PashaBiceps reached out to BLAST and PGL after Maniac was "cancelled"

Former professional CS:GO player Jarosław "pashaBiceps" Jarząbkowski has expressed his readiness to replace analyst Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez at upcoming tournaments hosted by BLAST and PGL. Both companies had previously cut ties with the caster following accusations of sexual harassment against him.

"Hello, BLAST and PGL. If you're no longer working with Maniac and are looking for a replacement, Papito is ready! But there’s one small problem: my English isn't that great. But we’ll manage somehow.

By the way, you’ll also save money on transport, as I'll be arriving at tournaments by bike. Esports is love, esports is life."

On 4th September, allegations were made against Maniac, with two women claiming the former professional player had harassed them at the afterparty following BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024.
