Sources: the reason of @virtuspro players health insurance issues ahead of ESL Pro League Season 22 was that the organization had taken out insurance for players through the Russian bank "T-Bank", which is subject of European Union sanctions
@blameFFFFF@statsmeister1@CounterStrike@FNATIC The previous record was set in 2017 by 🇵🇭 dispenser, who played with a rating of 3.45 in a match against Imperium at the IeSF 2017 Philippines Qualifier

.@blameFFFFF broke a record that had stood for 8 years — he scored 3.53 Rating 3.0 for a single map.
He played this map at Exort TPG S3 on August 20, 2025 against Tricked. At that time, his rating was 3.34, but after the rating formula was changed, his result changed to 3.53
VP received invite with the following lineup: electroNic, FL4MUS, ICY, fame, and FL1T.
Now only two players remain from that lineup, which means VP has lost its core. If VP does not bring back one of the players from that lineup, CS Asia Championship may lose its Ranked status.
Due to suspicious gameplay by the KHAN team, which has already been noticed by other teams that have played against them, we kindly ask @ESIC_Official and @CCT_CS to closely monitor the gameplay and cameras of our opponents today at 13:30 CET 🙏
We at FAVBET Team are always in favor of fair play
Inner Circle will buy out TNL.
The Inner Circle organization, owned by Ukrainian businessman Oleksandr Slobozhenko will soon buy out TNL rosters. The deal will include the CS2 roster and Dota 2 roster of TNL along with their staff.
Over the past month, the organizations have been busy conducting the deal. It is unclear whether the Ukrainian organization will continue to operate after the deal is completed.
🇵🇱 Polish legends will play CCT 👀
In 49th place in Valve's European rankings is the outdated G2 lineup from PGL Astana 2025 featuring hades, TaZ, and Snax. Inner Circle used this core to get play CCT Series 7.
About SENZA and byek, I found out how it really was.
I analyzed the matches of SENZA players in Galaxy Battle Phase 3 and got the following result:
- only byek played with radar-hack
- byek had a fake webcam on the broadcast feed
This raises the question: why did the fake webcam appeared on 1nhuman in third match? It's because the broadcast directors simply mixed up byek & 1nhuman's webcams. As a result, byek had 1nhuman's webcam on the stream, and 1nhuman had the fake webcam that was supposed to be byek's.
The photo with the radar on the table is real. At the same time, Senza representatives say that it is fake, since, according to them, the player's webcam on the broadcast actually showed a completely different monitor than the one in the photo.
But they set themselves up: the monitor in the photo does not match the monitor in the broadcast, not because the photo is allegedly fake, but because the webcam shown in the broadcast is actually fake, as SENZA itself stated (https://t.co/9kj5tuZaqQ). By confirming this, they dug themselves into an even deeper hole, abandoning their only version of why the photo was fake
We have an exclusive photo from the desktop of player “byek” during the ROSY (SENZA) vs. ENCE Academy match
Right under the monitor, the player had a phone with an open radar hack, which was not visible on the broadcast cameras.
@senzaesports You guys are contradicting yourselves
First you claim that the webcam on the stream is fake and that it's not your player shown there, and then you say that our photo is fake because the monitor doesn't match the webcam on the stream
@grassGuzzler @NotCloudFPS @cloverware@zypnofps They contradict themselves. They compared our photo with the camera on the stream, but in the same thread they stated that the camera on the stream is fake and that it's not their player there.

‼️ UPD: SENZA used fake webcams instead of the players' webcams to hide the radar-hack
During the matches, instead of some players' webcams, the stream showed the webcams of their friends or actors, whose screens showed a screencast of the real player's game
