PC crash decides important match – professional calls the condition of Counter-Strike 2 “damn embarrassing”

earthpressnews

Counter-Strike 2’s “PGL Copenhagen Majoer” will take place from March 17th to 31st, a tournament with $1.25 million in prize money. But for the “Virtus.pro” team, the tournament now took a bad turn: at the most important moment, a PC crash decided the fate of the Russians. The tournament organizers blame a graphics driver from NVIDIA. Professionals see the problem in the state of Counter-Strike 2, even on powerful gaming PCs the shooter suffers from many problems.

That was the moment:

  • In a match between Virtus.pro and G2 E-Sport, the game was tied at 11-11. It was about getting into the playoffs and ultimately about a $500,000 prize and a ticket to the World Cup.
  • Virtus Pro had the chance to plant the bomb and win, but Dzhami “Jame” Ali (25, Russia)’s game crashed. He had the sniper rifle and was the decisive man in the group.
  • But without Jame on the field, G2 was able to take advantage of the situation and win the match and the series.

    This is what the affected player says: The sniper Jame shows himself to be big in the defeat and sees the reason for his team’s elimination not in one bug, but in the team’s overall performance:

    “Many people are wondering what happened to the bug, so many people are tilted. Right now, after the defeat, I feel empty, I have no emotions. But I don’t think it’s worth paying too much attention to, because the level at which we played on Anubis doesn’t suit our team, even without bugs.”

    This is what the opponents say: Nikola “NiKo” Kovač (27, Bosnia-Herzegovina) from G2 finds clearer words for the situation:

    “It’s damn embarrassing to play a major with so many problems and bugs in the game […] It sucks, much love to Virtus.pro.”

    Counter-Strike 2 has many problems despite top PCs

    This is how the fans discuss it: The crash is also a big topic on Reddit. Here they say:

  • The PGL is not to blame
  • The players would have received top PCs with RTX 4080 graphics cards
  • The only fault is “Valve” and their spaghetti code, which repeatedly caused problems during the tournament

    • The story follows a series of problems that cloud the success of Counter-Strike 2. The shooter is currently experiencing a revival and is generating a lot of money for Steam operator Valve. But there is criticism of the technical quality of the shooter:
