Peter 'dupreeh' Rasmussen, one of the most recognized names in Counter-Strike history, has officially retired from professional competition.

During the grand finals of the BLAST.tv Austin Major, the 32-year-old Danish star, delivered an emotional on-stage farewell, bringing the curtain down on a 13-year legacy that shaped the CS:GO competitive scene.

His primary reason for stepping away? A desire to prioritize family and start a new chapter.

Throughout his legendary run, dupreeh built a resume that few in esports can match. He remains one of the few players to have won five CS:GO Majors — four with Astralis and one with Team Vitality at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Even more impressive, he played in all 19 CS:GO Majors, showcasing not only skill but remarkable consistency.

Over the course of his career, dupreeh secured around $2.2 million in tournament winnings, and his estimated net worth sits between $6–7 million, thanks to team salaries and sticker sales. 

He also earned two MVP awards, tied with apEX for the most tournament wins in CS history (32), and made HLTV’s Top 20 Players list seven times.

Statistically, his dominance was just as striking — logging over 39,000 kills, including 15,000+ with the AK-47, and playing 4,259 rounds at Majors alone.

In the later stages of his career, dupreeh joined Team Falcons, although his final run didn’t mirror past glory. He was benched in November 2024 following a failed qualification for the Perfect World Shanghai Major. However, his transition to a broadcast role was smooth — he debuted as an analyst during the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 and returned in the same role for the Austin Major, drawing praise for his insights and on-camera presence.

Speaking on stage at the Austin Major, dupreeh shared, “My only goal was just to make a name for myself and maybe win one Major. Today, I stand with five titles. All good things come to an end.”

Tributes quickly poured in from across the esports scene. Astralis, his former team, called him “the best teammate, colleague, and friend anyone could ask for” and celebrated his contributions with heartfelt posts. Fans and fellow pros echoed similar sentiments, recognizing dupreeh not just as a champion, but as a player who helped define an era of Counter-Strike.

Whether he chooses to stay involved as a coach, analyst, or in another role, one thing is certain — dupreeh's legacy will remain deeply woven into the fabric of Counter-Strike history.
