CSGO: K0nfig responds to criticism in series of eye-opening tweets DreamhackProfessional CS:GO player Kristian \u201ck0nfig\u201d Wienecke, who currently represents OpTic Gaming, has responded to criticism in a series of revealing tweets in the early hours of October 4. Following Duncan \u201cThorin\u201d Shields\u2019 fascinating feature on the Dane, in which he refers to K0nfig as \u201cone of CS:GO\u2019s lost talents and tragic cases\u201d, he wrote out an eye-opening series of posts addressing the criticism \u2013 saying that Thorin is completely right. Kicking off the long series of tweets, K0nfig promises to return to \u201cgod-tier form\u201d before saying that he has been \u201ca bad professional and spent my hours wrong.\u201d He continues: \u201cI have been an arrogant idiot thinking everything would come easy, which it never will. I\u2019m honestly sorry for my bad choices. I have been lying to myself thinking I was still a top player but I\u2019m not.\u201d The truth hurts. I have been an arrogant idiot thinking everthing would come easy which it never will. I\u2019m honestly sorry for my bad choices. I have been lying to myself thinking I was still a top player but I\u2019m not. The grind has begun again and this time it wont stop. \u2014 Kristian Wienecke (@k0nfigCS) October 4, 2019 Following up, K0nfig directly addressed his fans and former teammates. \u201cI regret so many things and I apologize to everyone, to old teammates as well as to you fans. I\u2019m going to change and become the k0nfig you remember. It\u2019s very sad that it has reached this point before I realized it. I won\u2019t look the other way anymore and try to hide. This is my return.\u201d It\u2019s very sad that it has reached this point before I realized it. I won\u2019t look the other way anymore and try to hide. This is my return. \u2014 Kristian Wienecke (@k0nfigCS) October 4, 2019 It\u2019s rare that we get to see professional players address the issues they face so candidly and be so open in their shortcomings, but this may just be the inspiration k0nfig needs to become one of the greatest talents in CS:GO once again. Most recently, k0nfig and his OpTic teammates were knocked out of Dreamhack Masters Malm\u00f6 with a top 12 placement. After a shock win over Team Liquid in the opening round, OpTic fell short against Natus Vincere and mousesports respectively, ending their run in the Swedish city abruptly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
