Team Liquid’s captain Nick nitr0 Cannell discussed the current situation in the professional CS:GO scene. In an interview, the American athlete expressed enthusiasm for the future release of Counter-Strike 2.

About the CS:GO pro scene

I think there is no clear favorite in the scene now, making it much more competitive. When there is a team that wins everything, sooner or later, they realize that they are being watched and repeated, ultimately challenging the goal. But if you look at the current state of CS:GO, you will see that each team has a unique style, making the game interesting to watch and study. I think the current situation on the pro scene is the most intriguing ever, as each team has a super unique style of play.

About the future of Liquid in CS2

Ideally, we'd like to be in the top three teams in the world once Counter-Strike 2 is released. We're one of the teams that does a lot of theory, and we're good at putting our ideas on paper and in the game. With the release of Counter-Strike 2, only the sky will be our limit, and I think that the update will give us strength.
