Counter-Strike
Before starting his Valorant career, nukkye played Counter-Strike for teams such as HellRaisers and The Imperial. After ending his Valorant career in 2025, he decided to return to CS2. The player is already actively practicing, as he shared in his statement:
I’ve always been a hard working person, willing to put the time and efforts to the game in order to get results. I’ve already been grinding CS2 for 3-4 months. I worked a lot to adjust to the game with playing a lot of faceits and watching demos + officials.Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas
Prospects
nukkye is actively looking for opportunities to continue his playing career in CS2. Considering the current instability of the Valorant scene outside the Tier-1 level, his decision seems justified. With new experience gained in Valorant and his background in Counter-Strike, he has all the chances for success. However, only time will tell if this decision was the right one.
