How An Old CSGO Journeyman Became the Stable Core of a World #1 Team
- 2 years ago
Audric ‘JaCkz’ Jug was pushing retirement age for many professional esports players when he got his first real shot at the highest level of CS:GO.
Now 28 years old, JaCkz is among the older pros in Counter-Strike. But having only joined G2 Esports at the very back end of 2018 - the first tier-one squad he’d ever been a part of - he doesn’t have the same depth of experience at the top that would usually accompany his age.
Despite this, JaCkz plays with a reliability and consistency worthy of a tier-one veteran, and that’s proven to be exactly what G2 need. He came into the squad after the collapse of the French super-team iteration, replacing players far more tenured than he, but since then G2 have been on a gradual upwards trajectory that recently saw them claim the world number one ranking, if only briefly.
This is the story of how JaCkz proved the naysayers wrong, and went from aging journeyman to the stable core of one of the world’s best Counter-Strike teams.
