OverDrive about American players

Insider and scout Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov shared his thoughts on the professional Counter-Strike scene in North America. Biryukov believes that players from this region need to train more and take their work seriously, which directly impacts their performance. OverDrive expressed these views on his Telegram channel.

"NAF is sadly reflecting on the fact that he hasn't won anything in a long time, even though he has played with many top-tier players. But the truth is that the North American region is the least motivated when it comes to CS. I've heard from multiple people who have played or worked overseas that American players train in a very relaxed mode, struggle to absorb information, and can take breaks or order something tasty at any moment. There's no deep immersion in the training process whatsoever. So, NAF can keep pondering his failures because Liquid's results aren't going to change."

Earlier, Biryukov commented on the latest roster changes in the pro scene of CS2 during a stream. Specifically, Alexey stated that Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovacs' new team would not achieve any success, and GuardiaN himself would not thrive in the role of a coach. OverDrive also commented on Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa joining G2.
