This is absolutely disgusting.
My friends were playing a CS2 match when a player called "yakaruu" sent this message, referencing the recent shooting in Kraków, Poland, saying it's a shame that people like us weren't the ones who got shot.
What kind of a statement is that.
People have lost their lives, families have been affected, and this individual thinks it's appropriate to use a real-life tragedy as an insult in a fucking video game.
I wasn't even playing myself, but after seeing this message, I simply couldn't ignore it. I felt that I had to do something about it.
There is absolutely NO place for this kind of behaviour in competitive gaming.
I'm tagging several FACEIT representatives and community figures to make sure this incident gets the visibility it deserves.
I expect FACEIT to investigate this player and take serious disciplinary action. If this doesn't warrant a permanent ban, then what does?
This should not be tolerated on your platform.

@FACEIT_Darwin, I don't think this ban is being taken seriously, especially after seeing the latest addition to his profile. Thanks @v1vat0, for bringing that up.
@LukaszPozyczek I'm not entirely sure, but there are suspicions, which is why I tagged FACEIT staff and hope they'll investigate the situation and any accounts he might be using.
Yes, we did, but we believe a one-week ban is not enough, considering how unacceptable this behaviour is. From what I can see in the comments, he has received a 3-month ban, but even that doesn't feel sufficient. He also has at least one smurf account, so he'll most likely continue playing anyway.
