Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen has denied making a pro-Russia comment in a Telegram conversation that has gone viral today. The in-game leader for G2 Esports said the conversation and comments are fake and called out CS:GO personalities for sharing it and attributing the comments to him.
In the Telegram conversation that you can find below, one person claiming to be an admin for a charity CS:GO tournament made to raise money for Ukraine interacts with a user called HooXi and invites him to take part in the tournament. The Telegram HooXi asks for $500 to participate and later denies taking part in the tournament as he doesn’t want to support Ukraine in “any way.” This interaction gained traction on social media after the Ukrainian streamer Arseniy “ceh9” Trynozhenko shared it on his own Telegram channel and called HooXi a clown.
