CS2: Pray that Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) won't flare up; EPL S24 new rule prohibits players from going to the toilet.

Even when a person has to relieve themselves, they shouldn't be allowed to go to the toilet. This is a basic human right, and normal physiological reactions are not permitted. The competition will add new restrictive clauses. Will this cause psychological pressure? ESL officially announced new rules for CS2 competitions, including the map Cache replacing Overpass. This has little impact, but it's just other core content. It shows that they are strictly controlling the players' attitude towards the game. In random games, trolling, arguing, and insulting will all be punished, with bans or silences. Players will not be able to have any special privileges.

As public figures, they have an obligation to take care of their words and actions. Voice and text chat communication is allowed, but any remarks containing discrimination or hatred will be subject to disciplinary action or even fines. Team members are no exception. It sounds reasonable, and players are used to it anyway.

Perhaps because it's a publicly broadcast competition, all audio recordings, highlights, and key moments are recorded and uploaded to the platform. To prevent players from using profanity or insulting language, the penalties have been increased. Furthermore, during the competition, no player is allowed to leave their computer or the competition area, except for emergencies; even using the restroom is prohibited.

From the official perspective, taking care of one's health is essential, so pray that you don't eat the wrong food or get stressed and suddenly need to use the restroom. Previously, it was possible to stop along the way, but the new rules no longer allow it. Other team managers who need to apply for permission for their players to leave the field must report it before the match.

EPL S24, the first to implement the new rules, boasts a total prize pool of $1 million and will be held in Katowice, Poland from October 3rd to 11th. Good luck to all the players!
