Swedish player Jakob «pyth» Mourujärvi announced in early May that he was ending his professional career in CS: GO. His most successful part of his career was from 2015 to 2017, when he played as part of the Ninjas in Pyjamas team. She has climbed to the top of the DreamHack Masters Malmo and IEM Oakland tournaments, as well as successfully played at other international level events. After leaving NiP in 2017, he changed several teams, including Chaos and Godsent.
However, he came to the conclusion that in recent years he was no longer able to reach his previous level. Despite the fact that the player continued to develop and acquire new skills, it was difficult for him to become a full-fledged member of the new team and find his place in the established squads. Therefore, he recently made the decision to leave CS: GO and start a professional career in Valorant. He reveals that he is currently practicing daily.
A number of professional cyber athletes have recently announced their move to Valorant, including one of Swole Patrol's players. However, many continue to hold the opinion that Valorant offers nothing groundbreaking, and plan to continue to pursue a career in CS: GO.
