Pashabiceps Urges Valve to Add Match Replay Feature in CS2 Premier Mode to Combat Cheating

The legendary Polish esports player Jarosław "Pashabiceps" Jarząbkowski has reached out to Valve developers via Twitter, requesting the addition of a feature in Counter-Strike 2 that allows players to watch replays of top players' matches in Premier Mode. According to Pashabiceps, this would help young and aspiring players improve their skills by observing the actions of the best.

"Everyone wants to be better, and to be better, you need to watch the best players!" Pashabiceps wrote, urging the developers to include this feature in the next game update.

What is the issue?

Pashabiceps raised a concern that has long bothered many fans of the game. In CS2’s Premier Mode, there are high-ranking leaders, but as players point out, a large number of them are using new accounts and cheats to succeed. While not all of these players are cheating, many face suspicions from the community.

Community reaction

Players have been actively commenting on Pashabiceps’ message on social media, emphasizing the importance of this issue. Many players confirm that cheating is a common problem, particularly in Premier Mode, where new accounts with suspiciously high ratings often exploit the system.

Will Valve make changes?

Pashabiceps expressed hope that Valve will take his request into consideration and add the match replay feature in Premier Mode. This addition could not only help the community improve but also serve as a step toward addressing the cheating problem, as greater transparency would make it easier to detect suspicious accounts and player actions.

Pashabiceps has strong support from the community, and there is hope that Valve will listen to his suggestions.
