Vladyslav “Qweall” Pivkin

Ok, I am looking for a CS ambassador, basic JD is: - fluent English and Russian - ability to stream and understand CS at a decent level - social media capabilities (can you do TikToks and other short-form content to a high standard?) - develop and maintain a consistent brand voice aligned with Nemesis and our players apply in my DMs

I totally commend @shokeCS for putting this out there and showing what it's like to try and run a CS2 team on the fringe of Tier 1. In my circles, many conversations are asking, "How is this possible?" However, given my experience with the way CYBERSHOKE is spending, this actually looks very reasonable and like a pretty well-run operation. YET he still has a deficit of $322k after 2.5 years. Crazy, right? This just shows the importance of what a skin sponsor could do (Sadly, that revenue stream has been largely removed). It also highlights the importance of well negotiated prizepool take for the orgs. Otherwise, your best bet is to sell players or make a Major. Now, for a team like CYBERSHOKE, both options are not impossible and would definitely generate some inflows. I am not going to pick out what I would do differently to get this closer to being in the black, but I just wanted to explain that even those salaries listed are very competitive. It should come as no shock when what I believe is a well-run op is still quite negative after 2.5 years. I always hope there is more done to support the lower tiers because, without the little guys, the whole thing collapses. Respect Erik. 🙏
