WHO AM I:
👋🏽 I'm Martin, in esport world known as STYKO. I’ve played CS:GO professionally for a few years in various best international teams in the world.
👣 I used to be a part of HellRaisers, where my esport journey started. I represented mousesports and peaked #2 in the world and I also wore Cloud9 and FPX jerseys, one of most famous esport organisations in the world. Now I am part of team Apeks.
🎮 I post videos on KZbin with means of bringing you closer to what life of professional gamer looks like.
🔦 You will find a variety of esport related content around CS:GO and general gaming such as highlights, tutorials, guides, streams & POVs.
----------------------
MY WEBSITE / BLOG:
🌎 I’m trying to create my very own little space on the internet. I want to use it as a little hub where I can share whatever I find interesting from the gaming / tech world and create some written blog-style content as well. It’s a new project so it’ll take some time.

GET IN TOUCH:
📝 If you’d like to give me a feedback, talk or have a question that I might know an answer to, feel free to join my Discord and ask me there. It’s always me replying, I don’t have anyone set up to interact with you and it’s also the best place to have meaningful 1-on-1 conversation.

📬 Another option, especially for business related things like sponsorships, partnerships, promos etc. contact me via my business email: [e-mail]
I try my best to reply to fans but there is only so much time in the day to respond to everyone and I need to filter or ignore haters, trolls & negativity. 😪

I always thought that you were very underrated as a player, so glad you are doing well in Apeks :D Very good video explaining your journey, gl with the team ^^

[@bobij0]

I hope you'll bounce back with Apeks ❤

[@eebowenn]

Wow. Your storytelling i so inspiring, man! The narrative and pacing in this is amazing aswell. Congrats on another banger of a video, Martin! And as always, I wish you the best of luck

[@STYKO]

Thanks! Glad the efforts I put in pays off 🙏🏽😊

[@donkboywtf5327]

This is one of the best ideos i have ever seen about a competitive mindset. Just like cloud 9 we all see how amazing you are both on and off the server STYKO.

[@ohneilgang9469]

because of you and Jkaem popping up on my yt feed, i grew to love apeks as a newbie to cs. Cheers! Keep the vibes up this year, dont let any random defeat get to you guys!

[@hamdansalih]

you just made me a fan, thank you STYKO for your story

[@elemer2089]

Been playing since 1.6 and ofc watching cs go since its release. ive seen you play for a long time. Really nice video of competitive cs from your perspective, earned my sub, good luck in the future! (Extra respect points if you speak hungarian;) )

[@FiftyKcal]

These videos are really great. Nice to get some insight. Was pretty sad when jL departed from Apeks to NaVI (tho understandable, it's a once in a life time chance) because you were achieving big things, but nice to see you guys are still fighting strong in Apeks. Rooting for you everytime you guys are playing!

[@qBeYcarpet]

Very cool video👌 best of luck in da future

[@DWo1fR]

big love for you bro love from sweden

[@FiftyKcal]

Btw ye, I would be interested in a seperate video where you explain why early iteration of Apeks was not working.

[@tymol777]

i like your content, in case of that video i think some of the parts are left out to help build a better story, i might be wrong here, but also that would be a good lesson, take what's good that happened and move forward i think you are a great example of that mentality, gj and thanks for the content

[@Andru272]

Amazing Video 🔥

[@Tobias-qv7ij]

Very good video! More of these!!

[@isomen9617]

[@Desss30]

[@gumas236]

Vždycky jsem tě bral jako good hráče, ale na Majoru si to potvrdil. Navíc po pár rozhovorech s tebou co jsem viděl mi příjdeš i jako fajn týpek. Fandím dál. A zajímalo by mě i video o tom IGL struggle :D

[@tim6872]

[@screes219]

Čau styko som tvoj veľký fanúšik gratulujem k majoru boli ste tam perfektný mám 13 a ty mi dávaš motiváciu hrať cs go a snažiť sa byť takým dobrým ako si ty 1360h.

[@STYKO]

Vďaka

[@AcilioNcs]

Good video bro

[@STYKO]

Thank you bro :D good luck with your new team! :)

[@Dozbik]

I'd be curious to find out about your POV on why you being an IGL didn't work out.

[@STYKO]

Alright, it is exactly 1 year anniversary from that disaster, will do the video about it :D

[@johnnybingo3411]

Nice video! ❤ but just interested in what sens you use now. Some sites say 1.3 some 1.8. Still 1080p res?

[@STYKO]

res 1920x1080 and sens is 1.6, using it for a year or so 😊

[@leodrk]

[@xqdbpx]

I love your content. I want to be you when I am close to my 30s

[@user-qt2gx6hp9u]

хороший парень, добрый.

[@radogaraj8189]

Kam si chcel ísť na vysokú?

[@STYKO]

Dostal som sa na EUBA. Prvy rocnik som ukoncil, no potom som studium prerusil pretoze som mal strasne vela cestovania, treningov a turnajov a preto som mal velmi zlu dochadzku :/

[@dmitry7967]

Can confirm nEopyhte sucks .. curently leaving the org xDDD edit. - also i would love to become best i can be... same as u are

[@STYKO]

I have good memories about nEophyte. They gave me a chance to represent them and I grew so much as a person even when I was just 16 years old. I have to say, this happened 10 years ago, things may change. Good luck in your journey, bro :D

[@dmitry7967]

@@STYKO Thank you nEophyte is curently owned by different ppl and they just want the name to stay they dont put any effort into it at all Thanks for the words i hope to make at as a igl and only this messege means alot THANKS

[@user-to5fh4le1p]

you forgot the part about where you hide dma cheats with spoofed rogue drivers and a keyboard...

[@STYKO]

yeah, that part had to be edited out :(

[@yooray6214]

Pamatam si ta este LANka za PERUNPG :D

[@STYKO]
