Hello!
For those who don't know me, I'm blank_dvth (or blank), the current Senior Manager for Counter-Strike 2. I joined eGO in 2021 through the AWP server, before quickly discovering and falling in love with the TTT game mode, and later JB (TTT>JB). From there, I've been involved in just about everything Counter-Strike and eGO, including Tech, MS, AT, EC, and Specialist (all but the last two I'm still active in). If you're curious, I have a longer recount in the Your EdgeGamers Story thread, here.
In 2022, I joined the CS Leadership team as the Specialist Manager for CS:GO TTT, a role I acted in until 2024; in that time, I've contributed to numerous different branches of CS, primarily behind-the-scenes, though you may recognize me as the one processing most appeals, reports, and other forums tasks. I stepped back in 2024 to focus on real-life obligations, but recently returned to the Leadership team as the Admin Training Manager for CS At-Large (exactly a year later, which was not planned).
Without going into the whole spiel too much, I'm committed to ensuring the continued success of Counter-Strike within eGO, and will continue to work with the leadership team, admins, and players alike to keep the community fun and engaging. While changes will certainly happen in my tenure, I want to emphasize that such changes would be made with careful consideration and input where possible; I'm always open to [constructive] feedback. This also won't happen immediately, and most will be relatively transparent to players.
Though I've participated in certain other trends (cough mustoreo...), the Leadership AMA is not one of them; neither the first time I was promoted, nor the second. I'm excited to announce that I'm finally changing that with this thread! Feel free to ask whatever questions are on your mind, whether they are about my experiences, role, or otherwise; I'll try my best to answer.
With that... have at it!
P.S. I would like to make it known that I was fully intent on making this before

's own AMA thread. He stole my idea >:(.
P.P.S. I love the forums :D
Note: While I will make a best-effort attempt to answer all questions, this is not a guarantee. Additionally, while you are free to pose any question (within eGO's guidelines), I reserve the right to decline to answer any questions that I feel are inappropriate, too personal, related to confidential matters, or otherwise not suitable for discussion (it's an "Ask Me Anything", not a "I Will Answer Anything"). Generally speaking, use your common sense.
