🎮 149 million bot accounts on Twitch flagged as Russia-linked, allegedly half of all new platform registrations for the second year running.

"CS2NEWS" attributed this to "a Twitch analyst" without naming one.

Twitch has been visibly tightening bot detection in 2025-26, and Russian-language streamers were among those who saw heavy view drops when previous waves of bot purges hit.

🇪🇺 NAVI's Ukrainian core gave a couple of off-server soundbites worth noting :)

🇺🇦 w0nderful: would fly to LA once a year for a month max, but living there permanently - no. Prefers life in Ukraine!🔥

🇽🇰 makazze (NAVI's Kosovo-born rifler): still hasn't tried Ukrainian food because, in his words, his teammate Igor (w0nderful) hasn't treated him to any. He adds that, for him, Balkan cuisine is the best of all!

🇽🇰 makazze on the Cache return: he's curious which map Valve drops to make room. His personal pick for the chopping block: Nuke. With one explicit plea — please, not Ancient!🔥

🧐 Worth knowing:
🇽🇰makazze having Nuke trauma is understandable. NAVI led 11-0 on Nuke in the BLAST Rivals 2026 GF before 🇪🇺Vitality ran 13 unanswered to take the map in overtime - still one of the biggest blown halves in CS2 history.

🇺🇦Cache returned April 28, sits in the queue waiting for Active Duty entry after Cologne. (rumors)

Cuisine discourse and map veto preferences will not affect Cologne Major prep!

🇩🇰 Falcons paid for stars and got exactly what they paid for - or no?)

🏆 PGL Astana 2026 · Swiss closed(for them) · Qualified 3-1
📊 VRS: #4 → #4 (1824 → 1893 pts, +69 net)

🕹 The run:
R1 vs K27 2-0 - mONESY 1.56
R2 vs 9z 1-2 - NiKo 1.17 (top of his side in the loss)
R3 vs Monte 2-0 - NiKo 1.57
R4 vs MongolZ 2-1 - kyousuke 1.45

🧐 Worth knowing:
🇩🇰 Falcons opened 1-1 and recovered from the 9z loss to close 3-1. That 9z loss is now part of an upset run worth its own conversation: 9z went 3-0 Swiss from #20.

NiKo carrying a loss with 1.17 means the rest of the side averaged below 1.00 on the day 9z found their map. Cologne Major is 22 days out; Will the Falcons have time to fix all their bugs? As 🇩🇰 Kerrigan says, he still needs to work a little on his personal game. And Niko says that they just need a little more time and everything will be great!

🔥 Former teammates of 🇩🇰 karrigan have spoken out for the first time about his departure from the team!

karrigan's move to Falcons was the loudest IGL switch of the year - and FaZe's remaining four only now have started weighing in.
Twistzz went on record with HLTV after BLAST Rivals saying he hoped frozen would stay for the rebuild and become "a pillar alongside me and the other OGs." He also publicly noted the way the departure was handled could have been better - a sentiment karrigan addressed in his own HLTV sit-down ahead of PGL Astana, explaining the seven-day Cologne cutoff didn't leave time for a clean heads-up.

🙇‍♂️The other three reportedly reacted along these lines:

jcobbb: thought he might be cut after the Bucharest result; woke up to a farewell text from karrigan instead.

frozen: said the offer was already on karrigan's desk when he was told - understood the decision but didn't endorse it.

broky: framed the exit as not the best ending to the FaZe arc, but said with results trending the way they were, there wasn't much room for disappointment.

🧐 Worth knowing:
- 🇩🇰 karrigan moved to replace kyxsan at Falcons

- 🇪🇺 FaZe brought in Neityu as stand-in. The "new FaZe" then beat FURIA and G2 at BLAST Rivals before losing to NAVI - better stretch than anything they'd put together with karrigan in months.

- 🇩🇰 Falcons just closed a 3-1 Swiss at PGL Astana.

🇩🇰 HEROIC has been eliminated....

🏆 PGL Astana 2026 · Eliminated 1-3
📊 VRS: #20 → #21 (1485 → 1495 pts, +10 net but a rank slip)

🕹 The run:
R1 vs 🇷🇺Aurora 2-0 - xfl0ud 1.53
R2 vs 🇧🇷FURIA 0-2 - susp 0.96
R3 vs 🇪🇸Gentle Mates 0-2 - yxngstxr 0.93
R4 vs 🇷🇺magic 1-2 - nilo 1.20 (elimination....)

🧐 Worth knowing:
- 🇩🇰 HEROIC opened the tournament with maybe the cleanest Day 1 result - a 2-0 over Aurora (#11 going in), with xfl0ud at 1.53 looking like a top-15 AWPer.
- Three matches later they're out. The frustrating part isn't the 🇧🇷 FURIA loss (top-10 opponent, expected territory) — it's that after the collapses against Gentle Mates and the magic elimination, none of their MVPs cracked 1.25 across three series.

We genuinely had them on 3-2 in the bracket before the event. R1 backed that up. Then the floor fell out. Tough one to watch.

🔥 ANUBIS STREAK DEAD!

Pulling the receipts on a 🇪🇺 Vitality stat that's been quietly stacking up: 10 consecutive map wins on Anubis, going back to March 14, 2025. But today, the 🇷🇺 BetBoom team stopped this win streak, and it looks like the era of vitality is starting to show cracks...

📊 The full run:
12/05/26 - vs 🇷🇺 BetBoom 10-13 (BetBoom end it)
03/05/26 — vs 🇪🇺 NAVI 13-11 (BLAST Rivals GF)
29/03/26 — vs 🇪🇺 NAVI 13-10
14/02/26 — vs 🇪🇺 G2 13-8
24/01/26 — vs 🇩🇰 Falcons 13-4
18/01/26 — vs 🇸🇪 EYEBALLERS 19-16
21/04/25 — vs 🇦🇺 FlyQuest 13-2
29/03/25 — vs 🇷🇺 Spirit 13-6
21/03/25 — vs 🇷🇺 Virtuspro 13-6
15/03/25 — vs 🇲🇳 MongolZ 13-4
14/03/25 — vs 🌎 Liquid 13-9


🧐 Worth knowing:
🏜 Anubis spent six months out of the Active Duty pool (July 2025 → January 2026), and Vitality just picked the streak back up where they left off. The 19-16 vs 🇸🇪 EYEBALLERS is the only one that even went to overtime; the rest were straight closes. 🇪🇺NAVI got the closest crack at it — twice (13-10, then 13-11 in the BLAST Rivals GF after leading 11-9). Both times Vitality won the last stretch when it mattered.

🇫🇷apEX said in an interview that they didn't prepare for the tournament, 🇬🇧mezii and 🇫🇷Apex were visiting Michelin-starred restaurants and the other players were busy traveling.

And 🇪🇺 natus vincere has never lost to #BetBoom - so 🇪🇺NaVi>🇪🇺Vitality?)

🔥 SICK BUT STILL COOKING!

🇺🇦 NAVI dropped a press blitz yesterday after taking down 🇩🇪 GamerLegion 2-1 - iM led the talking, makazze backed him up, and it turns out both played the series with a flu.

🇷🇴 iM on the Ancient blowout (1-13 on 🇪🇺NAVI's own pick): says 🇪🇺GamerLegion started on the T-side of NAVI's own map, NAVI won the opening buy round but dropped the pistol - and from there everything fell apart in mid-rounds. We where walk out one by one and just die.

🇷🇴iM on NAVI's biggest opponent: not 🇩🇰Astralis, not 🇧🇷Legacy, not even 🇪🇺Vitality. 🇪🇺NAVI themselves. The team that's been one mistake away from losing series all event can't afford another.

🇷🇴 iM on 🇪🇺 Vitality after the 🇷🇺BetBoom loss: the world #1 looks beatable now. Says NAVI have to use that opening if they want to win the tournament — and reckons NAVI will finally take at least one map off Vitality if they meet at Atlanta. (Reminder: NAVI haven't taken a map off Vitality in 12 straight.)

🇷🇴 iM to the haters: not perfect, but NAVI are in playoffs. Keep barking on 🕹 HLTV. (Original was less polite😅)

🇽🇰 makazze defending iM: told NAVI fans on Twitter that even sick, iM is still doing damage. When asked if he was sick too when played Ancient - "I'm also sick. But no excuses."

🕹 Worth knowing:
NAVI just climbed to world #2 in VRS (+6.9 pts), with w0nderful at #9 Player VRS (1,830 pts) and makazze at #6 (1,862 pts). iM is sitting #7 in Player VRS at 1,838 pts.

🇷🇺 Aurora ground their way through five rounds and into the 🏆 PGL Astana playoffs!

🏆 PGL Astana 2026 · Swiss closed · Qualified 3-2
📊 VRS: #9 → #8 (1743 → 1792 pts, +49 pts)

🕹 The run:
R1 vs 🇩🇰HEROIC 0-2 - Wicadia 1.13 (rough start, -16 pts)
R2 vs 🇲🇳 The Huns 2-0 - Wicadia 1.71 (the bounce-back)

R4 vs 🇪🇺 MOUZ 0-2 - XANTARES 1.09
R5 vs 🇲🇳 MongolZ 2-0 - soulfly 1.38 (the qualifier)

🧐 Worth knowing:
The PARIVISION 2-0 in R3 was the swing match: knocked PARIVISION out of the world top 10 and pushed Aurora into the upper half of the bracket race. Tomorrow they're on the Astana stage.

🌍 Global Player VRS top 8!

🕹 Global Player VRS - Top 8 (May 13):
🇫🇷 ZywOo (🇪🇺Vitality) - 2023
🏴‍☠️ m0NESY (🇩🇰Falcons) - 1951
🇮🇱 flameZ (🇪🇺Vitality) - 1939
🇪🇪 ropz (🇪🇺Vitality) - 1938
🏴‍☠️ donk (🇷🇺Spirit) - 1917
🇽🇰 makazze (🇺🇦NAVI) - 1877
🇷🇴 iM (🇺🇦NAVI) - 1850
🇬🇧 mezii (🇪🇺Vitality) - 1848

Four Vitality players in the top 8. ZywOo's lead over m0NESY sits at 72 points.

🧐 Worth knowing:
1. donk sits #5 globally right now at 1917 pts. The four players above him are 🇫🇷ZywOo, m0NESY, 🇮🇱flameZ, 🇪🇪ropz - three 🇪🇺Vitality players and one 🇩🇰Falcons player. If donk keeps the Astana form through the playoffs and into Cologne, the top 3 conversation gets very live. m0NESY is 34 points ahead of donk for #2 (well within reach), and flameZ/ropz are within 22 points for #3/#4.

2. Vitality's lower bracket Atlanta run could erode their players' VRS just as Spirit's deep Astana run lifts donk's.

Does donk break into the global top 3 after Astana, or do ZywOo, m0NESY and flameZ hold the line?

🇲🇳 The MongolZ has been eliminated.

🏆 PGL Astana 2026 · Eliminated 2-3
📊 VRS: #7 → #6 (1790 → 1812 pts, +22 net but still out)

🎯 The run:
R1 vs 🇷🇺magic 2-0 - 910 1.43 (+25 pts)
R2 vs 🇷🇺Spirit 0-2 - 910 1.39 (top of her side in loss)
R3 vs 🇪🇺G2 2-0 - 910 1.41 (+31 pts, peak of the run)
R4 vs 🇩🇰Falcons 1-2 - bLitz 1.25
R5 vs 🇷🇺Aurora 0-2 - mzinho 1.28 (elimination)

🧐 Worth knowing:
1. 910 was the highest-rated 🇲🇳 MongolZ player in three straight series and never below 1.39. When the MVP card moved off her in R4 and R5, the team's ceiling moved with it. Maybe that's what was missing in the finals matches.

2. Cologne Major in 20 days.🇲🇳 MongolZ already have their Stage 2 spot — Astana was a tune-up, not a must-win.

🇷🇺 The 2018 Boston Major-winning Cloud9 core is reportedly putting the band back together for CS2.

Per a leak from streamer Cooper during his IEM Atlanta co-stream - and confirmed in chat by Stewie2k himself - a five-man orgless stack is forming with:
🇺🇸 Stewie2k - ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 champion, first NA player to win both a Major and an Intel Grand Slam
🇺🇸 autimatic - ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 champion
🇺🇸 Skadoodle - ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 champion
🇺🇸 Brehze - ex-Evil Geniuse, Top-8 best player of 2019
🇺🇸 Victor also known as food - last competed in CS before 2020, has been in VALORANT since

Three Boston Major champions back on the same server eight years after that 2-1 vs FaZe in OT. Brehze and Victor fill out the five.

🕹 Worth knowing:
1. The project is intentionally orgless. Stewie2k said in Cooper's chat the goal is to "show yall we aint playin for no money" - a statement framed in direct contrast to the multi-million-dollar payrolls running the top of the scene right now.

2. Every USA representative except EliGE has already left the tournament and the field is being dominated by european players from Vitality, NAVI, FUT, Astralis, Falcons, etc.

3. A reunion stack of pre-VALORANT NA legends, playing for pride, is the kind of story the region hasn't had in years. HLTV.org

🇸🇦🇫🇷 🙇‍♂️ The biggest event on the esports calendar might be changing countries - but nobody official is saying anything yet.

🏆 What's the EWC?
The Esports World Cup is the largest annual multi-game event in esports, run by the Saudi-backed Esports Foundation. EWC 2026 is scheduled July 6 – August 23, with $75M+ prize pool, 25 tournaments across 24 games, 2,000 players and 200 clubs from 100+ countries. CS2 is one of the headline titles. Originally set for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — same as the previous two.

💋 The Paris rumor:
Started May 8 with an X account (LPL Fanclub), echoed same day by a Russian-speaking insider (harumi). On May 10, Falcons content creator Falcon Abu Najd posted "2026 Esports World Cup will be held in France" to 1.3M views. May 13, Chinese journalist MELON posted "EWC: Saudi Arabia → Paris" on Weibo.

What's confirmed:
Nothing! No city named beyond "France." No venue identified. The Esports Foundation has not commented. EWCcom still lists Riyadh. 🖥Liquipedia, 🕹 HLTV all show Riyadh.

🕹 Worth knowing:
1. The rumor isn't coming from nowhere. The 2026 Iran conflict saw Iranian strikes target Riyadh and King Khalid Airport in late February and early March. A ceasefire was announced in April but is described as fragile.

2. Moving a $75M, 7-week, 200-club event 56 days out would be one of the biggest logistics calls in esports history — France has the infrastructure (Paris hosted 2024 Olympics), but the actual decision hasn't been made publicly.

3. For CS2 specifically, EWC has been one of the biggest non-Major events on the calendar two years running.

NiKo BACKS FINN!

🤔 NiKo gave🇩🇰 karrigan (Finn Andersen) the public stamp of approval after Falcons closed Swiss 3-1 and locked their PGL Astana playoff spot - Finn's first playoff appearance in 2026.

The gist of NiKo's read:
Finn brought a different calling style. None of the current Falcons players had played under a captain like him before, so it's a learning process — but the team feels comfortable in-game when they're leading and have momentum. On the harder moments: when matches got tough, it became clear Finn's system needs 100% concentration every second. That's the gap they're closing.
There's a clear reason Falcons wanted him on the roster. NiKo believes Finn takes the team to the next level.

🇪🇺 NAVI 10, 🇪🇺 VITALITY 0

🇺🇦 Before Vitality became the team nobody beats - NAVI were the team that beat them. 10 series in a row, 2020 to 2022. Nobody else has matched it!

📊 Biggest H2H win streaks against Vitality (HLTV-tracked):
🇪🇺NAVI - 10 wins (2020–2022) ← all-time record
🇪🇺G2 - 3 wins (2024)
🇩🇰Falcons - 3 wins (2024–2025)
🇧🇷FURIA - 3 wins (2020)
🇹🇷Eternal Fire - 3 wins (2024–2025)
🇪🇺fnatic - 3 wins (2019)


🕹 Last time Vitality lost X matches in a row:

3 matches in a row - 2 years ago (October 2024):

0-2 vs 🇩🇰HEROIC at IEM Rio 2024 (09.10.2024)
1-2 vs 🇪🇺MOUZ at IEM Rio 2024 (11.10.2024)
0-2 vs 🇷🇺Spirit at BLAST World Final 2024 (30.10.2024)


4 matches in a row - 5 years ago (March-April 2021):

0-2 vs 🇵🇱ENCE at EPL S13
0-2 vs 🇸🇪NIP at EPL S13
1-2 vs 🇺🇾9z at BLAST Spring Showdown 2021
0-1 vs 🇺🇸Complexity at DH Masters Spring 2021


5+ matches in a row - never. Not once.

🧐 Worth knowing:
1. 🇪🇺 NAVI's 10-streak ran across an era when 🇪🇺 Vitality were ZywOo + apEX + a rotating cast. The current Vitality core (🇫🇷ZywOo + 🇫🇷apEX + 🇮🇱flameZ + 🇪🇪ropz + 🇬🇧mezii) has been almost untouchable since January 2026 - five tournament titles in a row, then the 🇷🇺BetBoom loss in Atlanta yesterday. Vitality have never lost 5 series in a row in the org's history.

2. 🇪🇺NAVI's bracket path in Atlanta could put them on a collision course with Vitality in the playoffs — they haven't taken a map off 🇪🇺 Vitality in 12 straight matches (current losing streak). The history says NAVI know how to do it.

🇺🇸 Liquid morale crisis...

🇺🇸 Liquid have stopped pretending. After 🇩🇪 GamerLegion sent them out of IEM Atlanta in the lower bracket - their third early exit in three weeks - three of the five players gave 🇩🇰 HLTV interviews that read more like a postmortem than a press hit.

🇵🇱 siuhy (IGL): "It's a very tough moment for the team." Said the squad came into Atlanta with three weeks of practice and felt initially confident — then lost their footing fast. Spoke openly about feeling helpless in the team's current situation and a confidence crater across the last couple of months.


🇭🇺 flashie (coach): the team is no longer playing to win - we're playing not to lose. Even on their own map picks we can't seize control early. Trying to find footing in the bad run, but new problems keep showing up.

🇺🇸 EliGe: the squad had different visions for how it wanted to play. The deeper they dug into discussions, the less synchronized they became. Even on pistol rounds, there isn't a single call on how to engage duels.

🕹 This is the worst Liquid year in recent memory. Honda sponsorship was terminated in 2025, ~6% staff layoffs followed, and the 2024 EBITDA-positive milestone hasn't carried into a strong 2025-26 competitive run.
🇸🇦 With Cologne Major Stage 1 just 19 days out, the public airing of internal dysfunction reads like a roster on borrowed time. The org has too much infrastructure (Alienware training centers in LA, Utrecht, São Paulo; analytics dept; Liquid Media B2B arm) to disappear, but the current five is in the deepest hole.

🇫🇷 ropz - "WE ARE BEST IN HISTORY"

🇪🇪 ropz sat with HLTV after Vitality's 2-0 over B8 booked their Atlanta playoff spot.

The big line: "we are the best team in the world, we might be the best team in history."

🇪🇪 ropz:
- On the rough start: the team didn't practice between BLAST Rivals and Atlanta. Communication slipped. Energy is on the lower side - third week in the US. The BetBoom loss came down to rust, not regression. Lower bracket form (vs FaZe, vs B8) is closer to "the Vitality you've seen all year."

- On Atlanta priority: Atlanta isn't a priority event. The team didn't want to come home with regrets, but Cologne Major is the goal. They'll rest a few days after Atlanta, run a bootcamp, then full prep mode for the Major.

- On complacency: not an issue. The five constantly talk about it, the staff watches for it, the system catches it before it shows up.


🕹 Worth knowing:
1. This 🇪🇺 Vitality core (🇫🇷ZywOo, 🇫🇷apEX, 🇪🇪ropz, 🇮🇱 flameZ, 🇬🇧 mezii) is on five consecutive trophies in 2026 (Kraków, Cluj, Rotterdam, Rio, BLAST Rivals).

2. ropz himself is the only player in CS history with three Grand Slam wins (one with FaZe, two with Vitality). The "best team in history" claim isn't from a fan account - it's from inside the locker room, with the receipts to make it a real conversation.

3. QF opponent: winner of 🇺🇦NAVI vs 🇧🇷Legacy. ropz said either is fine - Legacy beat them in a BO1 at Austin Major last year, so a rematch would be welcome.

🕹 Three quick stat reads from a busy day for NAVI and the Ukrainian sniper pool.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian AWPers at IEM Atlanta 2026 (HLTV Rating 3.0):
🇺🇦 w0nderful (🇺🇦NAVI) - 1.26
🇺🇦s1zzi (🇺🇦B8) - 1.12
🇺🇦cmtry (🇪🇺FUT) - 0.96
🇺🇦 s1mple (🇪🇺BC.Game) - 0.94


w0nderful is the standout, leading the UA AWP pool by a clear margin in a tournament.

Longest 1.00+ rating streaks at MVP-eligible events in 2026 (via statsmeister1):
🇫🇷 ZywOo (🇪🇺Vitality) - 30 maps
🇮🇱 flameZ (🇪🇺Vitality) - 20 maps
🏴‍☠️ kyousuke (🇩🇰Falcons) - 17 maps
🏴‍☠️ m0NESY (🇩🇰Falcons) - 15 maps
🇽🇰 makazze (🇪🇺NAVI) - 13 maps


makazze closes the top 5 - his streak ran from Cluj-Napoca through Rotterdam before Falcons broke it. ZywOo's 30 is the ceiling; his streak ended vs Falcons at IEM Rio.

🇺🇦 Aleksib's night vs 🇧🇷Legacy:
Rating 3.0: 0.56
Round Swing: -5.60%
K/D: 18/47
Firepower score: 0/100 - (This indicator is not real - but based on the game from Legacy, it looks like this....)


NAVI's IGL on the worst single-series box score he's posted in 2026, in a series NAVI lost 1-2 to a #14 team.
