From 6 to 31 October 2026, SHOT held the “Knives for Friends” referral contest for the second time. The 20 best-performing participants received CS2 knives and coins, with oostakaar taking first place with 928 activated friends.
The second round of “Knives for Friends”
SHOT first ran “Knives for Friends” from 1 to 31 August 2026. Following the first round, the contest returned for a second stage from 6 to 31 October, with the final results recorded on 1 November.
How the contest worked
Participants invited friends to SHOT, but registration alone was not enough. An invited friend counted toward the result only after their first deposit or item withdrawal. The ranking was based on the number of friends activated this way.
There were 20 prize places. Participants who finished from first to fifth received CS2 knives. The winners from sixth to twentieth place shared 7 000 000 coins.
