Leaving @HLTVorg


As of today, i am no longer official HLTV employee.
After 5 years i've spent in HLTV, the time has come to an end, and I wanted to say few things.


Let's start from the beginning.
I feel like me joining HLTV was not a coincidence, but some kind of a destiny.
It was the end of 2017, i've messaged MAKKU on his fanpage asking him for some feedback on my movies, cause I was already editing for a year and wanted to know what could i improve.
We've talked and few days later he saw my new movie and really liked it, so as a joke i told him to get me into HLTV, to my surprise he really did and at 18th of December i've really joined HLTV. It was a dream come true for me, as i started working with the editors i've been looking up to for a long time.


At 21st of December we released my first ever movie for HLTV which was 'rain - HLTV MVP by Betway of ECS Season 4 Finals' (well on YT it was released on 22nd, because HLTV used to release the movies on twitch day before YT back then).

The time flew by and as a result of working directly with some good editors i've started getting better and better. Took me some time to create my own style and stuff, but without HLTV i would never get there.


Today I am starting my last movie for HLTV as a official employee, which will be ropz MVP of ESL Pro League Season 15. You might still see me do some movies for HLTV, but it'd be on freelance basis, i am no longer their regular employee.


Lets summarize this beatiful journey:
I don't know if i'd be there, where I am if i didn't join HLTV, i doubt it.
Getting the opportunity to edit for HLTV not only did give me a huge motivation boost and made me realise that this is the direction i wanna push myself in, but I also could build my own name. I've managed to grow as a editor and meet a lot of lovely people in the scene. Most of the people i consider friends i know thanks to HLTV. I really loved those 5 years i've spent in HLTV, wish I could've been here longer, but sometimes you just gotta move on.


Since i've joined i managed to create:
156 Regular clips,
35 MVP movies,
18 Fragmovies,
4 Top 20 Players movies


I'll be forever grateful for the opportunity i've got from HLTV, you definitely changed my life.
HUGE shotout to the whole crew, you guys are lovely! Thanks for everything.
