The retired legendary "Counter-Strike" player "pashaBiceps" recently auctioned off his most emotionally valuable game skin, the Claw (Gradient Color), for approximately PLN 76,500 (approximately RMB 144,317.25), and donated all proceeds unconditionally to Polish children's cancer charities.
This dagger means a lot to pashaBiceps. The story can be traced back to 2014 to 2015. A wealthy fan with the pseudonym "motar2k" made a large donation to the CS:GO community and gave Pasha tens of thousands of dollars in cash and several rare skins to help his soon-to-be father buy an apartment. Pasha kept the Karambit Fade as a souvenir and sold the other items. After many years, he decided to "let go" of this "priceless treasure" to support Poland's ongoing children's anti-cancer public welfare campaign.
pashaBiceps posted on the social platform: "Poland is currently conducting the largest charity operation to help young cancer warriors. More than 38 million zlotys have been raised so far. We can do more." He called on the e-sports community to unite and contribute.
The auction is an important part of the charity livestream event. The event started with a small goal of about 500,000 zlotys, and after nine days of non-stop live streaming on YouTube, it quickly evolved into a nationwide and even a rare charity event in the history of the European Internet. The event attracted many Polish celebrities, athletes, musicians and international followers, with a peak number of simultaneous viewers of more than 1.5 million.
According to the latest reports, the live broadcast has raised more than 250 million Polish zlotys (approximately 59 million euros or 68.9 million US dollars), successfully breaking the charity live broadcast fundraising record previously held by MrBeast and others. 100% of all funds go directly to the Anti-Cancer Foundation to support anti-cancer treatment for children and families, without any commission deductions.
Many netizens lamented that this "one of the most iconic daggers in the history of CS" continues its legend in the best way.
