Who Is kennyS?
Kenny Schrub began playing Counter-Strike at six years old and turned professional in 2012. Known by the gamertag kennyS, the French player built his reputation around the AWP sniper rifle. His competitive history includes VeryGames, Titan, Team EnVyUs, and G2 Esports, spanning some of the best-known organizations associated with his CS:GO career.
His current Twitch biography connects that competitive reputation with his work as a creator: “Former CS:GO Pro Player, proud owner of the Magic Stick, often called The MagiciaN. Currently CS2 Content Creator.” Those descriptions are his own profile wording. They also make the distinction between his former professional role and his present focus clear: his competitive achievements belong to CS:GO, while his current content centers on CS2.
Career Highlights
kennyS’s professional career began in 2012, and his team history includes VeryGames from 2012 to 2013 and Titan from 2014 to 2015. He went on to play for Team EnVyUs from 2015 to 2017. That period included a second-place finish at ESL One Cologne 2015 and a Major championship at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 with EnVyUs.
The Cluj-Napoca victory is a central achievement in his career: it gave kennyS a CS:GO Major title. His second-place finish at Cologne that same year is another notable result, but it should not be confused with a championship win. Together, those placements capture an important part of his 2015 competitive record.
His team history also includes G2 Esports from 2017 to 2023. His achievements include victories at ESL Pro League Season 5 and DreamHack Masters Malmö 2017, with an MVP award at each event.

kennyS announced his retirement from competitive Counter-Strike on May 20, 2023, at the Blast Paris Major. The announcement came one day after his 28th birthday. His subsequent identity as a CS2 content creator represents a different role from the professional competition covered in these career highlights.
