The young 18-year-old player nocries quickly became one of the most talked-about figures in the CS2 scene. The reason was a major scandal: he received hundreds of reports accusing him of cheating. This led FACEIT to invite him to their headquarters for an investigation.

The player himself admits that such attention was unexpected and simultaneously unsettling:

The main reason for my invitation to FACEIT headquarters was the massive number of reports accusing me of cheating. Suddenly, there was a huge hype around me, and several YouTubers started releasing videos with accusations against me, even though they had no real grounds.

Intense Anxiety and Comparison to ropz

Interestingly, nocries became only the second player after ropz to be officially summoned by FACEIT for such an investigation. For the young esports player, this was a significant moment in his career.

Yes, the anxiety was very intense. When you're equated with a cheater, even though you're not one, the word "cheater" starts to sound almost enjoyable. Being the second after ropz to receive such an invite is a great honor for me.

Future Plans

After the high-profile invitation, the player has seriously considered a career in professional CS2. He does not hide his ambitions and aims to play at the highest level one day.

In the future, I might fully remain in esports. My dream is to play in tier-1 teams, especially in Team Spirit.

Additionally, nocries shared that he is inspired by the play of donk—one of the main stars of the modern scene:

I'm a big fan of donk and have great respect for him. I would like to learn as much as possible from his experience and knowledge. I hope that one day this will happen.

A New Level Challenge — FPL

A significant step in his development was receiving an invitation to the FACEIT Pro League. For any young player, this is a chance to prove their level among the best, but it also brings immense pressure.

Of course, it's a very exciting and responsible moment. I will try to present myself in the best light and change some of the negative opinions about me to positive ones.

Strong Results and Self-Confidence

In response to all doubts, nocries demonstrated strong results: in five matches, he secured four victories with a K/D of 108-64, each time becoming the best in his team. This proved that the hype around his name is grounded not only in scandals but also in real gameplay.

Finally, the player shared advice for his last year's self when he was just grinding on FACEIT:

I would tell my last year's self: "You're on the right path. The main thing is to never stop and keep moving forward."

Despite doubts and criticism, nocries is rapidly gaining momentum. He is already compared to the legendary ropz, dreams of joining a tier-1 team, and has a chance to prove that his name will become known in the CS2 world not only because of scandals but also thanks to genuine talent.
