paiN to play FlyQuest for elimination after “glitch in the veto system”

Here is what you need to know about the Stage 2, Round 2 results.

Here is what you need to know about the Stage 2, Round 2 results.

paiN Gaming had an unsuccesful day of CS2, to say the least, losing both best-of-ones they played today. In the second one they played against BIG, they were entitled to choose their starting side.

However, a debacle has ensued involving biguzera, paiN’s captain, saying to Dust2.br that a glitch did not allow them to pick the CT-side, and that they would have avoided playing Overpass if they knew.

In response, ESL said that the selection happened randomly as a result of paiN not choosing a starting side, contrary to biguzera’s statement, who said the issue was with the app ESL uses for vetoes.

Spirit cruising through Stage 2

Team Spirit has had not struggles whatsoever in getting through the weaker opposition of Stage 2. So far, donk maintains a 2.01 rating, giving up six rounds in total on Mirage against BetBoom and MiBR.

BetBoom recovered to a 1-1 record, at the cost of GamerLegion, who find themselves in the 0-2 pool after losing on Nuke.

M80 also recovered from their first loss against G2, by beating B8.

My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they're relevant.

Besides that, I have a bachelor's in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
