AdreN‘s CS:GO biography

The future CS:GO player was born on 02/04/1990 in Almaty. During his school years, he was fond of PlayStation, football and chess. In 2003, Däuren and his brother Kairat trained in Quake 3 and prepared for the tournament. Unfortunately, but unexpectedly, the discipline was excluded from the World Cyber Games.

Then Däuren decided to play CS 1.6. When CS:GO appeared in 2012, he switched to this discipline, joining the Virtus.pro team. Moving from team to team, he achieved significant victories. From 19.01.21, he became part of K23. The most outstanding achievement is the title of the Major in Krakow in 2017 and the title of the best player in this tournament.

Däuren Qystaubaev training process in CS:GO

In 2003, he assembled a peer team. They played 6 hours a day. When the company started to fall apart in 2004, Däuren continued to train “like crazy.” Since the summer of 2004, he has been spending nights at the club, taking lessons from experienced gamers, playing mixes, and fixing mistakes.

As a result, he started to win, and in 2006 Däuren got to the WCG Kazakhstan final. By 2008, he realized he was having shooting problems. Therefore, I began to shoot 3000 bots every 10 days. The result was a victory at the tournament in Cologne. Immediately after that, I got to the training base in Moscow.

Däuren advises novice players never to give up and not mind more experienced people. And also a lot, to train every day. Victories can only be achieved by hard work! It is better to start with bots and then play with stronger opponents. And you also need to decide what role to develop immediately and watch demos of athletes of this type.
