Access to the beta of Counter-Strike 2 is highly sought after. Besides Twitch streamers like shooter ace Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, only a few players selected by the developers have made it into the beta. One of these chosen ones confided in the streamer, and Shroud found just the right words – or maybe not.
How did the situation come about? Shortly after the match began, one of the players Shroud was in a lobby with revealed that his wife had left him.
The streamer asked what had happened, and suddenly everything spilled out from the teammate:
I have a one-year-old daughter, my wife just decided to leave me for her ex. She decided that she loves him more and ran off.
Shroud asks in shock if the wife took all of the player’s things. He clarifies: He told her to get her stuff, and she did.
The Twitch streamer obviously did not expect the conversation to go this way: It was just too real, too quickly.
The teammate explains further: The worst part is that his wife didn’t give him a real reason. If he had at least done something wrong, he could understand it better than this. However, he wants to rise above the matter, not badmouth his wife.
The other players tried to express support for their comrade: Without her, he would be better off.
Shroud, however, goes quiet, seems to think for a moment. Then he finds the perfect words for the serious situation: “Well, hey, at least you still have the CS2 beta!”

How did the teammate react? He took it with humor: He feels like he got a golden ticket from Willy Wonka, like in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” He even shared on Facebook that he got access.
