Former Team Spirit CS2 captain Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov spoke during a live stream on his personal Twitch channel about his reluctance to stream Counter-Strike and his plans to build an audience around other games.
I can say this: I think I’ll be playing CS less on my streams than any other games, because that’s what I like better—that’s what I want to do. Maybe it’ll work out—especially, I’d say, I might even be able to grow my audience with people who enjoy watching me play regular games and stuff; I’m just having a blast with it. I mean, for me, it’s awesome, because with CS, well, it just doesn’t do it for me—I don’t know. Here, at least, I log in, and I’m interested in playing and watching; people come in, and they’re also interested in chatting a bit and listening. But in CS, I’m totally burned out. On cast shows, yeah, I still drop by to watch and chat a bit.
Earlier during a live stream, chopper also commented on rumors about possibly joining a new CS2 media team alongside Denis “deko” Zhukov and Artem “ct0m” Maksimov after the latter two left WW TEAM.
