Casemiro is not only one of the top players for Real Madrid, but also a passionate CS:GO player. Now he’s revealed why streaming on Twitch scares him more than any football game.
The 29-year-old Brazilian has been a fixture on the pitch since joining Real Madrid in 2013. Aside from soccer, Casemiro enjoys spending his free time perfecting his CS:GO skills. He also streams the whole thing for his fans on Twitch.
Casemiro loves CS:GO but gets nervous about it
That’s no surprise since Valve’s shooter is hugely popular in Brazil, and Miro even founded his own esports organization, CaseEsports, for the game. Other football professionals like colleague Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain have already found interest in CS:GO.
What is surprising, however, is that Casemiro, in an interview with Spanish football website MARCA , said that streaming CS:GO made him more nervous than watching 80,000 people at the Bernabéu.
close to the fans
“People are much closer and if I fail there are some insults,” explained the professional, laughing. “When I play Counter-Strike I get a lot more nervous there than when I play at the Bernabéu. I feel more pressure when people watch me play video games live than when I play football.”
This feeling is all too understandable for anyone who has ever been on Twitch or even streamed it themselves. Because anyone who believes that tempers only boil up quickly when it comes to football will quickly be taught otherwise by the comment column on Twitch.
Casemiro is a bad loser
Casemiro also drew interesting comparisons between CS:GO and soccer, saying that he has the most success when playing similar to the real thing.
I’m one of those guys who doesn’t like to lose when I go into the game. I tried to play like a forward or winger and my score was very low. I know my position is a defensive midfielder and I have to help my teammates. What I am in real life, I am in video games.
Does Casemiro have what it takes to be a CS:GO professional?
It is interesting that Casemiro is much more reserved online than on the soccer field. He almost didn’t dare to start streaming. By the way, he affectionately calls his favorite card in CS:GO, Inferno, “my Bernabéu”.
However, Casemiro doesn’t think he has what it takes to play CS:GO professionally. Even if he does well against professionals like Fallen. His fans would certainly not be thrilled if he finally swapped the soccer jersey for the gaming headset.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
