Counter Strike 2 professional KradCS gets "exposed" for using Deagle with controversial skin

Counter Strike 2 content creator and professional player KradCS is facing backlash online after showcasing a desert eagle skin that features the "N-word". The streamer was seen showcasing the gun during a broadcast. Usually known for making use of the lefthand view of his in-game guns, the streamer supposedly claimed to have been ignorant of the implications of his using that particular skin.

While not easily noticeable due to its inverted nature in the lefthand view model, the righthand view model showcases the word written on the side of the gun.

Explaining the matter, X user @JakeSucky wrote about it in a post:

"CS pro gets exposed having a deagle on broadcast with the N word. He denies noticing it cuz he plays lefthand view model."

As per the translation provided by another X user, @picklepissiere, KradCS said the following in one of the clips of him showing his Desert Eagle:

"Look, I bought this new Deagle. It's cool. Here's the new one. And if you switch it to the right hand, then it's even better... with stickers. Sadly I don't play with right hand."

CS2 professional KradCS shows off Desert Eagle skin featuring the "N-word"

Vladislav "KradCS" is a Russian content creator known for being a part of the 9Pandas esports organization. He has been an active Counter Strike professional player since 2023 and played under many other esports organizations, with his team often placing within the top five ranks in various championships.

Now, KradCS was seen showcasing a multicolored skin to his audience during a live broadcast, which had some stickers on the side. These stickers had been placed in a way that spelled out a racial epithet.

The same was even seemingly acknowledged by the streamer, who, as per translations provided by X user @picklepissiere, expressed his intention to "pronounce" the word out loud. Claiming that doing so "shouldn't be a ban," KradCS said:

"F**k, I wanna pronounce it again but I understand that I'm streaming and you can't do that. Ban for what? Shouldn't be a ban. Beautiful Deagle by the way. I love this skin. It's sparkly. Damn, it's so uncomfortable with right hand, but I think I'll play right hand ONLY with the Deagle. Not with other skins."

In other news, Valve, the company responsible for the development of Counter-Strike 2, recently shut down a mod that supposedly took over eight years to make. The mod, named Classic Offensive, aimed to bridge the gap between CS: GO and Counter-Strike 1.6 to bring a classic feeling of the original to the newer title.
