Maden (Pavle Bošković) - Biography, customization, configs, cfg

Pavle “maden” Bošković (born November 12, 1998) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player from Montenegro. As of January 2026, he plays for fnatic, and he has earned well over $330,000 in tournament prize money across his career.

Maden worked his way up through smaller European lineups before getting chances on bigger international teams. His early years included teams like SMASH and then GODSENT, where he started getting regular games against strong opponents. In 2021 he joined FunPlus Phoenix, and in 2022 he became part of ENCE, a period where he was playing many top events and building a reputation as a reliable rifler. Later, he moved to Team Falcons (late 2023 into 2024), then spent time with Zero Tenacity in 2025, before signing with fnatic in January 2026.

One of the clearest highlights of his career was reaching 2nd place at IEM Cologne 2023 with ENCE—an event that’s often treated like a “major-level” test because of the teams and pressure involved.

In-game, maden is best known for taking initiative as a rifler. Recent performance indicators show strong “opening” impact (winning or creating value in early fights), which fits a player who isn’t afraid to challenge space and start rounds with pressure. For CS2 players watching his demos, good examples to study are how he times early peeks with teammates, when he chooses to fight for map control, and how he turns a single opening duel into a safer round plan for his team.
