On July 8th at 18:00 EEST, a show match of Counter-Strike 2 will take place, featuring a team led by former Polish professional player Filip "NEO" Kubski and FaZe Clan. The announcement was made on the official SteelSeries Twitter account.

The match will be played in a best-of-5 format, and the English broadcast will be hosted on the SteelSeries Twitch channel. The teams will compete for a prize pool of $10,000. The organizers note that due to the limited map pool in CS2, some maps may be played multiple times.
