2022-06-03 11:57

So much money for bad gameplay. LOL

Someone who knows anything about fe cs, what is the best matchup for the first round?

All 4 matches should be one-sided, Big vs Black Dragons being probably "closest" one

2022-06-03 12:31

BIG EQUIPA X Black Dragons is the most balanced

2022-06-03 13:09

South Africa talent, very nice

2022-06-03 12:13

Very ez 4 nigma

2022-06-03 13:10

Russia should not be allowed to play there

2022-06-03 13:31

why not?

2022-06-03 13:44

Because of one old drunk and stupid russian guy

2022-06-03 14:42

so you want to punish young russian women competing in a game for having the same nationality? Kinda racist bro As long as they don't support the genocide of ukrainians they are just some female CS:GO pros and should be treated as such. Punishing russians for being born in russia is dumb as fuck.
