Neymar Jr., renowned footballer and avid gamer, recently took to Instagram to express his frustration with Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) after experiencing what he believed to be a game-breaking issue.
The Controversial Play
In an Instagram story, Neymar shared a clip of a gameplay moment where he missed an AWP shot in CS2. Convinced that he had made the shot, Neymar expressed his frustration by tagging the developer account of Counter–Strike and labeling the game as “broken.” The missed shot ultimately resulted in a draw instead of a victory for his team.

Community Response
Neymar’s Instagram story sparked a flurry of reactions from the gaming community, particularly within the CS2 player base. While some sympathized with Neymar’s frustration, many were skeptical of his claim, suggesting that he simply missed the shot.
The incident prompted discussions about the reliability of hit registration in CS2 and highlighted existing concerns within the game’s community.
Challenges in Counter-Strike 2
The controversy surrounding Neymar’s play sheds light on broader issues within the CS2 community. Cheating has become a significant problem in premier matches, leading to a sense of disillusionment among players. Many streamers have even chosen to abandon the game due to these ongoing challenges.
