CS:GO/CS2 Celebrity Players List
Here’s our list of the most popular athletes who have ever delved into CS2, CS:GO or even earlier versions of the Counter-Strike franchise.
Neymar
Obviously, the list should always start with the Brazilian phenom. As talented as Neymar is with his football skills, he’s also superb at the game. Arguably, the most popular celebrity CS:GO/CS2 player, he’s also very respected by the fans and the pros alike. Neymar is a good friend of s1mple, and they even have some highlights from their time playing together. 
Neymar also possesses an incredible skin collection, including some extraordinary pieces like an Emerald Karambit Gamma Doppler, a Factory New AWP Gungnir, a Minimal Wear Dragon Lore AWP, Case Hardened AK47 and a Howl M4A4. All the above-mentioned skins can be purchased at Skin.Land, the best online marketplace where you can also sell your skins for real money.
Casemiro
Former Real Madrid star and now an MU defender, Casemiro is well-known for his passion for CS:GO/CS2. He’s insanely good and even has his own org called Case Esports. You can catch Casemiro on Faceit, where he was spotted multiple times by the regular players. Casemiro also has an outstanding skin collection, including some similar skins like an AWP Gungnir, a Dragon Lore AWP, and a Howl M4A4.
Nikola Jokic
An NBA Finals MVP, an Olympic medalist and all-round sweet guy, Nikola Jokic is known for his love of League of Legends, where he plays top lane champs like Urgot and Illaoi. However, not many fans knew that he was an avid CS player, at least not until he admitted to spending a lot of time in the game along with Chicago Bulls’ very own Nikola Vucevic.
Oleksandr Zinchenko
A former Premier League champion with Man City and currently a member of Arsenal FC, Oleksandr Zinchenko is a well-known CS:GO/CS2 enthusiast. Zinchenko has his own org called Passion UA where he even managed to secure a map as a stand-in in a professional game. He manages to find the time to play football and spend some time in CS2, having even organized a couple of charity games.
Zhou Guanyu
Zhou Guanyu is not only a Formula 1 driver for Sauber, but apparently he’s a CS2 player as well. He has recently posted an Instagram story where he was showing off his Aquamarine Revenge AK-47 skin after the game with Cadian, who’s also a friend of Max Verstappen. Props to the Danish IGL for bridging the gap between Formula 1 and CS2.
Deadmau5
The legendary Canadian producer/DJ is all kinds of geek, and at one point he was spotted streaming CS:GO with his then girlfriend Kat Von D. Moreover, Joel also played at the International 5, which sparked a wave of laughs and memes at the expense of Dota fans. Deadmau5 seems to be pretty cool with the guys at Valve, producing a cool electronic Music Kit for Dota which you can buy at Skin.Land.
bbno$
Another Canadian musician in our list is bbno$, known for his viral hits and quite an unusual approach to creating hip-hop songs. Just like Deadmau5, bbno$ has his own Music Kit in CS2, which you can also buy at Skin.Land today. What a mess he made after asking on TikTok how to get his music in Valorant. The betrayal.
Mark Hunt
A former professional MMA fighter and a kickboxing world champion, Mark Hunt is a well-known CS:GO player. A Kiwi heavyweight has been playing since Counter-Strike 1.6. Not only that he used to stream his gaming sessions, he also acknowledged GeT_RiGhT as the greatest CS player. Just how cool is this guy? Mark shared a story when he pulled up to a house of a toxic player, but was greeted by a 10-yo boy and felt ashamed and immediately left. Be careful who you’re talking smack to next time!
Borgore
An Israeli DJ/producer and singer-songwriter does not hide his love for the computer games, and CS:GO seems to be one of his more obvious vices. Borgore used to stream his gameplay vids and even played at a Razer HQ LAN party. He’s also responsible for the legendary photo, where he uses his Macbook as a mousepad for flicks and one-taps. This use of Macbook seems pretty fair, considering that Valve did not port CS2 for macOS.
Soulja Boy
We would like you to witness the best moment of a celebrity showing off their incredible marksmanship – Soulja Boy with impeccable spray. If you want to learn how to become this good at the game, then read our guide on spray patterns and recoil compensation.
Dishonorable Mention
Aside from the weird claim that Osama Bin Laden was the Arsenal season ticket holder, it also appears that he was a CS 1.6 player. Upon examining his computers, CIA found a number of games, including Half-Life, Counter-Strike and Final Fantasy VII. Not exactly the kind of guy you want to play your computer game. Not that this piece of information is important or interesting, but we felt the need to share it with you. Now dispose of it however you wish.
