🤔 CS2's Premier & Cheating Problem –
Look at this World's Leaderboard and you will see a guy called Rustic, not even a Tier 5 professional, with a 100% Win Rate in Premier.

A video clip widely circulated among CS2 enthusiasts shows Rustic playing alongside a partner whose gameplay smacks of cheating. The superior reflexes, precision, and tactics are telltale signs of someone gaming the system. Two highly-ranked players, sitting at #8 and #14 on the leaderboard, have also been spotted teaming up with this dubious ally. This raises an unsettling question, are elite players knowingly associating with cheaters to climb the ranks?
Rustic’s meteoric rise might just be the tip of the iceberg, indicating a broader issue within the Premier League of CS2. It’s disconcerting to think that if a non-Tier 5 professional can dominate the leaderboard through questionable means, how prevalent is this cheating menace?
The CS2 community deserves clarity. For the game to retain its esteemed position and for players to keep faith in its integrity, the game’s developers or league administrators must launch a thorough investigation. The community’s trust hinges on transparent communication and decisive action against rule-breakers.
