As reported by IGN and DotEsports, German Counter-Strike 2 player MAUschine has been banned from the CAGGTUS Leipzig tournament for 10 years for striking his opponent, Fabian "Spidergum" Salomon, after a heated match.

Influencer Jake Lucky shared a video to X of the moment MAUschine socked Spidergum during the awards portion of the tournament: Spidergum's glasses flew off, and MAUschine moved on to shake other players' hands without missing a beat—the brass balls on this guy⁠—as the presenter quickly realized something was wrong.
