Photos from Round 31, the SK - VP football match

10-7-2017 23:15

The long-awaited football match between SK and Virtus.Pro has been played out today at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne and our photographer was there to bring you pictures of this unusual face-off between two Counter-Strike powerhouses.

What started with a few joking tweets nearly five months ago culminated today in Cologne, as Virtus.pro and SK played out a 5-on-5 football match dubbed "Round 31".

Our photographer Radosław "MAKKU" Makuch captured some of the most memorable moments from the matchup, which was in the end won by SK 5:4.

He cant smoke that much as a cs pro, hed be having cravings mid match and losing focus/getting irritable. Hes probably just smoking one cigarette every 2/3 hours

I thought these guys grew up in Brazil were raised on football, their best player was the Benjamin “Kane” Reichert the co founder of SK Gaming some old man from Germany lol but to be fair he is a former professional football player so it wasn't a surprise he's way better than some CS Go players.

This is just a myth, usually people raised on favelas or really poor families are raised playing football, but the normal BR citizen just watches it and plays just for fun with his friends
