aragornN (António Barbosa) - Biography, customization, configs, cfg

Antonio “aragornN” Barbosa is a fairly experienced Portuguese esports player who has proven himself positively not only on the domestic stage but also internationally. Throughout his Counter-Strike career, he has played over 100 matches across tournaments of various levels. In many of these, he advanced quite far and took prize-winning places, earning approximately $7,000 in total.

He began his professional career in September 2020 by joining the little-known team BAKDD, but did not manage to make a significant impact there. Afterwards, Barbosa played for several other teams, including SRPLGANG, OVERFRAG, Team Rafael Pais, and Intranacionais, but none brought him major victories.

Despite the lack of notable success, he showed a high level of play and regular progress. Thanks largely to this, in August 2022, he joined Rhyno Esports. It was with this team that Antonio earned his first awards: silver medals at Magicshot Leiria Cup 2022 and a 5th-6th place finish in Master League Portugal Season 10: Regular Season.

At the end of 2022, Barbosa parted ways with the team but was soon picked up by GTZ.ESPORTS in early 2023. The initial months were rough, with no victories for about four months. However, in May 2023, things turned around. He won gold at Óbidos Kings Cup I, followed by championships at Famalicão Extreme Gaming 2023 and Circuito Retake Season 6, silver at ESEA Season 45: Main Division - Europe, and 3rd-4th places at ESL Masters España Season 13: Online Stage and Master League Portugal Season 11.

From July to November 2023, Antonio competed unsuccessfully for Los Alpacas and OVERFRAG, then moved to SAW, finishing 11th in ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe. Unable to establish himself there, he switched to For The Win Esports in December, where he won the Master League Portugal Season 13 championship.

Between April and September 2024, he played for EsmagaB, achieving only 3rd-4th place at Circuito Retake Season 8. In September, he returned to GTZ.ESPORTS, with which he won Master League Portugal Season 14 and Circuito Retake Season 9, then joined Rhyno Esports again. However, he did not achieve significant success there, with the best results being a championship at Master League Portugal Season 16 and 3rd-4th place at Caretos Cup 2025.

Due to the lack of major achievements, Antonio “aragornN” Barbosa decided to leave the organization. In June 2025, he rejoined SAW, whose emblem he still represents.
