The charitable intentions of CS2 veteran Owen smooya Butterfield could lead to a financial dispute with the team in which he took part.
Smooya, who recently ended his collaboration with FORZE, announced on stream his decision to donate his share of the prize money for 21st-28th place at ESL Pro League Season 19 to support Ukraine. This reportedly caused friction between the player and the organization.
Details of the dispute remain unclear. However, there are speculations that smooya's promise may conflict with his contractual agreements with FORZE. The organization may not want to pay part of it, which will lead to potential confrontation.
Neither smooya nor FORZE have officially commented on the situation. It is unclear whether the parties will reach an agreement or whether smooya will have to give up the prize money.
The news comes after smooya publicly denounced his association with FORZE, a Russian esports organization. He confirmed that he would not return to the team and expressed his disapproval of playing under the Russian flag due to the ongoing war.
