A rising star of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene has received hundreds of abusive messages after qualifying for the FACEIT Pro League. Shuaib ‘DoCc’ Ahmad, who qualified for the league yesterday, began receiving messages after the official league announcement revealed his identity.
The Netherlands-based 17-year-old is undeniably a talented player. While working his way up the FACEIT ranks, he broke the circuit record of a 19-win-streak and finished the challenger tournament with an incredible 68% win rate. He is also a controversial figure in the CS:GO community, refusing to use his microphone to communicate, making excuses to avoid speaking in-game. As his prominence grew, however, he began making calls. No one had ever seen him.

When FPL’s tweet went live last night, however, Ahmad’s face was plastered all over the internet. Insults about his appearance soon began to flood in, along with comments about immigrants, muslims, and terrorist attacks.
Ahmad has yet to respond to the abuse, but FACEIT’s response is clear - they simply won’t tolerate it.
The abuse has been condemned by Milos Nedeljkovic, project lead of the FPS circuit, who said it was one of the “worst” witch-hunts he has seen in 12 years of working in the industry.
Just to let you know that we already verified Shuaib and that FACEIT will always stand with the players, no matter what. The time will tell everything and only he has a say in his future in FPL and as a potential pro player. Shame on all of you who are doing this, really.
