Counter-Strike case opening has become a sport in itself. Multiple streamers and players open cases to get their hands on rare collectible skins. Furthermore, many ambitious CS:GO players also spend their money to buy cases to open. However, no one does it on the level of OhnePixel.
This German CS:GO skin collector has shown interest in collecting expensive skins like case-hardened blue knives and other rare designs. His biggest spectacle to date would be the $120k worth of case opening live on Twitch. Although he did not get the full return on his money in-game, he gained something else while doing so.

OhnePixel recently live-streamed the most expensive CS:GO case opening ever with around $120K worth of cases. However, the streamer got the poorest return on investment ever recorded. He opened multiple cases from the budget he had, but he only managed to get $5,000 back in return. This poor performance has raised some questions from the fans on the drops offered by CSGO.

Multiple critics are trying to say this stream was a failure for skin collectors. However, OhnePixel had about 235,000 viewers watching him open cases, which is an achievement in itself.
Furthermore, the money he used to open the cases was entirely from a donation made by a fan. He had got a $120K donation meaning he had invested a little of his own money for this stream, as Twitch takes a share from the donation given.

The CSGO skin collector also got a sponsor for this stream, implying the money he spent from his pocket also came back to him. He gained about 29k new subscriptions from this stream alone. All these revelations have switched the opinions of the fans. The fans are now applauding the brilliance of conducting a stream shown by OhnePixel.

However, some fans have shown critical reception towards the manner of the stream, calling it outright gambling. They are accusing it to be what Kick is trying to promote.
This is promoting gambling. No different than Stake
