Toxicity in the CS community has shown itself again when a player with the nickname Loger9 disrupted a game by taking out his anger on his teammates, especially the girlfriend of the streamer with the nickname haley.
Details of the incident
The incident occurred during a solo gamei, where Loger9 intentionally interfered with his teammates throughout the game. His toxic behavior included shooting at his own, throwing grenades at the team and making offensive comments. The situation escalated after a player accidentally threw a grenade at him in the third round.

Instead of accepting it as an accident, the player decided to take revenge and directed his anger at the girl. This case highlights the difficulties women face in online games, especially competitive ones like CS. The victim of the bullying said that Loger9 repeatedly shot at her character and even made lewd suggestions, such as starting OnlyFans.
His actions not only ruined the match, but also reinforced the toxic atmosphere that often discourages women from participating in the game. While toxic players like Loger9 are not representative of the entire CS community, their behavior can leave lasting consequences.

Player reactions
Justinas “jL” Lekavičius, a NAVI player, did not pass by, commenting as follows:
This is the harsh reality of girls not playing 5-man stacks. My fiance goes through the same shit every day, I would honestly just leave the game after round 3, but my ban would probably be longer than his. I would stop playing cs if I had to deal with this shit constantly.
In addition to jL, the entire community expressed words of support for the girl and underneath the post mentioned support for FACEIT to punish the player.
Conclusion
These incidents happen often, but not all of them get online and not all are penalized, although everyone should be penalized. Combating toxic behavior is essential to making CS and other games in general a friendlier place for all players, regardless of gender.
