Fair CS.
Community run.
No paid way out.
We got tired of platforms where the rules quietly bend for whoever donates or knows an admin. So we're building one that doesn't — run by the people who actually play on it, and honest about being early.
Not everyone gets in.
Four boxes to tick before you can queue. They exist because we want clean servers, and they are the same for everyone — there are no exceptions, and we will not make one.
No active VAC bans
Checked against Steam when you join. An active VAC ban on the account is a no.
Steam account at least a year old
Your Steam profile has to be public for us to read its age.
No active FACEIT bans
A live FACEIT cheating ban carries over here.
At least 300 hours in CS2
CS:GO hours count. Your Steam game details have to be public for us to see them.
If you do not agree with these, simply do not play. There will be no adjustments.
Two layers, plus people.
Automated checks catch most of it. The rest is why we still read reports and watch demos ourselves.
Our own PC check
A client that confirms the protections your machine should already have are switched on, and that nothing blacklisted is running alongside the game. It never injects into CS2.
CS2AC, as a partner
We run a custom build of CS2AC by karola3vax directly on our servers — not a public copy, and tuned with him.
Admins who actually watch
Reports get read and demos get reviewed by hand, for cheaters who slipped past the automated checks and for players abusing exploits.
Toxicity is not allowed — but we know the difference between toxicity and competitiveness or trash talk. We played CS:GO. You can trust us to enforce that fairly.
Cheaters don't get to hide behind noise.
Everyone's played somewhere the wrong person gets protected because they donate or know an admin. We don't want that here.
Kerovski gets eyes on cases
Trusted community people help spot the players everyone whispers about — with evidence attached, not drama.
Money never saves anyone
No donor, friend, admin or known name buys their way around a ban or a review.
Receipts over rumors
Clips, demos, logs, screenshots. The system cares about proof, not popularity.
Same rules for our own
Staff and friends included. Nobody gets a private lane around the process.
If someone is dirty, the community can help prove it. If someone is innocent, they shouldn't get buried by a witch hunt. Either way — nobody pays, begs, or name-drops their way around the process.
If Karasu grows, you should feel it.
The plan is events worth showing up for and tournaments once there are enough of us to fill them — open to everyone who plays here, on merit.
Play on KarasuJoin the DiscordAnyone can shape it
Bug reports, criticism and suggestions in tickets steer what we fix next. You do not have to give us anything to be heard.
Events when we can afford them
Cups, themed nights, creator matches and tournaments worth showing up for.
Community first, not investor first
The goal is something our scene is proud to queue on — not to squeeze players.
Free skins, EU servers, and an open beta.
A completely free skin selector — pick whatever you want to play with on Karasu servers. We are EU-only for now and will expand if there is demand.
Thank you to the “testers” who helped us tune the anti-cheat, and to the regulars who kept reporting bugs. It is still early: we are watching closely and we want your bug reports and criticism in tickets.
Welcome to KarasuCS Open Beta.
Straight answers, no sales pitch.
Help us build it right.
It's early, it's small, and it's still ours to shape. Come and play while that's still true.
