The fact that this is even a discussion that needs to be had is kinda silly.
Because there in no counter argument. This entire esport has reached the heights where its at right now not because of stats, but personalities.
look at pasha, I'm one thousand percent sure there are people who have never played CS but know who pasha is because of his clips that have gone viral etc. he was great in his prime but still what carried him was his character.
people would tune into matches hoping to watch prime fnatic lose because they played into being the villains so perfectly.
CS reached such great heights in BR because of SK-Luminosity. FalleN is such a revered figure in SA not because of his stats or whatever because he had the charisma of a showrunner. Also, Bad FalleN.
Why go far, look at faze. This team has been in terrible shape for a long time now but still has so many fans including me because this organization may have lost its firepower but still, they're a team you wanna root for because they have that personality.
Further, I remember a @SPUNJ mentioning in an interview/podcast that in the early days of his career he once got picked for a team over some other person solely because of his showboating personality, which brought more eyes to the team.
These are only a few examples. The french scene, Stewie on Cloud9, prime s1mple. cadian, apEX, karrigan etc..
Unless you're a player who moves mountains like donk or zywoo, you're not leaving anything behind as a legacy with all the nonchalance. All you're doing is equivalent to going into play CS in cubicles every two weeks, like a 9 to 5.
These things matter, a lot.
One day, players will understand that clicking heads is not enough
They want to get paid the big salaries, but most don't care to contribute to the product that's paying them
If you're not creating storylines, if you don't show any personality, if every time you talk it's just some boring ahhh PR answer, if the only thing you do is come on social media and either say "we won, gg" or "we lost, gg"... no one will care about you or your games (unless your name is donk)
It's pretty sad because big personalities either retired or are close to retiring, and in the "newer generation" there's 1 YEKINDAR for every 20 zont1xs

Insane vouch, one of the best editors I've ever worked with in me years in Esports. Hire this legend 猬囷笍
After almost a year as an employee in Apeks, I've been laid off... This means I'm looking for new opportunities as a videographer/video editor馃А
My career in esports started off as a fragmovie producer, where I worked with people like Shroud, Sparkles, Nadeking & other pro players/youtubers.
I frequently freelanced for Apeks 2017-2023 producing aftermovies, fragmovies, player announcements etc, but last year I got the opportunity to travel to Paris and produce daily vlogs for 16 days straight with @henningmythee, this was a super hard task for me as I've never done IRL content before, but I'm proud and happy I got to experience this and it ultimately paved my way into becoming a videographer & editor for the club during ESL Pro League later in the year.
I got the opportunity to travel around the world making Apeks the only CS org producing daily vlogs at all the big events, with help from my brother @chrissso_0. Which is the hardest task I've ever done, but also one of the most fun one!
Videos produced for Apeks:
