cologne 2025. He also shared his thoughts on the recent changes to the competitive map pool, revealed how he mentally prepares for official matches, and confidently stated that he believes he can secure his place in NAVI.
I started to play CS 1.6 from 4 years old. My brother taught me how to play CS 1.6, so from that time I didn't stop playing anymore.
When I join FPL-C.
I was grinding FPL-C a lot, and there were a lot of players from Kosovo. Gejmzilla texted me and said, "Are you interested to play a mix tournament?" After it went well, we created the KS team.
Hm, it was a tryout. There were 20-30 players. It was a 2-3 week tryout. On the last day, I got accepted into NAVI Junior.
I don't have anyone.
Monkey style.
Yes, for me Anubis was a shit map, so I didn't care that much. And yeah, I'm ready for Overpass.
Tbh, YaLLa Compass meant a lot to me because of the prize pool, but all tournaments are good for progress as a player.
Yes, I was feeling it when we won YaLLa Compass.
This means a lot. Now I have only to show what I'm capable of.
Yeah, ofc I'm confident. Not gonna say a lot of things — I'm just gonna let time show.
I don't want to tell. Just be ready for IEM Cologne.
Not really. Let's see in the server.
Yeah, we had. He's helping me a lot as an individ — how to feel more comfortable and this stuff.
Nah, I don't look at rating/kills. Minimum — playoffs.
We're working hard for IEM Cologne, even though we have a 2-week bootcamp — on mistakes/communication.
Winrate is 100%!
I listen Albania music. Gangsta music 😜
I'm ready for everything. I'm kinda shy also, but I will try to do as much as I can.
I don't even watch, tbh, what people talk about me — negatively or positively — only if some of my friends send it to me.
Yeah, it's the most competitive it has ever been. Excited to see this season.
1. Vitality 2. MOUZ 3. The MongolZ. Hm, I think we just gonna need a little bit of time, and we will be really close 😀
I wanna say that keep supporting us, and just be ready for NAVI ERAAAA!!
