iM: CS2 player profile

Mihai Ivan, known as iM, is a Romanian rifler who became one of the most consistent players of the post-2023 Natus Vincere era. He built his reputation on strong, steady rifling and the ability to hold a side together, which let the team's star players take the bigger duels. His peak so far is the PGL Major Copenhagen in 2024, where Natus Vincere beat FaZe Clan in the final and he lifted a Major trophy as part of the roster. That roster was named HLTV's team of the year, and iM was a regular fixture in it as it won and placed highly at top-tier events. He is valued as a flexible, low-ego player who adapts to the needs of the lineup around him. His move from GamerLegion to Natus Vincere marked a step from a solid mid-table team to the very top of the scene, and he has stayed there since. For young Romanian players he is one of the clearest examples of a path to elite CS.
