“There was one playing option I potentially had that would have been better than my past team, but things happened that were out of my control so it unfortunately never materialized. I've thought about coaching in CS on and off at times but I don't feel it's time for me. In terms of talent work, I doubt I'd do it again unless it was with people I knew as I don't really enjoy that line of work."

He reported that many players moving to Valorant have a different motivator than all viewers think:

"There may be some truth to their criticism for some players, but to assume everyone leaving CS is 'securing the bag' is wrong because a good amount of people switching to VALORANT are taking a pay cut, some bigger and some smaller, and the prize money is also way higher in CS."

Damien Steele also shared a moment he regretted throughout his CS: GO career:

“The biggest regret was not getting NAF for NRG as we were supposed to get him for months, but the situation didn't allow us to do so. If we had got him I would have finally completed my perfect team, the one that I was aiming for all those years."

daps started his career at the end of 2012 and ended it in mid-September 2020. For almost eight years of professional CS: GO play, the Canadian has earned a quarter of a million dollars in prize money. He played in teams of all sizes, from participating in small mixes to playing in teams under the wing of an internationally popular club. The last organization to have daps was Gen.G Esports. Now the esportsman has moved to Valorant and signed a contract with NRG Esports, with which he worked for over 3.5 years.
