In the early era of global competition for Critical Ops, few names appear on championship brackets as consistently as the Ukrainian rifler known as My Line. EsportsEarnings records Yurii Petiurenko with three first place finishes at the Critical Ops World Championship in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and 6,800 dollars in total prize money from those events alone.
Those titles came in a scene that was still finding its footing as a mobile esport. Critical Force and tournament partner Mobile E-Sports built out Worlds as the top of a competitive ladder that now includes seasonal Pro League play and a web of community events. Within that structure, My Line developed from a ranked grinder and YouTube creator into a three time world champion and one of the defining players of the Reign era.
A Ukrainian player growing up with the game
For most fans, the first encounter with My Line does not come from a bracket page, but from his own channel. There he uploads long, unedited ranked matches, handcam videos and POVs that treat tactical shooter mechanics as something to be explained, not hidden. Several descriptions include a small FAQ where he lists his age as fifteen, his nationality as Ukrainian and his team as Reign, written in that simple style that reminds viewers he is still a teenager even while playing at the top of the game.
The gameplay in those early uploads already shows the outlines of his competitive identity. He routinely posts thirty and forty kill performances in Elite Ops ranked, often in full length recordings that reveal more than just big multikills. His videos emphasize crosshair discipline, early round information plays and a willingness to take initiative on the attacking side. Rather than putting out heavily edited montages, he invites viewers into the rhythm of an entire match, including the quiet rounds where positioning and utility set up the highlight moments that follow.
That public record mirrors the broader history of the game. Critical Ops itself grew out of open alpha and beta periods into a fully released title with an active ranked ladder, a Defuse centered competitive mode and an eventual Pro League. My Line’s channel is one way to watch that evolution happen through the perspective of a single player.
Reign and the formation of a professional identity
As the competitive scene formalized, My Line found a long term home with Reign. Reign’s own social media and tournament histories list him as part of their core Critical Ops roster during the early 2020s. Official records for events such as the Pro League Season 1: Eurasia show him alongside Faultless in a Reign lineup that carried domestic expectations into international play.
Reign’s identity as a CIS based organization, combined with My Line’s Ukrainian nationality, gave the team a cross border character that fit the emerging geography of the game. His own uploads often reference his device and competitive environment in passing, noting that he plays on an iPad Pro 12.9 with carefully tuned gyroscope controls and sharing Discord and X links where fans can study his settings.
By the time Worlds became a yearly fixture, Reign and My Line were no longer just strong ranked names. They were the standard that other teams measured themselves against.
Worlds 2022: first world title
The first Critical Ops World Championship in 2022 marked the moment when the game’s competitive ambitions became concrete. Critical Force announced a global online event with a 25,000 dollar prize pool and sixteen teams in a world championship bracket, organized with MOBILE E-SPORTS.
On the results page for that tournament, Reign sits at the top. EsportsEarnings records Reign as the 2022 champions with a five player lineup that includes Faultless, My Line, Symboie, Venoly and Wyvezz, and a 12,000 dollar first prize. Wikipedia’s summary of international Critical Ops events confirms that Reign defeated Evil Vision four maps to two in the best of seven final, with CrossFire and Xenocide rounding out the top four.
The official VODs and highlight packages show Reign winning that final through disciplined defense and a willingness to leave space for individual initiative. My Line’s role is rarely announced outright on the broadcast in the way star players in larger esports might be, but his nickname appears consistently in critical rounds. In late half gun rounds he often takes the risk of early contact, either seizing mid control or cutting off rotations with well timed pushes.
For a young Ukrainian player whose public identity was still half content creator, half ranked grinder, Worlds 2022 provided a first proof that his style could hold up in a global bracket.
Worlds 2023: Reign, Mullet Mafia and a player at his peak
If Worlds 2022 established Reign, Worlds 2023 is the event where the Critical Ops community at large began to talk about eras. Critical Force’s press release for Worlds 2023 described a more elaborate qualification system tied directly to the Pro League, culminating in a final stage with two global brackets and a best of seven grand final over two days.
Tournament summaries on Liquipedia and Wikipedia list Reign as the 2023 champion once again, this time in a seven map series against European challengers Mullet Mafia that went the full distance at four maps to three. Esports Charts notes that Worlds 2023 became both the most watched Critical Ops tournament by peak viewership and one of the largest events by prize pool in the game’s history.
Within that broader story, My Line’s own uploads give a more personal view of his performance. On his channel he posted a full POV from Worlds 2023 against Underestimated (UE), recording a 32–14 stat line in one of the key matches on Reign’s path through the bracket. The recording shows him switching comfortably between high tempo opening duels and slow, information driven mid rounds, frequently re-positioning after early picks instead of forcing further fights.
Those choices fit the stakes of the event. Worlds 2023 carried the weight of being the second global championship and the first to sit squarely on a newly built Pro League foundation. Reign’s victory, and My Line’s visible impact in crucial games, cemented the idea that 2022 had not been a one off run.
Worlds 2024: new rivals, same champion
By 2024, Critical Ops Worlds had settled into a yearly rhythm. Liquipedia and Esports Charts both list Critical Ops Worlds 2024 as a six team world championship with a 25,000 dollar prize pool and a final between Reign and Invictus. The Wikipedia summary of international tournaments records Reign winning that series four maps to two, continuing their hold on the title.
The official grand final stream and highlight packages frame Reign versus Invictus as a rivalry that crystallized many of the meta trends of the era: aggressive use of utility, precise trading and the willingness to play long, grinding halves on maps like Bureau and Grounded. My Line’s name sits in the scoreboard once again, this time as part of a championship run that also appears in his personal prize history on EsportsEarnings with a 2,000 dollar share for first place.
Winning a third straight world title put him in a very small group of players who have appeared as champions in every edition of the Critical Ops World Championship so far. Even if future tournaments eventually break Reign’s streak, those three trophies already give his career a clear narrative arc.
Pro League seasons and the Elevate chapter
Worlds was never the only stage for My Line. The creation of the Critical Ops Pro League in 2023 linked regional competition directly to global events, and official documentation for the Eurasia division lists Reign with a roster that includes both My Line and Faultless among its early Pro teams.
Over time, his name began to appear next to another organization as well. Liquipedia’s page for Team Elevate shows a Critical Ops roster update in 2024 that adds My Line to a lineup alongside Mirage, Ottawa, Mossya and other familiar names from the top of the scene. Team Elevate’s own social media announced a return to Critical Ops with that roster, framing it as a continuation of the club’s longer mobile esports history.
That move did not erase his Reign legacy so much as extend it. Between Pro League seasons, community events like Polaris tournaments and highlight uploads that include matches against his former organization, My Line’s career illustrates how flexible rosters can be in a young mobile esport while still preserving a coherent personal story.
Playstyle, mechanics and the player behind the crosshair
Across his public matches and POVs, several traits define how My Line plays Critical Ops. He is a rifler first, comfortable taking early duels on angles that demand crisp first shot accuracy, but he rarely chases kills for their own sake. In many recordings, after winning an opening fight he immediately re-positions to deny the opponent a clean trade, often rotating into supportive positions where he can throw utility or anchor a bomb site.
Mechanically, his style is built on a precise combination of touch and gyroscope control. Settings videos on his channel walk viewers through his sensitivity values, acceleration choices and layout, while the handcam footage shows how he translates those numbers into actual movement on an iPad screen. It is a kind of transparency that echoes older PC shooter traditions, where star players would share config files and crosshair codes as a way of teaching the next generation.
The “Worlds POV” uploads deepen that picture. In his 32–14 performance against UE at Worlds 2023, he rarely overextends after big rounds, instead slowing the pace and focusing on information plays, shoulder peeks and pressure that forces utility from the other team. The result is a profile not only of a mechanically gifted player, but of someone who understands how to fit his individual strengths into team structures that have to survive long series against the best opponents in the game.
Legacy in the Critical Ops community
The official record is straightforward. Tournament databases list Yurii “My Line” Petiurenko as a three time Critical Ops World Championship winner, with first place finishes in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and a clean sweep of champion level placements across his three recorded international events.
The cultural legacy inside the community is harder to quantify, but no less real. Worlds 2023, where he helped Reign win a seven map final over Mullet Mafia, remains the most watched Critical Ops tournament to date. Worlds 2024, where Reign defeated Invictus, produced the single most viewed match in the game’s esports history. In both of those series, My Line appears on the server as one of the players shaping how the game is played at the very top level.
At the same time, his YouTube channel, Discord server and social media presence keep him accessible in a way that fits the grassroots spirit of the scene. He is not just a name on a bracket page or a scoreboard graphic, but a player who lets fans watch entire matches from his perspective, copy his settings and see the work that goes into each highlight.
For a historian of Critical Ops, that combination of formal success and public transparency makes Yurii “My Line” Petiurenko a central figure in the game’s early world championship era. His story shows how a mobile shooter built its first true dynasty, and how one Ukrainian player helped anchor that run from the first Worlds announcement through a string of titles that still define the game’s competitive history.
