pashabiceps Donates Iconic Karambit | Fade to Cancer Charity – Raises $21,000
Some skins are just skins. And then there is the Karambit | Fade “motar2k” – a knife that has been part of CS history for over a decade, passed from one legendary figure to another, and now turned into something even more meaningful. In April 2026, Jarosław “pashabiceps” Jarząbkowski auctioned this iconic knife to raise funds for Fundacja Cancer – Poland’s biggest charity supporting young cancer patients. The result? 76,500 PLN (approximately $21,000) – transferred directly to the foundation.
The Knife Behind the Story
In 2014, a wealthy CS:GO community figure known as motar2k became famous for making enormous donations to streamers. During the golden era of CS:GO streaming, motar2k gifted valuable skins to content creators and pros as acts of pure generosity – no strings attached. One of his most memorable gifts was a Karambit | Fade presented to pashabiceps, then one of the most beloved and entertaining personalities in all of Counter-Strike.
The knife stayed in pashabiceps’ collection for over a decade – through the peak of Virtus.pro, through the transition from CS:GO to CS2, through everything. In his own words: “For me? Priceless. So many memories, so many beautiful moments on my esports road.”
It was never just a skin. It was a piece of CS history.
The Auction
When Polish charity action Łatwogang – driven by musicians Bedoes 2115 and the Łatwogang crew – began raising funds for Fundacja Cancer, pashabiceps decided to contribute something truly special rather than just a financial donation.
He announced the auction on X with a simple message to the esports community:
“Listen, my friends – this is very important.”
The rules were straightforward. Starting price $5,000. Offers in the comments or DMs. The highest bidder by 1 PM the following day would win the knife, with all funds going directly through official charity channels.
The response from the community was immediate. Within hours the post had gathered attention from across the CS2 and esports world – proving that the knife’s legendary status was as strong in 2026 as it was in 2014.
The Result
The winning bid came from @nmss_gg and @i_am_a_momo – the CEO and esports organization behind the offer. They transferred 76,500 PLN (approximately $21,000) – directly to Fundacja Cancer without hesitation.
pashabiceps announced the result with the same energy he brought to every highlight of his career:
“The most iconic knife in CS just became even more special.”
At the time of the auction, the Łatwogang charity stream had already raised over 38 million PLN for young cancer patients in Poland. The CS2 community’s contribution added another chapter to that story.
Why This Matters
This is not just a story about a skin. It is a story about what a community can do when it chooses to.
A knife gifted by a generous fan in 2014 – kept for over a decade by one of CS history’s most beloved figures – sold in 2026 to raise $21,000 for children fighting cancer. Every layer of that story is built on generosity. motar2k gave the knife freely. pashabiceps held onto it for years and gave it up for something greater.
The esports family showed the world it has real power.
