Real Madrid’s Casemiro Explains Why CS:GO Makes Him More Nervous Than Football

Brazilian footballer Casemiro who is one of the most famous footballers in the world recently revealed how nervous he gets while playing CS:GO. In a recent interview with a Spanish sports website MARCA, Casemiro stated that playing CS:GO while streaming on Twitch is without a doubt more nerve-wracking than playing football in front of a crowd in Bernabéu, the home stadium of Real Madrid. Casemiro who plays as a defensive midfielder for Spanish club Real Madrid, launched his esports organization CaseEsports in October last year which features a Brazilian CS:GO roster, consisting of ‘Tier-2’ players to compete in the European region.

Casemiro talks about CS:GO and compares it to football

Carlos Henrique Casimiro, more popularly known as Casemiro is a huge gaming enthusiast, especially for gaming titles FIFA and CS:GO. This is why one of the first teams that he recruited under his esports organization ‘CaseEsports’ was a Counter-Strike roster, with an aim to compete in lower-tier tournaments within the European region with a Brazilian lineup.

He also streams on his own Twitch channel ‘Casemiro’ where he mostly plays FIFA in ‘Pro Player Club’ mode along with a lot of competitive CS:GO. He recently revealed that streaming on Twitch has been great for him because,

“After opening the channel on Twitch, communication with fans improved a lot, people are closer to you. They ask you questions, and whenever I can, I do interact with them and answer their questions."

Casemiro also stated that due to his shy nature, he never even imagined streaming on Twitch was an option. But a lot of his peers forced him onto the platform and now he feels more nervous playing CS:GO than playing a game at the Bernabéu. He revealed the reason behind this while laughing,

“Without a doubt, people are much closer and when I fail, there is an insult. When I play Counter-Strike I get a lot more nervous there than playing at the Bernabéu. I feel more pressure with people watching me play live at videogames than football. "
