Spectator rushes stage at CS2 tournament and gets tackled into trophy, smashing it to pieces
A skin gambling site took responsibility for the stunt, which took place at PGL Major Copenhagen. The event organizer says it will press charges.
Counter-Strike skin betting platform CSGOEmpire has claimed responsibility for the stunt. "Some of our men are on the ground in handcuffs," wrote CSGOEmpire founder Monarch on X after the incident. "But we fucking did it, boys."
Monarch says that the stunt was a protest of alleged "scams" by competitor CSGORoll, which it fired accusations at in a blog post titled "The Wars We Wage." In a post last summer, CSGORoll said that unnamed "malicious competitors" were targeting it with a "hate campaign."
"These malicious competitors have engaged in a hate campaign against us, and claim that we are running 'scam websites,'" the site said. "We do not know their motive, but we suspect that it is a personal vendetta, based on a grudge and is designed to try and harm our business and gain a competitive advantage for themselves."
Kill me if I ever become this petty and all I can see in the world worth protesting is this.
Not the usual way fee-based gaming and gambling sites ruin games for everyone, but it is definitely on-brand.
CS2 is infintely worse imo than CS:GO. Yes, the maps got updated but local multiplayer works way worse and the bots are a laughable mess. Took me days to get working properly on debian too.
The CS2 community going out of its way to out cringe the FGC
