Unripes (born December 18, 2012) is a Croatian professional Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) player, skin collector, and rising figure in the European junior esports scene. He began his competitive career in 2022 and quickly gained attention for his mechanical skill, aggressive playstyle, and high-value in-game inventory.

Unripes was born in Croatia on December 18, 2012. He discovered Counter-Strike by watching his older brother play at home. Inspired by the gameplay, he began practicing on his own and quickly developed strong aim and game sense.

By the age of 9, he was already competing in small online tournaments, showing unusual consistency and confidence for his age.

Unripes entered competitive play in 2022 through smaller regional tournaments and online qualifiers. His ability to perform in clutch situations quickly made him stand out.

His rise to recognition came in the ESL Junior Challenger circuit.

• 2× ESL Junior Challenger Champion
• 1× ESL Junior Challenger Runner-up (lost to Haix)

His loss came against Haix, a highly skilled CS2 YouTuber known for his advanced mechanics, sharp aim, and educational gameplay content. Their rivalry gained attention, especially because Haix’s experience and content creation background contrasted with Unripes’ young competitive rise.

Unripes is known for:

• Aggressive entry fragging
• Fast reaction time
• Strong clutch ability
• Confident decision-making under pressure

He frequently takes initiative in rounds and is especially dangerous in pistol rounds and late-game situations.

Unripes is also a dedicated CS2 skin collector, owning several high-tier skins valued above €1000.

(Typical high-value listings based on CSFloat market ranges)

• AWP | Dragon Lore (Factory New) – ~$15,000.00
• AK-47 | Wild Lotus (Factory New) – ~$47,000.00
• Butterfly Knife | Doppler (Ruby) – ~$17,333.00
• Sport Gloves | Pandora’s Box – ~$2,411.00

These skins are among the rarest in the game, with prices heavily influenced by float value and rarity.

• 2× ESL Junior Challenger Champion
• 1× ESL Junior Challenger Runner-up
• Winner of the Adriatic Rising Stars Cup (2024)
• MVP of Baltic Youth Invitational (2025)
• Recorded a 1v5 clutch in an official qualifier
• Top 10 EU Junior Ranking (community-based)

• 40-kill semifinal performance in a junior tournament
• Grand final rematch victory against Haix
• Four instant Desert Eagle headshots in a single round (highlight clip)

Outside of competition, Unripes spends time trading and analyzing skins, often studying market trends and float values. He continues to balance school with his esports career.

Unripes is considered one of the most promising young players in the CS2 junior scene. His rivalry with content creator and player Haix helped boost his recognition, while his gameplay and skin collection continue to attract attention from the community.
