Molodoy surprised everyone with his statement about his progress on the Counter-Strike 2 pro scene

Danil “Molodoy” Golubenko said that he feels more comfortable being an average player on the Counter-Strike 2 pro scene rather than a favorite, due to the pressure that top esports players experience.

The player shared this opinion with Bo3.

“It's better for me not to be a favorite. People don't have high expectations of you if you're an underdog.”

According to Danil “Molodoy” Golubenko, favorites feel the support of fans, and opponents are afraid to play against such esports players. However, leading pro players also experience intense pressure due to the increased attention of the audience to their actions.

"It's nice when people believe in you and hope for victory, but it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's cool to be the favorite — your opponents are afraid of you. On the other hand, the pressure, attention to every detail, and responsibility for the result increase.

For me, there is no particular difference. I just go to the server and enjoy the process."
