Cage "Infinite" Green is part of the Team Dignitas CS:GO team, having been on the roster since May. Joining Team Dignitas was one of the biggest steps of his career, having already proven himself as a professional player. We talked with him about these last few months with the squad as well as his participation in Fragadelphia 12, where he finished in second place with a mix team.

Hello Gage. You have been on Team Dignitas for some months now. How has the experience been so far?

Infinite: It has been great so far. We made a Minor and that was above expectations for me when I first joined because we had only been a team for a short while.





What are your expectations regarding this organization and future challenges?

Infinite: My expectations are to become the best team we possibly can and, with the support of this amazing organization, I think we will be able to achieve this goal.





Did you have to change your game style to adapt to the future challenges of the team or even for personal in-game development?

Infinite: When I joined I was set as an entry, not a role that I was that comfortable with, but I soon learned that I need to be able to do multiple roles and with ptr's and Shinobi's help, they guided me to furthering my abilities.





This may be one of the biggest steps so far in your career. Was it a hard decision to make or was it a no-brainer?

Infinite: It was a no-brainer for sure. It was my first pro team offer and no one can pass that up - it can only help you get better.





You recently participated in Fragadelphia 12 with a mix team, ending up in second place, outplacing several already established teams from MDL. How does that make you feel and what impact will it have in your game?

Infinite: Beating these teams at Fragadelphia was good but it won't change anything with my game because I feel the teams we beat were inconsistent and that could mean anything on any given day.





Let’s now talk about you and your career so far. How did all this Counter-Strike adventure start out for you?

Infinite: I first started playing Counter-Strike when I was 15 and it was just for fun because I came from Call of Duty and I saw something new and wanted to try it out. I was playing CS for a couple of years while still in school and started watching pro tournaments and gained an interest in the game for more than having fun. I had the goal to go pro and really started grinding, trying to improve my mechanics and aim and just playing the game as much as possible.





Which moment in your amateur career made you realize you could actually make a living out of your passion?

Infinite: When I attended my first LAN back in August of 2017, which was Fragadelphia 11, so about 1 year ago, when my Main team I was on beat an MDL team, CLG Academy. After that event, they tried me out and picked me up and that's when I started getting a salary for playing a video game and that made me realize I can actually make something out of this game.





What are your current goals regarding CS:GO and your career, long and short-term?

Infinite: My goals currently in the short-term are to make Pro League, and long-term it is to win a large-scale event.





Are there any aspects in your game that you feel you need to improve? If so, how are you working towards it?

Infinite: I feel my biggest problem is reading what the other team is doing and I'm working towards it by watching demos.





Do you have any advice for players actively trying to thrive in this industry and make it to a professional level?

Infinite: The best advice I feel like I can give someone who wants to go pro in CS is learning to control your emotions and be level-headed cause personality matters way more than any of us think and I had to change because of that and understanding how it affects the people around you.



Are there any words you’d like to say before wrapping up this interview?

Infinite: Thanks to all the fans and people who got me to where I am. Your support means everything to me. And thank you to Team Dignitas for the continued support and for taking the time to conduct this interview with me.
