The 25-year-old Swedish sniper Jackinho has announced his return to the professional Counter-Strike2 scene. After leaving the Metizport roster in early August to focus on his mental health, he now feels ready to come back.

Having taken time to work on personal issues, Jackinho believes he has returned stronger than before. Currently a free agent, he has decided to train with the team Lilmix for upcoming events. His previous period with Lilmix ended with strong personal statistics, demonstrating his skill, though the team failed to reach the finals at a local LAN tournament.

His recent statement about returning stronger highlights his commitment to long-term stability and high performance.

Jackinho expressed gratitude for the support he received and emphasized the importance of mental health in an industry known for its high demands. This break might be the turning point needed for him to return with a clear mind and be ready for new challenges on the professional scene.
