Team magixx Eliminated from BetBoom Streamers Battle 4 × Dinamo CS2 After Losing to Team Shadowkek
Team magixx, a CS2 squad led by Russian player Boris “magixx” Vorobyev, has been eliminated from the BetBoom Streamers Battle 4 × Dinamo CS2 tournament after a close defeat in the lower-bracket playoffs by Team Shadowkek on December 24, 2025. The series ended 1–2 in favor of Shadowkek, with map scores of 4:13 on Nuke, 13:5 on Dust2, and 13:11 on Mirage. As a result, Team magixx finished tied for 5th–6th place in the event, securing a ₽150,000 prize payout before exiting the competition.
BetBoom Streamers Battle 4 × Dinamo is one of the most notable content-creator and streamer CS2 events in Russia, running December 18–28, 2025 with a mix of online group play and LAN playoff stages held in Moscow. Ten teams comprised of influencers and a limited number of competitive players battle for a total prize pool of ₽5.35 million, including side event rewards such as MVP awards and a separate 1v1 “Aim” challenge.
Match Breakdown: Playoff Elimination vs Shadowkek
In the decisive lower-bracket match:
-
Nuke: Team magixx suffered a heavy loss 4–13, struggling to match Shadowkek’s pace and utility control in the early rounds.
-
Dust2: magixx bounced back, winning 13–5, showing strong adaptations, especially in mid-round decision making and coordinated site attacks.
-
Mirage: The final map was a close, high-tension battle that saw Shadowkek narrowly clinch the series 13–11, denying magixx a second chance in the bracket.
With this result, magixx’s journey in the event concluded earlier than many of their fans had hoped, especially after they had fought through group stages with mixed success.
About Team magixx and Its Roster
Team magixx is not a professional esports organization but rather a content-centric CS2 roster centered around magixx himself, a well-known competitive player and streamer. The team’s lineup at this event included a mix of personalities and semi-competitive players, assembled under the tournament’s rules requiring at least one media member and limiting the combined FACEIT ELO of players.
Boris “magixx” Vorobyev is a professional CS2 player currently signed to Team Spirit, with a history of competitive performance including winning the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 with Spirit and being part of their CS2 roster.
Recently, magixx has been involved in Team Spirit roster changes, with reports confirming that he was moved back into Spirit’s active lineup after a period on the bench — a decision the organization made following a less consistent competitive phase. In that context, magixx’s leadership role became official, with increased responsibilities including in-game leadership duties.

Performance Summary and Future Outlook
Team magixx’s performance in this edition was inconsistent: a solid victory over m3wsu in group play and a defeat to CyberDynamo showed both potential and fragility. Their ultimate playoff exit reflected both the high variance inherent in streamer-heavy tournaments and the strength of opponents like Team Shadowkek, which has shown strong results in previous streamer events.
While this result might be disappointing for fans, it underscores the diverse level of competition in media-oriented CS2 events, where traditional esports skill intersects with entertainment value. For magixx personally, balancing competitive duties with Team Spirit and content commitments remains an evolving challenge.
