Hey, I'm Slö Cannon — part trader, part writer, full-time skin market addict. I've spent years deep in CS2 and Rust, flipping skins, tracking prices, and publishing more guides than most people care to read. If there's a trend, edge, or inefficiency in the market, I'm probably already writing about it.
