Of particular note are past stars such as Braxton “swag” Pierce and Joshua “steel” Nissan, who are well known for their scandal in 2014, which later led to them being banned for rigging. swag, who started his career in 2012, quickly became one of the most promising players on the CS scene before facing restrictions following a match-fixing scandal.

steel is an experienced player known for playing for iBUYPOWER and Chaos. Like swag, steel has also been affected by the match-fixing scandal, but has managed to make a name for himself and continues to be an active player in cyber sports.

This match will be an opportunity to see legends of the past face off against current professionals in a relaxed environment. It's a great way to get in the mood before the main tournament finals, which will take place right after the show match.

The finals will feature G2 vs. Vitality for $100,000, a slot at IEM Cologne 2024 and 1 win in the race for the Intel Grand Slam.
