Dupreeh Announces Retirement from Counter-Strike After his Legendary 13-Year Career. 

After winning five major titles, Dupreeh gained massive popularity in the esports world as one of the best players to ever play.

But surprisingly, he announced his retirement from competitive Counter-Strike. He made an emotional announcement during the BLAST.tv Austin Major grand finals. 

Peter “Dupreeh” Rasmussen is known for his contributions within Counter-Strike and leaving behind a legacy that took 13 years to fashion, making him one of the most revered individuals in esports. He is the only player to win the five CS:GO Majors; his retirement is said to be the end of an era for the competitive Counter-Strike scene. Dupreeh’s next move is still not confirmed, but the rumours say that he may focus on broadcasting and analysis.

A Career of Firsts and Lasts  

Dupreeh’s journey started in the early 2010s, where he played for the teams Dignitas and TSM until joining Astralis, where he dominated CS:GO. With Astralis, he won four out of five major titles, shredding the blueprint on which tactical Counter-Strike was built for years. He also won one more major title with Team Vitality in 2023.  

Throughout his 13-year journey, Dupreeh earned over $2.2 million in prize money by playing for tier one teams like Astralis, Vitality, and Team Falcons. Dupreeh spoke about his retirement, saying it was a chance to spend time with family, especially children, which became pivotal towards his career decision. 

“Obviously, all good things come to an end. It’s time to say goodbye,” said Dupreeh in his speech, thanking the whole community and revealing how memories remain priceless regardless of age.

What’s Next?

Dupreeh is taking a break from competitive play, but he is not leaving the CS scene. With a strong appearance as an analyst at several BLAST events in 2025, he has already demonstrated an understanding of the game and a connection with fans that is impressive. The way he has welcomed changes into his career has earned him praise from fans and analysts alike.

It will be challenging for anyone to fill out Dupreeh’s place, as his legacy, experience, and charm make these expectations difficult. He will most certainly cover Counter-Strike’s media extensively, as it is expected that he will become a permanent presence in its analysis and commentary sections or even as a mentor.
