At first, I felt bad for BESTIA. The team qualifies for the Austin Major but can't participate because of visa issues and BLAST not giving them an extension like PGL did for 9 Pandas (according to hltv's article about this situation, BESTIA might've lied about some of the statements they've made, which I'm not sure about, but that's beside the point).
After seeing BESTIA's players, Founder/CEO (Papo MC, who's the most pathetic of them all. I can't believe this guy's a CEO), and their fanbase harass Legacy and their players (who have nothing to do with what's happened to BESTIA) because they misinterpreted/overreacted to a statement Dumau made in his interview with Dust2 about Legacy replacing BESTIA at the major (which is where the hate started) and because Legacy aren't supporting them after they've harassed Legacy and their players (which they're still doing), I don't care what's happened to them.
They don't deserve to play at the Austin Major with the way they're acting.

irrc, doesn’t valve help with visa issues? especially when its in the US, as an US company?
That’s Argentinians 101
True colours come out when money is at play.
talk about soft lmfao. sure its pretty harsh to say they wouldve won 9/10 times but hey, thats part of competition. if thats how he feels, thats how he feels. of course he is gonna do an interview. why does he have to cater to you? youre the people that made a mistake in getting your visas on time. challenge them to a friendly or something shit, hash it out in the server. make some wild remarks back. but to cry and cry sucks.
I think it’s somewhat understandable (still not great) from the players. They’re kids who have done nothing but play cs their entire lives and are now having their dreams stripped from them and they just have to watch. Twitter makes it too easy for them to be vocal while so emotional.
The CEO though…
I understood the frustration at the start. If my favorite team missed out on a major because of visas, I’d be a little upset, too. But, there’s deadlines for a reason. You can’t bend over backward for every team, big or small. It sucks that a team that represents Argentina gets to miss out on doing it at a major for the first time, but at least it was Legacy replacing them and not BLUEJAYS or whatever team from EU would be next in line.
Emotions are high, stress of having things outside of their control crush your dreams, mixed in with Blast most likely giving them the silent radio treatment, and Dumau and Legacy, intentionally or not, threw more wood on the fire. Made the perfect storm that could explain lashing out like that.
But the facts are that they already have their visas approved and have sent Blast proof of it, with almost two weeks away before the Major starts. And they have won their qualification fair and square.
Saying they don’t deserve to play the major is nonsense.
The CEO or the org saw all the money and forgot any decency they have left in their body, along with their accountability when in fact it’s them that’s to blame for the players missing out on the major. Absolute crybaby who let down the players.
Who cared about random reddit bozos opinion on whether they deserve to play in the major or not
legacy the NA team? living in NA it’s not legacy fault ofcourse but bestia is upset they’re angry it’s not a big org with money
>Argentinian team
I prefer not to speak
Bro just because he isnt at Ducati anymore doesnt mean you should stop supporting him
While I personally sympathize with the players, I must point out that the management team, including the CEO, made a grave mistake.
By acting recklessly on social media, they completely cut off communication with BLAST. There’s no doubt that this team’s management turned even the slimmest 1% hope into absolute zero.
Argentinian fanbases harass innocent third parties for events beyond their control? Surely not.
Pretty misguided to blame Legacy for this. I don’t think they have the right to blame Blast, but it would make more sense in this situation.
Love me some good CS-related drama🍿
Bestia could’ve handled it way better and chose the opposite.
