Round 2 of the Swiss stage took an unexpected turn this week, keeping esports fans on the edge of their seats. The highly anticipated showdown between fan-favorites Hotu and Gaimin Gladiators was shaken up when Hotu forfeited the first map. The second map, Vertigo, saw Hotu bringing in a stand-in, Abiraju, while Gaimin Gladiators also adapted with “bro” filling in. Both teams displayed resilience, despite the sudden changes to their lineups.

In an even bigger twist, Sashi opted to forfeit entirely, handing Amkal an automatic win and raising questions about future matchups in this intense CS2 competition. With round 3 starting on November 3, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next in this dynamic gaming landscape.
