Counter-Strike 2 players attending BLAST’s Fall Final this week are threatening to boycott the event’s media day, protesting the organizer’s decision to allow Astralis to sub in new captain cadiaN after the roster lock due to a seemingly non-existent “medical emergency.”
What was originally thought to be a joke poking fun at BLAST and Astralis has been revealed as something more, with Liquid’s Twistzz, FaZe’s karrigan, Falcons’ Snappi, and Vitality’s apEX all declaring they “might” be ill for the media day tomorrow. It’s understood this extends to each IGL’s teams too, meaning half of the CS2 players at BLAST Fall Final could skip out on media obligations on the eve of the major tournament.
