Ukrainian national team and English "Chelsea" winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been banned from participating in ranked Counter-Strike 2 games due to toxicity in chat. During a CS2 match with players from Poland, Mudryk reminded them of the Volyn tragedy and called them bums, UNN reports.

So, during a game on the Inferno map on Faceit - an online esports platform most often used for Counter-Strike 2, Mudryk wrote in the chat: "You are so bad," to which a player under the nickname "DLEKIAM" replied: "Go play football," and a player under the nickname "4RR0K_" added: "Brother, don't do drugs anymore."
The Polish player's response did not please the Ukrainian, to which Mudryk replied that the next game would take place on the Volyn map, adding: "You will remember Volyn forever, bum."
On social network X, "4RR0K_" claims that the players did not provoke Mudryk and his teammates during the match, and did not write anything offensive to him at all.
"We went crazy after he called us bad, and we didn't even mention Ukraine or his nationality. We didn't write anything to him or the entire opposing team, so he couldn't have been provoked. The fact that he should return to football and stop taking drugs was a response to his words: 'You are so bad,' so there can be no provocation on our part," the player says.
Eventually, after this game, Mudryk received a 28-day ban on Faceit, and also changed his nickname on the platform to "123456678."
