MAJ3R

MAJ3R’s esports career began in the late 2000s during the Counter-Strike 1.6 era, where he competed for French teams such as Millenium, VeryGames, and eSahara, earning respect for his disciplined approach and game sense. He later transitioned into CS: Source and eventually into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where he initially played for several French and European squads before making a pivotal career shift.

In 2016, MAJ3R joined the Turkish superteam Space Soldiers, marking the start of his long-standing connection with the Turkish scene. As in-game leader, he guided Space Soldiers to multiple international titles and high-profile finishes, including wins at regional championships, deep runs at events like the ESL Pro League, and qualification for the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018. His leadership style, focused on tactical structure and adaptive mid-round calling, became a defining asset for his teams.

Following the disbandment of Space Soldiers in 2018, MAJ3R spent a short period away from top-tier Counter-Strike before returning to competition in 2021 with the creation of Eternal Fire. He once again took up the mantle of IGL, helping to assemble and lead a roster of Turkish stars and promising young players. Under his guidance, Eternal Fire secured qualification to multiple Regional Major Ranking (RMR) events, appearances at Majors, and victories in regional and international competitions.

As a player, MAJ3R is recognized not only for his leadership but also for his utility usage, clutch instincts, and adaptability in support roles. His presence in the server provides stability, allowing mechanically skilled teammates to flourish within a clear strategic framework.

By 2025, MAJ3R had competed in hundreds of professional matches, represented Turkey at numerous international events, and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money across his long career. His longevity and continued relevance in an evolving competitive scene make him one of the most respected leaders in Counter-Strike.
