About the Editor

Igor Sazonov spent five years in professional Counter-Strike — playing in mid-tier CIS lineups and standing in for stronger rosters. In 2019, he moved to analysis: demo reviews, tactical preparation, and meta observation as a team analyst.

Since 2022, he has written for Russian-language esports publications and runs a Telegram channel covering the CS and Dota 2 scenes. His advantage is the inside view — he breaks down matches and rosters the way a coach would, not a spectator.
