There’s not a day without drama in the CS scene — this time, the Swedish team Metizport is in the spotlight. The organization faced a wave of criticism after posting an ironic response to a racist comment about their black coach, Ahmed “abdi” Abdi.
The beginning of the conflict
Under one of the news posts about Metizport, a user from Serbia left a provocative comment:
You decided to remind us in the very first sentence that he’s Swedish, but given his name and appearance — that’s not true.
The official Twitter account of the club replied:
Abdi was Swedish 16 years before Serbia even became a country 👍 https://t.co/4tvqbhYJFZ

Metizport’s reaction
Representatives of Metizport have not yet issued an official statement, and the tweet remains visible on the club’s page. According to analysts, this may affect the organization’s image — Metizport currently ranks #104 in the HLTV world ranking and #107 in the VRS system. Coach Abdi has been working with the club for over two years, holds a 54% win rate, and helped form the current roster featuring Plopski, isak, Jackinho, L00m1, and MaiL09.
Current status of Metizport
- Country: Sweden
- World ranking: #104

- Win rate: 54%
- Recent matches: 4 losses in a row (fnatic, FlyQuest, Nexus, Sashi), 1 win (CPH Wolves)

Context and consequences
Metizport is known for its social media activity and frequent humor, but this time, the line between sarcasm and provocation, according to part of the community, was crossed. And while fans of the team note that it was a response to a racist comment, the very fact that historical context was used in the reply triggered a wave of debate.
So far, Valve and PGL have not commented on the situation. However, similar incidents have previously affected partnership programs and team reputations in regional competitions.
