celebrities that play CSGO

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has drawn several big names in 2022 to try out its acclaimed FPS gameplay. We have a list of all the most popular celebrities that play CSGO.

Video games are no longer just a casual time killer. Sport and media celebrities may have packed schedules, but even they can’t resist the pull of CSGO. Some big names regularly play Valve’s shooter to try and climb the ranks. Here are all the popular celebrities that have tried out CSGO. 

Neymar Jr.

Numerous sportspeople have been known to play CSGO, but Neymar is likely the most dedicated one. The Brazilian footballer doesn’t mess around when it comes to his Faceit and matchmaking rank. He’s also friends with top-tier Brazilian professional players who help him beat high-ranked players in CSGO. Not that he needs help. The footballer has crushed the likes of Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Richard “shox” Papillon in clutch situations. 

Jerzy Janowicz

World-class server Jerzy Janowicz is also an ace aimer in Valve’s shooter. The Polish tennis player is a bit of a rager in CSGO, but his in-game skills make up for his temper. With his entertaining gaming content, he’s netted 66,000 followers on Twitch. The majority of his following comes from Call of Duty, but his fans are always excited to watch him play CSGO.

Deadmau5

Canadian DJ and music producer Deadmau5 has quite a fan following in CSGO. He’s also good friends with former CSGO pro Michael “shroud” Grzesiek. Unlike other celebrities who are into gaming, Deadmau5 isn’t just a casual CSGO fan. The music producer is also invested into CSGO esports and has expressed a wish to watch an event live. 

Soulja Boy

Soulja Boy is likely one of the oldest CSGO fans. He is no longer quite as active as he once was as he’s taken a liking to different types of games since. But his years-old steam account and many hours played show that he was an avid CSGO enjoyer. The Crank That singer has crisp aim in the first-person shooter thanks to his experience in Valve’s FPS. 

Chris Weidman

Pro MMA fighter and former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is another big name that values the classic shooter. The UFC veteran often streams Call of Duty, but his CSGO content is a major hit as well. Fans love to watch him try out his skills in a virtual setting. Despite a lack of recent activity, his Twitch account boasts about 10,000 followers in 2022. 

Jordan Fisher

The “Work It” actor is no longer just a big-screen superstar anymore. The Twitch and YouTube gaming communities adore Jordan Fisher for his regular content uploads. Fisher plays a variety of games, but his FPS game content is a particular hit among his fans.

He was first seen playing CSGO alongside popular streamer Erik “fl0m” Flom. Fisher was a bit confused at first, but his natural gaming instincts kicked in quickly and got him effectively up to speed.
