The digital arena saw some real fireworks this past Thursday. Two major esports teams, 2Game Esports and BESTIA, went head-to-head. They were battling it out in the CCT Season 3 South America Series 1, a big Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) competition. Things got heated, leading to a massive 60-round game and some surprising behavior.
The first map was Dust2. It turned into an epic marathon, with 2Game Esports from Brazil finally winning 31-29. Early on, during this intense match, Martín “tomaszin” Corna, a player for Argentina’s BESTIA, won a key round. He then flashed a middle finger at the camera. What he didn’t know was that his team would have to play six overtime periods in a row, only to lose the game. You can see the moment here:

The drama didn’t stop there. The second match took place on Mirage. BESTIA started strong, grabbing a 9-1 lead. But 2Game Esports staged an incredible comeback, winning 13-11. This victory secured them the first CCT trophy. It was a complete turnaround after their tough start.
This win meant big money for 2Game Esports. They walked away with $10,000, which was half of the total $20,000 prize pool. It’s a significant amount in the world of professional gaming. The team’s next competition schedule is still up in the air.
