CS2 content creator RyderDie announces "Defuse the Stigma" $5,000 charity tournament

All donations on stream will go directly to Mental Health America.

RyderDie, a CS2 content creator who focuses on educational videos, is organizing an NA-only charity event called Defuse the Stigma, which is set to run in May.

The charity event will feature a $5,000 prizepool, VRS status, and is set to support Mental Health America (MHA). Defuse the Stigma will be broadcast on RyderDie's Twitch and YouTube channels.

The open qualifier, which kicks off on May 23rd, will welcome up to 256 teams, and the top eight will advance to Defuse the Stigma's main event.

The winner will take home $4,000 and the runners-up will earn $1,000. On top of the money, Defuse the Stigma will also distribute 100,000 FACEIT points.

The playoffs begin on May 30th, and all matches will be best-of-three series, except for the grand finals, which will be a best-of-five series.

Defuse the Stigma encourages teams of all levels to sign up for the open qualifier, which can be done here, while donations to Mental Health America can be made here.
