Fabien "kioShiMa" Fiey, (born July 26, 1994) better known by his in-game name KioShiMa, is a French professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and former Counter-Strike 1.6 player who was most recently the entry fragger for FaZe Clan. He has also played for teams including Epsilon eSports, Team LDLC.com, and Team EnVyUs.
Professional Career
kioShiMa originates from a Counter-Strike 1.6 background, in which he made his first international appearance as a 17-year-old in his 3DMAX team at Electronic Sports World Cup 2011. His team, however, would crash out in the group stage following losses to each of their opponents; SK Gaming, Moscow Five, DTS Gaming as well as eSrael.
The following months would see him slowly climbing the tiers of French teams in the game. In early 2012, he would join two known players atLaNtis and mshz in e2g, and later WCG legends HaRts and ioRek in Bizounours. The team attended GameGune 2012 in July, but kioShiMa and his team did not again manage to make an impact and fell out of the tournament in 9-12th place. The release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive followed soon after, and kioShiMa soon moved onto the new game, appearing in teams such as In Your Head and iGamerz.
In May 2013, he was re-scouted by HaRts to reunite the core of the Bz team under the Clan-Mystik banner, also featuring the now notorious KQLY as a new member. The team would eventually go to win Electronic Sports World Cup 2013, marking the first big international achievement in kioShiMa's career.
kioShiMa would leave the team, at that time known as Epsilon eSports, in September 2014 as the "French shuffle" began to take form. He formed a new team with former Titan members NBK, shox and SmithZz as well as LDLC.com captain Happy. The team was briefly known as Mercenary before being picked up by Happy's former organization, who disbanded their former team due to showing disappointment at the former players' behavior in regards to their new contracts.
kioShiMa and his new new LDLC team would then dominate the scene in France and even became a contender for the title of the best team in the world versus Fnatic. The team would go on to win the last major of the year at DreamHack Winter 2014, as well as coming out on top at the MLG Aspen Invitational in early January.
To the surprise of many, the team would leave LDLC in February in preparation for a transfer to a new organization - soon be revealed as Team EnVyUs. Fiey was a member of the active line-up until which March 3rd, 2016 in the wake of the team's long slump. He was acquired by FaZe Clan a month later replacing the recently departed Maikelele. On August 20th, 2017, KioShiMa was replaced by olofmeister on FaZe Clan.
Fabien "The Problem" Fiey?
It was all going fine for the man himself kio in EnVyUs until the he was kicked from the team at Intel Extreme Masters X - World Championship after their 11-12th finish which was really disappointing for a team like Envyus as till last tournament they were top 5 team and before that #1 at Global eSports Cup - Season 1 but being dropped from the teams without proper reasoning become a tread for this young talent who was again dropped from the team when on October 19th - FaZe Clan acquired karrigan from Astralis, kioShiMa was moved to a backup position and then later returned to the team and without any hard feelings go on to strengthen the team alongside new addition NiKo, and had two back to back #2 finishes and a #1 win at StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 3 and then later was without any consent was dropped from the team to acquire guardian and olofmeister well it was an executive decision i guess but it was not properly handled as KioShima lost an opportunity to qualify for any other team even if he was eager to participate as it was a last minute decison and he was left without any team and benched for almost 2 months and that was to a player like him can cost upto $20k-$50k lost financially.
Personal Opinion : I don't really think KioShima is a problem at all he is a really talented player but sometimes his inconsistency keeps him at bay and gives teams a reason to replace or bench him in a team i really don't think his career is over or anything he is still very young and can go on to play for like 15-25+ years more but i really think he should now focus on building a team and finding the people with similar mindset and help his community and build himself as a community or maybe just to back to professional csgo very soon and rekt his old team mates i am here like ready for everything. Best of luck kioshima and i still hate you ChloeLock !!
