CS2 Player Exploits Economy System by Disconnecting – Another Scandal Hits CCT Tournaments

A new controversy has emerged at the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 20 Closed Qualifier, as RUSH B player "tex1y" was caught intentionally disconnecting in the final moments of a round to gain an unfair economic advantage—violating tournament rules.

Incident Details

• The situation occurred during RUSH B vs. FAVBET in the group stage of the tournament.
• FAVBET secured a 2-1 victory, advancing to face ECSTATIC in the next stage.
• On the first map, tex1y disconnected 3 seconds before the round ended, preventing a zero-loss bonus for his saved weapon—exploiting the CS2 economy system.
• This action violates section 7.1.11 of the CCT rulebook, which forbids intentional disconnections without valid reasons.

CCT and RUSH B's Response

• CCT issued a major warning to RUSH B for the rules violation.
• RUSH B condemned the player’s actions, promising internal disciplinary measures.

Proposed Rule Changes

• FAVBET player "Bondik" suggested a harsh penalty: If a player disconnects without justification, their team should start the next round at a disadvantage—eliminating the incentive for such behavior.

This controversy adds to the growing list of integrity concerns at CCT tournaments, raising questions about whether further rule adjustments will be implemented to prevent future abuses.
