Rising Counter-Strike 2 talent nocries has confirmed that several professional teams from ESL Pro League Season 22 have reached out to him following his successful verification at FACEIT headquarters, marking a huge milestone in his transition from an anonymous grinder to a rising professional prospect.
In an exclusive interview with ESL broadcasters HenryG and HugoTV, the 18-year-old Mongolian player revealed that discussions with pro organizations are already underway. “I can say that some teams that were at this tournament, they reached out,” nocries said, confirming growing interest after his performance and recent integrity clearance.
FACEIT completed a detailed three-phase investigation on Oct. 2 to verify his legitimacy. The review, which included supervised matches at the FACEIT New York headquarters, found no evidence of cheating, multi-accounting, or rule violations.
During these sessions, nocries maintained his high standards, averaging 23 kills per game, a 1.63 K/D ratio, and a 53.4 percent headshot rate on FACEIT-provided systems monitored by their anti-cheat team. His FPL trial invitation has since been upgraded to an indefinite invite, officially placing him among North America’s top-tier competitors.
When asked about his next steps in Counter-Strike, the young player showed remarkable focus. “Yeah, well, of course I have to play some pracs (practice matches). Right now I’m training on my things to play competitive level. So I want to improve myself,” he explained.
His disciplined mindset mirrors past prodigies like ropz, who underwent a similar FACEIT verification before achieving Major success with FaZe Clan. Nocries has already impressed in his early FPL appearances: top-fragging with 20 kills in his debut and following up with 22 in his next game. His FACEIT record boasts 4,354 ELO across 1,137 matches with a 1.51 K/D ratio, numbers that speak for themselves.
With professional offers on the table and his integrity publicly validated, nocries now stands on the brink of a breakthrough. As he continues sharpening his skills and weighing opportunities, the young Mongolian prodigy looks poised to become one of North America’s most promising stars in CS2’s next generation.
