The Times of India says he sold the skin for over $21,000 and that he “sold one of the most famous knife skins in Counter-Strike for over $21,000,” then “decided to donate all of it to a children’s cancer charity in Poland.”

Dexerto reports the sale was “for over $21,100” and that pashaBiceps “donated the full amount to a children’s cancer charity in Poland,” with the Polish foundation named as Cancer Fighters.

TalkEsport similarly states the knife skin sold for “over $21,100 USD” and that “he has donated every single penny to charity,” while Skin.Club frames the fundraising as “76,500 PLN” raised for the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

Across the coverage, the money is tied to the Cancer Fighters foundation, described as “a children’s cancer charity in Poland” by multiple outlets.

The Times of India adds that pashaBiceps confirmed “every dollar went directly to the Cancer Fighters foundation,” while Dexerto says he revealed the sale on X and confirmed “every penny from the auction was sent to Cancer Fighters.”

Several outlets connect the donation to a broader Polish charity livestream effort for Cancer Fighters, describing how the knife sale fed into an ongoing fundraising push.

The Times of India says the money went to the Cancer Fighters foundation, “which is supported through a large ongoing Poland charity streaming event,” and it reports that “the two highest bidders” were thanked for making the final purchase possible.

Dexerto similarly states that pashaBiceps’ charity stream was “part of a wider effort by Polish streamers to raise money for Cancer Fighters,” and it adds a specific figure for Łatwogang’s stream, saying “Łatwogang’s record-breaking stream reaching $70 million raised.”

TalkEsport provides a detailed timeline and scale for the livestream, saying it was “part of Łatwogang’s nine-day nonstop charity livestream, launched on April 17, 2026,” with an “initial goal of 500,000 złoty.”

TalkEsport further reports that “By the time the charity stream ended, over 250 million złoty, which equates to roughly $69 million USD, had been raised, with more than 1.6 million peak concurrent viewers,” and it says the effort “shattered the previous Guinness World Record for charity fundraising during a live broadcast” set in France in 2025 at “$19.5 million USD.”

In the middle of that wider campaign, pashaBiceps’ message on X urged continued giving while the stream was still live.

The reports emphasize that the donated item was not just any skin, but a historically significant Karambit associated with pashaBiceps and earlier community donors.

TalkEsport identifies the specific item as “the iconic Factory NewKarambit Fade,” and it says pashaBiceps “listed his in-game knife skin” and “managed to sell it for PLN 76500.”

Skin.Club describes the auction item as “a Karambit | Gradient” and says it had “unique naming and a special history within the Polish scene,” while The Times of India calls it “one of the most iconic items in Counter-Strike history.”

Dexerto adds that the knife was “one of Counter-Strike’s most iconic knife skins” and that pashaBiceps’ recognition stems from his time with Virtus.pro and “his role in the legendary Polish lineup that won EMS One Katowice in 2014.”

The Times of India also provides a backstory for the knife’s meaning to pashaBiceps, saying it was “originally gifted to him in 2015 by a famous supporter known for huge donations in early Counter-Strike streaming days.”

Dexerto names that donor as “motar2k,” stating the skin was “first given to pasha from “motar2k”, a generous donator, back in 2015,” and it adds a quoted moment from the earlier donation history: “motar2k donated $15,000 to pasha, bringing him to tears.”

The coverage also records how other esports figures and the wider community reacted to the donation and the way pashaBiceps framed it.

Dexerto reports that the “new owner is the CEO of esports org Team Nemesis,” and it quotes the CEO praising pashaBiceps as “a living legend.”

In the same report, Dexerto includes pashaBiceps’ own message thanking people involved in the fundraiser, including the two highest bidders, and it quotes him: “The most iconic knife in CS just became even more special. Huge thanks to everyone for getting involved in this initiative and special thanks to @nmss_gg and @i_am_a_momo who made the highest offer and transferred the funds to the foundation right away.”

TalkEsport repeats the same quoted message and adds that pashaBiceps urged “the esports community to do their part for the cause,” while also quoting him again on the stream’s continuation: “The stream is still live for over an hour, so let’s keep the momentum going and continue donating. Let’s show that the esports family has real power!”

Skin.Club describes immediate reaction on X, saying “Fans and scene figures flooded the comments with praise for pashaBiceps and the initiative,” and it includes example comments such as “absolute legend” and “ESPORT UNITES!”

The reports also connect the act to pashaBiceps’ broader public persona after retirement, with Skin.Club stating he “continues to be one of the most influential personalities in Counter-Strike” and that he remains involved through “Charity work, motivational appearances, support for younger players, and constant interaction with fans.”

While all the outlets describe the same core event—pashaBiceps selling an iconic Counter-Strike knife skin and donating the proceeds to Cancer Fighters in Poland—the reporting diverges on specific figures and even the exact knife naming.

The Times of India says the knife was “sold for more than $21,100” and that “every dollar went directly to the Cancer Fighters foundation,” while Dexerto says the sale was “for over $21,100” and that pashaBiceps “donated the full amount” after revealing it on X.

TalkEsport states the knife was sold for “over $21,100 USD” and that pashaBiceps “managed to sell it for PLN 76500,” but Skin.Club frames the fundraising as “76,500 PLN” raised for the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

The item naming differs: TalkEsport calls it “the iconic Factory NewKarambit Fade,” while Skin.Club says the auction item was “a Karambit | Gradient.”

Even within the same story, TalkEsport ties the fundraiser to Łatwogang’s “nine-day nonstop charity livestream” launched on “April 17, 2026,” while Dexerto describes Łatwogang’s stream as reaching “$70 million raised.”

TalkEsport also reports that the charity stream “shattered the previous Guinness World Record” set in France in 2025 at “$19.5 million USD,” while Dexerto does not mention the Guinness comparison.
