#PlayForBelarus charity tournament announced

17/9/2020 - 14:43

An online charity tournament has been set up on World Peace Day, September 21, as a gesture of solidarity with the people of Belarus, where protests have been ongoing since the August 9 presidential election.

Eight teams will fight for a $25,000 prize pool on September 21, while a fundraiser for the Belarusian House Foundation, an organization that supports activities for democracy and human rights as well as the development of civil society in Belarus, will run simultaneously.

The day will kick off at 13:00 with streams in at least eight different languages, featuring a single-elimination bracket with best-of-one quarter-finals and semi-finals that will culminate in a best-of-three grand final.

Nemiga will be competing in #PlayForBelarus

The event, launched by Polish gaming agency Fantasyexpo, will have three Polish squads in attendance, PACT, HONORIS and Illuminar, as well as the German-Polish side Sprout.

The highest ranked Belarusian squad, Nemiga, will also be in the fray, as well as three European teams, Endpoint, sAw and Budapest Five.

The eight invited teams are:

2020-09-17 15:41

and what? Do you think that being Russian I can't have my own opinion? Personally I support democratic changes in Belarus, but still dont think its good idea to involve CS players into it.

2020-09-17 15:45

No, you actually can't lmao

2020-09-17 16:34

Well that's the hole point, you live in Russia and only one man make the rules, so you can have a opinion all you want, it doesn't matter matter one bit, or change the fact that Russia is defacto in charge in Belarus. They will get a new leader sure, but I'm the end it's up to Putin to pick him. Also, why can't cs pros be politically involved if they want to?

2020-09-17 17:56

Bruh... We, russian people, are not Putin. Just saying ;) So don't blame us for everything that's going on. We are not able to change anything here.

2020-09-21 14:53

yeah, sure, you can. On your kitchen.

2020-09-20 21:36

Its not about politics, its about human rights and a country which is unwillingly ran by a dictator.

2020-09-22 06:43

So many countrys in EU have dictature too, to example Germany or France. And when People go to Meeting(Streik), the police beat them

2020-09-24 07:54

charity is politics?

2020-09-17 14:54

Who determines what's "charity"? It's biased

2020-09-17 14:55

idiot

Its literally written there its charity lmao

What a surprise that brasilian doesn't understand english This is a "charity" because some person or multiple persons decided that this IS a "charity", you understand?

2020-09-17 15:00

that's how charity works ? if me and a couple of other people decide to raise money its called a charity ???? Also I am fake flaggin lol

2020-09-17 15:02

U are not exactly smart, are you?

What the fuck do you mean? Belarus gov is breaking human laws on daily basis, this fact alone determines financially helping oposition as charity

2020-09-17 15:10

Thank you for clearing it up for the others.

Why so mad? Cry cry

2020-09-17 17:29

A game about terrorism isn't political? Whodathunkit

Are you one of those boomers who calls games terrorismn or ignites it ?

2020-09-17 15:03

Excuse me Mr Bolsanaro, but the two sides you can choose in CS are literally called Terrorist and Counter Terrorist

Yah but csgo isn't political because in that case every other game is also one

2020-09-17 15:06

You came so close to working it out, nt though

leave it you wouldn't understand its ok though

You also can't the game seriously if it gets like this, though. Either you can tell your parents that this is a real game making changes, a real affinity you can chase, or its a game that is far apart from the real-world in lala-land. I'd think they would rather have me playing the former.

2020-09-18 08:22

You should read some european newspapers man... russias press freedom is comparable to nazi propaganda machine.

2020-09-22 06:48

Yeah, and there is no propaganda in EU media. xD

2020-09-22 07:00

Wow

2020-09-17 14:57

Ridiculous attempt to raise mediatic pressure on the Belarus government. Poland is just a puppy of the IMF/EU/USA, who want to overthrow the public services of the country and make profit of them. Sad to see tier2-3 cs being part of this.

+1!

+1 wise words

2020-09-17 16:03

Yeah, cuz it's better to be "independent" under a rule of some senile dictator with $200 wage.

2020-09-17 16:58

i dont see anything wrong with that

2020-09-17 17:15

Ruski living in Spain or just brain washed?

2020-09-17 18:00

While every mass media repeats the same message you accuse me of being brainwashed. Just follow the money, it is not that hard to understand global politics.

2020-09-18 12:13

Brainwashed by some youtube channel or truth blogger you are. Break free you must.

2020-09-22 06:59

Belarus is surrounded from all sides :(

2020-09-17 16:47

KeEP pOlITicS oUT oF sPoRT mad respect to nemiga for risking so much, looking forward to see them play

What are they risking ,delusional?

2020-09-17 15:14

People are getting picked up on the street by police, beaten and jailed for no reason at all. What Nemiga are risking? Returning to Belarus and end up in a jail cell for an unknown time period with no legal charges or access to a lawyer. Having their passports confiscated and being unable to participate in any tournaments outside Belarus. To mention a few things.

2020-09-17 16:08

2020-09-17 19:59

we may never know, 2020 has been a fucked up year.

2020-09-17 22:04

Unless you live in Belarus or regularly talk to someone from Belarus you should perhaps consider trusting the things journalists statiioned in Belarus tells you if you want to act like an expert on the situation there. Plenty of journalists have reported on random people being beaten up and arrested for doing nothing else than being out on the streets. Even miles away from the nearest protest minding their own business.

It's just that the territories of Ukraine and Russia are not included in the sphere of interests of Poland. Rather the opposite)

HAHA I wonder if HLTV would have a #PLAYFORSERBIA

2020-09-17 16:02

No need for that in esport

Serbia was genociding kosovo, so no, they wouldn't have a charity event for a country that thought it could kill off an ethnic group and then cry that they got their assholes kicked in.

Prize pool bigger than what they'll donate

2020-09-17 16:04

hahahahahhahah

2020-09-17 16:06

wow

2020-09-17 16:27

Can we stay the fuck out of politics?

2020-09-17 16:28

+1 even though they would make a tournament against the situation in North-Korea, I would still be against the tournament. E-sports shouldn't take part in politics.

2020-09-17 16:32

But its not about politics, isnt it? Its about human rights in the first place. Peaceful protesters get beaten and inprisoned. Last Sunday sources said about 600 where literally abducted, just in one day.

2020-09-22 07:12

it's not politics anymore, people actually die there

Protestors are getting beaten up by the regime/police. As with any sport „protests“, it is always the right wingers/authoritarians that are against this. It is the absolute right thing to do in times like these. Especially if you have a voice and can do something to even help a little, creating awareness etc

nt Putin

2020-09-17 23:32

We tried to keep em out of F1, American Football, NBA, Rally and so many more, nobody listens the audience

2020-09-21 14:24

Thought it said PrayForBelarus, that would be a good name too

2020-09-18 07:19

no dictatorship in Europe! a great idea is to organize this tournament. #freebelarus

2020-09-18 08:21

All this shit started because Lukashenko didnt wanted to buy oil from Russia so putin started protests in belarus and now people will donate?

2020-09-18 11:46

not yet, we had fake elections like 5 times in a row and we do not have basic civil and political rights at all

2020-09-18 13:05

but if you think about it, its good for you cuz if you will have democracy all the agricultural companies and others will just disapear and people in "new" goverement will just suck out money for them selfs and it all happend in Latvia aswell after getting freedom from Russia So be happy what you have now cuz when Lukashenko goes away, Belarus goes fucking awfuly down

2020-09-18 13:41

and dont argue with that cuz we already made our statistics and predictions. it will just get worst

2020-09-18 13:42

Łukaszenko is watching You guys. Remember to respect him on twitch chat or he will drive a tank thru Your house. #democracy

2020-09-18 11:52

Seriously?? Why the need to mix up politics in sports??

2020-09-18 12:55

idk, maybe because it's more than politic it's ppl lives and freedom now

2020-09-18 13:11

Well yes... But there are people who are sick and tired of listening to Corona, to countries molesting their people and all other shitty ass news. 2020 is a shit year and alot of people want to "Get away" from the whole thing and spend their thoughts and minds on something else. This is entertainment and not some sort of political theatre, I became a big fan of eSports due to the fact that there wasn't any political nonsense, unlike football where politics has gotten a big influence and a lot of clubs needs to prove their political an moral correctness....

2020-09-18 16:17

So we have to be indifferent. The fact that people are being beat by the police is good. There is no politics here, there is help

2020-09-20 00:53

I will support the initiative with 60 zloty. Respect to the people of Belarus! GG BP5!

2020-09-18 13:45

Pathetic, srsly, Lukashenko won the elections in Belarus and this imperialist attemps are trying to destroy "democracy" in this country

2020-09-18 15:48

wtf

2020-09-22 06:47

wtf what?

2020-09-28 12:52

Cool charity... People want everything to be roses but, they're trying to raise awareness and some money to support a cause. Not interested? Don't watch & don't donate. Simple...
