CS2 Esports News

Brazilian organization Sharks has reportedly sold its CS2 roster to fellow Brazilian org DENDELE, according to a Telegram source covering the tier-2 competitive scene. The move comes shortly after the team entered the top 30 of the world ranking for the first time in the organization’s three-year history — a notable milestone that apparently preceded the sale rather than followed it (source).

One key figure did not make the transition: the team’s long-standing coach, Portuguese tactician coachi, reportedly stayed behind and was not part of the deal. The rest of the roster moved to DENDELE as a unit.

Valve pushed a Counter-Strike 2 update on July 20, the most recent patch in a series of updates released throughout the month. Earlier updates were also deployed on July 16, July 15, and multiple times on July 9 and 8. Full patch note details for each update are available via the SteamDB patchnotes tracker (read more).

A third-party marketplace blog also reported that Valve dropped a significant 10 GB update that officially launched the fifth competitive season of Counter-Strike 2. The update was described as a major release, though a full breakdown of its contents was not available in the provided source (source).
