oskar retires after nearly 20-year career

34-year-old Czech esports athlete Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný has officially announced his retirement from professional Counter-Strike. He shared the news via his X social media account.

I am officially retiring from playing, tough decision to make after all those years but it had to come one day eventually.

Looking back on my turbulent career (doing wrong decisions), I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved, it's more than I could have ever dreamed of when I started. However, I’ve reached to a point where I no longer have the energy and motivation to continue as a player.

That being said, I’m excited to start a new chapter. I plan to transition into coaching, with 20 years of experience, I believe my knowledge of CS can be a great asset to many teams and players.

Šťastný added that he is open to offers for head coach, assistant coach, or analyst roles.

oskar had been competing on the professional Counter-Strike scene since 2006. Over the course of his career, he earned $410,000 in prize money. His previous teams were Fingers Crossed, ALGO, and Inner Circle.
