For $100,000 a month to play, I would agree to return to play on the pro scene. But for a maximum of a year. It would be a waste to play for two years. For $50,000 a month I wouldn’t agree [to return] either. And it’s not even that I earn [a lot] now. I really want to play CS.

In November 2024, deko decided to pause his esports career. He has played professionally since 2017. He became the champion of Skyesports Masters 2024 and a winner of a number of other tournaments, but failed to qualify for the major. At the time of publication of the material, Zhukov represents the streamer WW Team.
