In a surprise move, Serghij DemQQ Demchenko, honorary captain of the Monte CS2 team, is calling on fans to refrain from hating British player Owen smooya Butterfield.

This unexpected gesture comes amid rising tensions in the CS2 community, particularly directed against smooya, who is known for his outspoken nature.

Regarding smooya, firstly, he is an even type, normal, he condemned the war and says F*ck putin! Glory to Ukraine both with us and with other players, but this is a different matter. The second fact is that he donated $20,000, not hryvnia for the ZSU. He didn’t want anyone to know about it, it wasn’t today, but since the beginning of the war, he didn’t want anyone to know, but I’m telling you to understand the same way. The third point is that he covered Lukoil with duct tape and wore a black T-shirt during the first match. Yes, I can 100% support that playing for FORZE he should demonstrate himself. But even if he did this, friends, you should just understand and not hate him that he was shouting and showing fakes. This is all a game, I also scream, I lash out at someone in terms of attacking my opponent, so this is just a game moment and we are on excellent terms.

 

DemQQ's call for mutual respect highlights the importance of unity in a competitive gaming environment. Despite differences in opinions and backgrounds, creating a culture of mutual understanding and support remains a priority for community growth.
