Professional in Counter-Strike 2 keeps guns wrong, people ask for a bann and the end of his career

earthpressnews

The Russian Vladislav “Krad” Kravchenko (26) is a professional in Counter-Strike 2, the biggest game on Steam ever. With Counter-Strike, he earned about $ 190,000 in 97 tournaments, but now his career is under fire. Because he presented a weapon that looked harmless on one side, but showed a racist word on the other. He says: He didn’t know that because he had never looked at the weapon before.

What did the player do? Kradcs showed a desert Eagle in Counter-Strike 2 that had the racist N-word on one side of the weapon. When the weapon was worn in the right hand, the word was seen. If you showed the weapon in your left hand, it looked unproblematic.

According to a translation, the player said:

Look, I bought a new Deagle. She is cool. Here is the new one. And when you switch to your right hand, it is even better … with stickers. Unfortunately, I don’t play with my right hand.

As a result, he is said to have said that he would “only” play the weapon with his right hand, although he is actually known to wear weapons in Counter-Strike 2 in his left hand.

Player builds racist skin over stickers

How is such a skin possible? The skin is not in the game. But in Counter-Strike 2 there are “stickers”, stickers for the weapons, and these stickers were arranged in the weapon and placed on top of each other that they form the racist N word. It is not known whether the Russian did it or bought the weapon.

How is that discussed? An influencer shared a clip of the incident to X and says: “He denies that he has noticed that because it usually only plays with his left hand”.

The comments on Twitter are a bit mixed:

  • There are many who first have questions of understanding, how such a skin comes about and how it can be that there is such a skin in the greatest game on Steam
  • Many believe that the audacity of the player alone must have hard punishments in the e-sport of Twitch, Steam operator Valve or the ESL
  • One says: “The guy just drove his career to the wall in the speed run”
  • But there are also people who take note of the incident, shrugging, and comment with “is Russia” or “is a counter-strike”

    • Some also send a message to his e-sports team 9pandas that he had behaved racist and should be fired.

    Player himself says: He didn’t notice that before

    The player says that: On January 22nd, Krad wrote on Twitter/X:

    Hey people. I saw the post about the Deagle. I just wanted to tell you: I bought the weapon less than a week ago and didn’t see it because I only play with my left hand and it is mirrored. Have a good and productive day!

    But nobody really seems to believe him. In answer tweets it says: The player should fill out his application at McDonalds. The career is over. His argument is understood as a bad excuse. But many wish him a good and productive day.

    Counter-Strike 2 in Russia is a relevant and important game, but as old Russian proverb says: Happiness in Counter-Strike, bad luck in marriage: CS: GO: Player makes a woman after World Cup victory, she destroys his life – He does that today
