CS:GO star goes from FPL reject to Major champion in just 3 years

Israeli CS:GO superstar Spinx was told three years ago he wasn’t good enough to play in the FACEIT Pro League (FPL), a third-party matchmaking service for professional players and content creators, he said on Twitter today. But he kept grinding and is now a Major champion after winning the BLAST Paris Major with Vitality on May 21.

This speaks volumes to Spinx’s mentality toward the game and shows how the FPL circuit can gatekeep up-and-coming players instead of giving them tips and helping them develop into better players. Spinx, in particular, needed more assistance than the average FPL player since the Israeli scene has never produced a top-tier team and most of its good players leave to seek opportunities internationally.
