Virtus.pro Lose to Nemiga Gaming and Exit CCT Season 3 European Series #13

Virtus.pro have ended their run at CCT Season 3 European Series #13 in CS2 after losing to Nemiga Gaming in the Round of 16 playoffs. The match finished 0–2, with the first map awarded as a technical loss to Virtus.pro.

According to tournament organizers, the technical defeat was issued because two Virtus.pro players did not have webcam footage available during the broadcast. Under CCT regulations, all participants are required to play with cameras enabled, and the tournament administration made no exception, awarding the first map to Nemiga by default.

Perfecto commented on the situation in his Telegram channel, calling it a “circus.” According to sources, all Virtus.pro players did have webcams, but they were unable to connect to the broadcast system due to a technical issue on the tournament operator’s website related to provider problems. Despite this, the referees upheld their original decision.

After the technical loss, the series continued on Dust2, where Nemiga Gaming secured the win and advanced to the next round of the tournament.

Virtus.pro entered the event directly at the playoff stage, meaning a single loss resulted in elimination. As a result, the team finished in 9th–16th place and received no prize money.
