CS2 Show Match at 10,000 Meters: Winline Prepares a Unique Event
The World’s First In-Air Show Match
On May 14, a unique event will take place — the world’s first Counter-Strike 2 show match on board an airplane, organized by the betting company Winline. Two teams will face off at an altitude of 10,000 meters in a 5×5 format right during the flight.
Who Will Play?
The team captains will be popular streamers:
- Vyacheslav “Buster” Leontyev (4.4 million followers on Twitch)
- Vladimir “Bratishkinoff” Semyonyuk (3.4 million followers)
Other well-known streamers will join each team. Interestingly, one free spot on each team will be raffled off among viewers who placed bets through Winline.
How the Match Will Unfold
- The player meetup will start with an IRL stream from Buster — he’ll pick up Bratishkinoff and they’ll head to the airport together.
- The gaming laptops will be powered on once the plane reaches 10,000 meters altitude.
- A film crew will be on board, so the match will be available for detailed viewing later.
🛬 After the match, the plane will land in Kazakhstan — the participants are heading to the major tournament PGL Astana 2025, where global esports teams like Team Spirit, G2 Esports, Virtus.pro, Aurora Gaming, NAVI, and Astralis will compete. The prize pool of the tournament is $625,000.
