As a long-time fan and follower of Counter-Strike esports, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly exceptional plays and performances from top players over the years. Robin ‘Ropz‘ Kool is undoubtedly one of those standout names that comes to mind when I think about incredible skill and consistency on the CS:GO stage. With a career earnings of over $1.4 million, Ropz has proven himself time and again as a force to be reckoned with, taking first place at numerous prestigious events such as IEM Chengdu, CS Asia Championships 2023, Thunderpick World Championship 2023, IEM Sydney, and ESL Pro League S17.
At the Esports World Cup, FaZe Clan suffered a disappointing defeat, getting knocked out by Natus Vincere with a score of 0-2. The team pocketed a $40,000 prize before leaving the tournament, but this loss left fans and Robin ‘ropz’ Kool himself questioning his form. ropz, who had represented FaZe Clan in this competition for the first time, received a negative event rating – an unfamiliar experience for him.
Ropz Flops?
Ropz is a well-known figure in the Counter-Strike community, boasting over $1.4 million in earnings from tournaments. In the past year, he has emerged victorious at various renowned CS:GO events.
- IEM Chengdu ($100,000)
- CS Asia Championships 2023 ($250,000)
- Thunderpick World Championship 2023 ($250,000)
- IEM Sydney ($100,000)
- ESL Pro League S17 ($200,000)
- Intel Grand Slam Season 4 ($1,000,000)
At the Esports World Cup, ropz underperformed with a rating of only 0.95 on HLTV, marking his poorest score in over three years. An analysis revealed that over the past three months, ropz had averaged a rating of just 1.07, significantly lower than his career average of 1.15.
A significant issue arises with ropz’s performance since the launch of Counter-Strike 2. He has openly criticized CS2 on various occasions, even going as far as declaring his dislike for it and expressing his preference for CS:GO, which was temporarily removed last year to make way for its successor. With growing frustration, ropz appears to be losing enthusiasm, and some spectators have remarked that he continues to play in a manner reminiscent of CS:GO.
Ropz was recognized for his skilled use of movements in CS:GO, but some of these advanced techniques were toned down by Valve in CS2, which might explain the decline in popularity.
