Representatives of the Russian hockey club «Tractor» announced that they will take part in a CS:GO showmatch on April 13. The game will be broadcast by RuHub studio. The team, which includes five players from «Traktor», will face the Russian national hockey team, including representatives from «SKA», «CSKA», «Metallurg» and «Washington Capitals».
Such matches have been held frequently recently. For example, Russian soccer players recently defeated a Ukrainian squad in CS:GO, and several famous European soccer players, including Neymar, played a showdown with a FURIA team. Russian player Fedor Smolov, who took part in one of these matches, attributed their popularity to the crisis caused by the coronavirus. According to him, it's more profitable to invest in skins now than to spend money on anything else. It is known that he himself possesses very expensive equipment, including a rare skin for a sniper rifle «Dragon Story».
By participating in such matches, sports stars not only draw attention to their own person and entertain the public, but also raise money for charity. For example, a charity CS:GO tournament called We Strike Corona is planned for mid-April. It will be attended by famous soccer players from different countries.
