nettik (Corey Browne) - Biography, customization, configs, cfg

Corey “nettik” Browne is a professional esports player from Australia who competes in Counter-Strike 2. He has been active on the competitive scene for over 8 years. During this time, he has taken part in more than 100 tournaments, played around 300 matches, and earned over $15,000 in prize money.

His journey began in August 2017, when he competed with Unfrag at ROG Masters 2017 Asia-Pacific: Open Qualifier, though without success. After a short break, he resumed his career in November 2018, finishing 3rd-4th at the Asia Minor Championship - Katowice 2019: Oceanic Open Qualifier #2 with ZzzZzzz. However, Browne couldn’t build on this momentum and was once again left without a team. He returned to action in February 2019 by joining Jade, where he won his first career titles, including a gold medal at ESEA Proving Grounds 2019 - Australia. Shortly after, he also secured victory at LPL Season 4: Akros Series, this time with Incept eSports.

In early 2020, Corey switched teams again, signing with Madlikewizards, though the stint wasn’t successful. By March, he joined Rooster, where he found his footing. With the team, he earned multiple titles, such as winning LPL Pro League 2020 Season 1 and Season 2, taking silver at ESL ANZ Champs Season 11 and ESEA Season 34: Premier Division - Australia, bronze at ESEA Season 33: Premier Division - Australia, LPL Pro League 2020 Season 3, and EPIC Oceania League Spring 2021, as well as a 4th-place finish at DreamHack Open Summer 2020: Oceania.

By the end of 2021, his time with Rooster came to an end, after which he signed with Paradox Esports, where he claimed both championship and runner-up finishes at tournaments like Shock Inception Tournament and The Insanely Awesome CS:GO Tournament. Browne later returned to Rooster, staying until June 2024, continuing to perform at a high level.

During his second stint with Rooster, he added numerous accolades, including gold medals at ESEA Cash Cup: Oceania - Winter 2023 #2, ESEA Cash Cup: Oceania - Spring 2023 #5, CCT Season 1 Oceania Series #3, and Series #4, silver medals at ESL ANZ Champs Season 15 and ESL Challenger League Season 47: Oceania, as well as strong showings in ESL Pro League Season 17, ESL ANZ Champs Season 16, ESL Pro League Season 18, Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2024, and ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2024.

In August 2024, Corey joined TALON but failed to impress during his six-month tenure. Following his departure, he competed with Ex-TALON at the Dfrag Invitational 2025, winning silver, before signing with FlyQuest in April 2025. With his new team, he won gold at BLAST Asia Risings Ulaanbaatar 2025, bronze at Asian Champions League 2025, and secured several other notable finishes, including 9-12th at Intel Extreme Masters Melbourne 2025, 7-8th at BLAST Rivals Spring 2025, 25-27th at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, 17-20th at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025, and 9-12th at BLAST Open Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier.

Currently, Corey “nettik” Browne continues to represent FlyQuest as a consistent member of their CS2 roster.
