XANTARES (İsmailcan Dörtkardeş) — CS2 Professional Player Settings and Gear
About XANTARES
İsmailcan 'XANTARES' Dörtkardeş is the undisputed greatest Turkish Counter-Strike player of all time, a rifler whose online statistics during his prime were so absurdly dominant that he earned the nickname 'The Turkish Terminator' and became the benchmark against which all CIS and Turkish talent is measured. During his years competing primarily in Turkish and European online leagues, XANTARES posted ratings that were consistently among the highest in the world, with his headshot percentage regularly exceeding 60% — a figure that suggested either superhuman crosshair placement or an aim style so precise that every bullet was placed exactly where intended. His move to BIG in 2019 was Turkey's first significant export to a top European team, and while the transition to consistent LAN performance took time, XANTARES showed flashes of the same dominance that had made him legendary online. On Aurora (formerly Eternal Fire), XANTARES has returned to lead Turkey's strongest roster alongside woxic, forming a Turkish duo that combines his rifling excellence with woxic's AWP brilliance. His influence on Turkish esports extends beyond his individual play — XANTARES proved that Turkish players could compete at the international level, opening doors for the generation of Turkish talent that followed him. Despite never winning a Major, XANTARES' statistical legacy and his role as Turkish Counter-Strike's founding international star ensure his place in the game's history.
