Autograph sessions, meet-and-greets and various interactive fan activities throughout the venue

Tickets for both LAN days are already available through the arena’s official ticketing service.

Part of a Larger BetBoom x Dinamo Ecosystem

This CS2 tournament is part of the broader BetBoom Streamers Battle x Dinamo project, which also features a Dota 2 event under the same banner. BetBoom Streamers Battle 12 x Dinamo (Dota 2) is being held at the same venue from 20–30 November 2025 and features twelve teams composed of streamers and professional players, competing for a prize pool of 4.5 million rubles.

Through these events, BetBoom continues to build a cross-game, entertainment-focused competitive ecosystem that blends the energy of esports with influencer-driven content and recurring LAN finales.

What the Captains Have Said

Shadowkek on Winning CS2 #2

Following his team’s victory in CS2 #2, Shadowkek shared a detailed message expressing gratitude to his teammates, BetBoom and fans. He described the tournament as a “long and difficult” nine-day marathon, with the team overcoming illnesses and other challenges. He highlighted that the final success was possible thanks to collective effort and strong viewer support.

Aunkere on His Heated Moment With Nix

Aunkere recently addressed a tense in-game conflict with Alexander “Nix” Levin during CS #3. He explained that such moments stem from competitive emotions and do not reflect personal relationships. He emphasized that both players remained on good terms outside the game, even spending time together shortly after the incident.

9pasha on Transitioning to Streamer Events

Although from the Dota 2 part of the project, former professional player Pavel “9pasha” Khvastunov, who is participating in the Dota 2 edition of the BetBoom event, commented on shifting from tier-one competition to streamer tournaments. He described it as a natural evolution for a player, saying that one cannot remain at their peak forever and should embrace new stages in life and competition.

Looking Ahead

Confirmed details so far include:

Eight captains selected for the event

Tournament dates: 18–28 December 2025

LAN finals: 27–28 December, Moscow

Additional activities such as a pro-player showmatch, secret guests and various fan interactions

The full team rosters and the complete competitive format are expected to be released soon. As the event approaches, existing storylines between magixx, StRoGo, shadowkek, Aunkere, zoneR, Recrent, OverDrive and CS2NEWS—who have crossed paths across multiple previous seasons—will likely shape the narrative of the first large-scale BetBoom x Dinamo CS2 LAN.
