2023-08-25 10:17:001WIN captain Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov answered the questions of the fans. He spoke about the difficulties in relationships with girls in CS:GO and health problems for the organization's YouTube channel.
About girlfriends
Of course, many players have girlfriends. Everyone asks if this is difficult, but it seems to me that you just need to reach an agreement that esports is work. Some players bring girls to tournaments and live with them in hotels. I often see this even in the top title-winning teams. I think it depends on the specific partners. If this does not affect [career], and everyone is respectful, then everything is fine.
On esports affecting health
Esports means that you spend a lot of time in a sedentary lifestyle. I think health needs to be maintained by training and physical activity. It's a little harder to do in esports than any other job. It seems to me that it is just a little more difficult to stay fit and in good shape, but it is possible. It all depends on the training schedule and the game you play. For example, I heard that in China, players practice for 4 hours a day, while we do it for 8-10.
Boombl4 has quite a story of a relationship spoiling his career. When NAVI won Stockholm Major 2021, he proposed to his girlfriend on stage. Their marriage lasted less than half a year, with his wife's actions reportedly leading to NAVI breaking its contract with Boombl4. You can read the story of their relationships below.
