ICY

ICY began his esports career around 2020, playing in Kazakhstan and CIS circuits before joining AVANGAR in late 2021. During his time there, he competed across both CS:GO and early CS2 events, gaining map experience and refining his mechanical and positional skills. In mid-2024, he joined AMKAL Esports, where he spent a period contributing to international tournaments. Later in 2024, he signed with Cloud9, before being acquired by Virtus.pro at the end of the year, where he currently holds the role of primary AWPer under a multi-year contract.

Across his career, ICY has played over 450 professional maps, and his lifetime Rating 2.0 sits near 1.12, with CT-side rating pushing 1.16, showing his strength on defense. His KAST (Kill/Assist/Survive/Trade) metric consistently surpasses 73%, and he averages damage per round (ADR) of roughly 80—a testament to both fragging and steady impact. In recent months (37 maps), he posted a Rating 3.0 of 0.95, with Firepower at 27/100, Sniping at 92/100, Clutching at 80/100, and Utility contributions respectable given his role. While these recent numbers reflect variance typical of evolving stars, his sniper metrics remain a core reason teams invest in him.

Although ICY has not yet won a CS2 Major, he has shown strong placements in elite tournaments and consistent growth in high-tier competition. His total prize earnings exceed US$65,000, with several deep runs at international events. At Virtus.pro, he is expected to play a central role in their AWPing structure, bringing both youth and proven ability to their roster.
