some pros has number 1 or 0 on their next or middle nickname such as:
- Fit1nho
- ANGE1
- S0m
- K1Ng
- Demon1
- C0M
- F0rsaken
what's the reason tho? why can't they just spell it normally using alphabet, are they being edgy?

If s1mple and dev1ce had the same amount of achievements in Val as they do in CS, they would be the undisputed GOATs. Yay would never be able to catch up. s1mple has over eight tournament wins, including a major. Dev1ce has four fucking majors. s1mple has more tournament wins in CS than the amount of big tournaments that exist in Val (Stage 1&2 Masters, LOCK//IN and Champions for 2021, 2022 AND 2023)
Making it more unique aka example instead of being Smile you are Smil3 making name more unique and actual username instead of just word. Also many names are taken so adding numbers may make them available. And especially in past numbers were common in usernames so people take inspirations from players they looked up to. And some may think it looks cool.
Legitimate answer to this as one of your "number name" people. Often times you're more likely to remember the name if it's unique in its spelling. For example, with my name, the word from on its own is pretty boring and incredible common. Adding a 0 and capitol F makes the name stand out and easy to recognize.
Another reason is just that for many people like myself, our names were taken on the platform we were trying to use. I originally wanted to be "From", but seeing as the word is so common, the user was already taken in most places leading me to add a 0.
