Judge dismisses appeal, upholds Imperial Esports conviction over CS:GO player’s death

Brazilian organization Imperial Esports’ appeal against a prior conviction surrounding the death of professional Counter-Strike player Matheus “brutt” Queiroz was denied on May 26 as Brazilian courts upheld the $64,870 USD (R$400,000) compensation owed.

Brutt died on Dec. 15, 2019, aged 19, from a central nervous system infection after multiple days in the hospital, as reported by globo.com. He had been an up-and-coming AWPer within the Brazilian scene and signed with Imperial Esports just one month prior in Nov. 2019 ahead of the ESL One Road to Rio tournaments in early 2020.
