At only 15 years old, Katkame has been making waves across the French Counter-Strike scene. Grinding relentlessly through the FACEIT ranks, he’s already caught the attention of top players who see him as the next French superstar. While he hasn’t officially been linked with Team Vitality—the best team in the world—it might just be a matter of time. His AWPing skills are already drawing comparisons to ZywOo, arguably the greatest French player in CS history.
The FACEIT Grind
On April 4, 2022, at just 12 years old and after 268 matches, Katkame reached the prestigious FACEIT Level 10. It was the result of a tireless grind that took him less than a year after he began playing seriously in late April 2021.
From there, he continued climbing—reaching over 2900 ELO by the end of the Global Offensive era. With the switch to CS2, his dedication didn’t waver. In July 2025, he achieved a new personal best of 3971 ELO, placing him among the top-ranked players worldwide.
The Prodigy Who Isn’t Playing
After several experiences in ESEA as a main AWPer—and with his growing reputation as one of France’s most promising young players—Katkame signed with Prodigy Agency in April 2024, joining their Under-18 program. This move brought him even closer to ZywOo, as both are now represented by the same agency.

While the AWP remains his most lethal weapon, Katkame has proven that he’s more than a one-trick player. His rifle mechanics, especially with the M4 and AK-47, are equally impressive. During his ESEA campaigns, he attempted over 20% of his team’s entries with an approximate 60% success rate—a testament to his fearless and aggressive style.
Despite all the attention, he has yet to appear in an official HLTV-recorded match. His last team experience dates back to January 2025, at the start of ESEA Season 52. Around that time, rumors began swirling about a possible Vitality Academy project, with Katkame rumored as a potential signing. Without any official announcement, he decided to keep grinding FACEIT while waiting for the right opportunity.
Joining MyHUDesport and His Dream of Vitality
More recently, Katkame joined MyHUDesport Academy, a project gathering young talents from French-speaking countries. This move sparked renewed attention, especially as rumors of a Team Vitality Academy continue to grow.
Katkame’s profile fits such a project perfectly: his young age, impressive record, and AWP role—mirroring that of ZywOo—make him a natural candidate for a future Vitality lineup.

At just 15 years old, Katkame still has all the time in the world to grow into France’s next great star. For now, he keeps doing what he’s best at—grinding, learning, and dreaming big. His journey is only beginning, and we may be witnessing the rise of the next French prodigy in Counter-Strike.
