I wanted to bring up a topic that’s been circulating in the esports community recently. It has come to light that both BLAST and PGL, two major tournament organizers, have decided to part ways with CS
analyst and commentator Mathieu “Maniac” Quiquerez. This follows serious sexual assault allegations that have surfaced.
While the full details are still emerging, these allegations have prompted both BLAST and PGL to announce that they will no longer be working with Maniac in any official capacity moving forward. It’s a significant move, given Maniac’s longstanding presence in the CS
scene as a trusted analyst and voice for many years.
