kakafu: “ESL issued me a final warning for showing emotion.”
Monte coach Alexander “kakafu” Shimanchik posted on social media platform X about a warning from ESL and commented on the current restrictions at Counter-Strike 2 Majors.
ESL issued me a final warning for showing emotion. Valve is forcing tournament operators to strictly enforce this rule at Majors. If that’s really the case, then I prefer Valorant’s approach, where the coach is in a separate room at a computer.
Earlier, during the second stage of the IEM Cologne Major 2026, Monte defeated BIG with a score of 13-8, but then lost to G2 Esports in overtime, 19-22. Thus, the Ukrainian team currently has a 1-1 record.
