Braxton “swag” Pierce is a North American Counter-Strike legend. He’s skilled, he’s young and he commands an aura of adoration from NA CS fans everywhere. The trouble is, he’s banned indefinitely from participating Valve events.
But theScore esports’ Colin McNeil thinks that, ban or no ban, he’s a smart pickup for any team that isn’t already dominating the competitive landscape. He says it’s not just about what swag can do in the server, but the kind of brand power and fandom he can bring outside of it.
What do you think?

swag has as much as a personality as my blow up doll
u do realise ur just over hyping, the over hype that already exists. insane player, no doubt, but what ur saying is absurd.
Free swag
In critical ops there is or was the same team
They were SetToDestroyX?
I like swag and I hoje they unban him but his performance recently his low , maybe because he cant really focus by the fact he is banned
Wtfff he can easily be as good as simple! Imagine him in a good team!put swag in the place of adren in faze clan and just imagine
Why banning flusha would be the right move.
Free swag!!!
? call the cops goddamnit ?

Damn dude… got that 70's porn stash going huh? That's a risky one for SJW types bro… you look like you might lure kids into a van with candy… oh shit, that's right, SJW's are all about that life.

Suck a good video keep up with the vids and this vid honestly just made me want to play Age of Mythology (such good memories with that game) and i think that unbanning brax would mean such a good thing. Like you said maybe he isnt as good as s1mple or an Astralis stopper but i think there would be more competition than now where Astralis win litterly every major.
EUnited probably gonna ruin him again

Pretty ? video
?
Still doesn’t make sense to me people who cheat on lans or tournaments get like 3-5 year bans from valve tournaments and people who throw matches get life bans OK VALVE
i thought he was unbanned
2:27 * EVERYONE DISLIKED THAT *
guess what "VALVE DOESN'T CARE!"
#freeswag :}
Wholesome. #freeswag
Yet they lost their first match winning only 6 rounds on 2 maps…
I don’t get why they won’t unban them… it’s been years.
#freebrax
Yea.. Just lost to team liquid
