How a Self-Obsessed AWP Prodigy Almost Destroyed His CS:GO Career

How a Self-Obsessed AWP Prodigy Almost Destroyed His CS:GO Career

When it comes to competing at the highest level in esports, confidence can be key to winning in high stakes situations.

Not having enough self belief at the right moment can mean the difference between a monumental victory and a soul-crushing defeat, whereas having too much faith in your own ability can end up biting you where it hurts.

And perhaps in all of CS:GO no one has navigated the line between confidence and overconfidence quite like Owen "smooya" Butterfield: a prodigious but enigmatic talent from the land of tea and crumpets who has made his name flexing on fools with the good ole big green.

But the thing about smooya is that the unshakeable self-belief that’s made him so dangerous on the server has also caused him a lot of problems off of it.
