M80 player Mike “Swisher” Schneider has proposed to his girlfriend Weronika. He shared the news in a short but emotional post on social media: “6.25.25 ”, along with two photos — one of a kiss on the beach at sunset and another of an engagement ring on Weronika’s finger.
A simple gesture — but very personal and touching. Just a few pictures, one date, a ring — and their whole story is told in them.
I think I’m in love
The couple’s story began in the summer of 2024, when Mike was attending his first ESL Pro League tournament. His coach Syyko from M80 shared on Twitter how it all began:
swishcs comes back to prac room and says ‘I met a girl reading a book on the beach, I think I’m in love. — Syyko
That’s how Mike described his first encounter with Weronika — a spontaneous moment without any pretense. He just saw a girl reading a book, talked to her, and something stayed with him.
A Timeline of Mike and Weronika’s Relationship
Summer 2024 marked the beginning of their story. During ESL Pro League, Mike took a break and walked down to the beach — that’s where he saw Weronika reading. They talked, and something clicked. When he returned to the practice room, he smiled and said, “I think I’m in love.”
Fall 2024 – Spring 2025: The couple started building a relationship. They kept it quiet — and as it turns out, for good reason. Mike had previously gone through a painful breakup: his former girlfriend had cheated on him. After that, he stopped posting about his personal life entirely. He chose to keep this new chapter private, protecting it from public pressure.
June 25, 2025: Mike proposed to Weronika on the very same beach where they first met. At sunset, surrounded by a white blanket and flowers, she said “yes.” Mike shared the moment on social media with a brief caption: “6.25.25 ”
July 3, 2025: Weronika left a short but heartfelt comment under his post:
“Jag älskar dig ” (Swedish for “I love you”)
July 4, 2025: Syyko tweeted the story of how Mike first mentioned Weronika after that day on the beach. For the first time in a while, he openly spoke about love.

Friends and Fans React
Mike’s post quickly gained attention from fans and the CS2 community. Teammates, friends, and followers responded with warmth and support.
So happy for one of the best couples I know. Congrats Mike and Weronika! — wrote Syyko
Weronika’s comment — “Jag älskar dig ” — felt like the perfect ending to their engagement story. Calm, sincere, and without show — just like everything about this couple.
A Bit of Context
The world only learned about Weronika now — and that makes sense. Swisher hadn’t shared anything about his new relationship for a long time, and now we know why. After the betrayal in his previous one, he kept his personal life out of the spotlight. Only once he felt certain, and once the bond was real, did he decide to share it.
Sometimes, it only takes one random moment — stepping onto a beach after a match instead of staying in the hotel. Or her choosing not to stay home that evening. It all could have never happened — but it did. And that’s what matters most.
