chopper: “I’m not a pro gamer—I’m a streamer.”
Former Team Spirit CS2 captain Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov spoke during a live stream on his personal Twitch channel about his career progression, commented on Team Spirit’s loss to Aurora Gaming at ESL Pro League Season 24, and assessed the latter’s current form.
On his career development
I’m [aiming] for a career in media. I’m a full-fledged streamer. I try to stream as much as possible, and I host community casts at my own tournaments, where I have rights from BETBOOM. So, [right now] I’m not a pro player—I’m a streamer.

It seems to me they didn’t give a *** about the third-place match at all.
On Aurora Gaming’s current form
Now that they have kyxsan, they’ve improved their offense on Anubis. I like how they’ve started playing better… It’s kind of more interesting.
Previously, chopper had already spoken on his personal streams about the development of his streaming career. According to Vishnyakov, his plans include building a new audience across various games, and Counter-Strike 2 is currently causing the former esports player to burn out.
