PashaBiceps sells Karambit for $21,100, donates to charity

Former Virtus.pro player Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski sold his Factory New Karambit Fade for PLN 76,500 (about $21,100) during Łatwogang’s nine-day charity livestream and donated the entire sum to a Polish children’s cancer charity.

Jarząbkowski confirmed on X that he received PLN 76,500 and transferred every zloty to the charity, keeping nothing for himself. He wrote: “The most iconic knife in CS just became even more special.” He also urged viewers to continue donating while the stream was live: “The stream is still live for over an hour, so let’s keep the momentum going and continue donating. Let’s show that the esports family has real power!”

The fundraiser began on April 17, 2026, with an initial target of 500,000 złoty, which organizers reported was reached almost immediately. When the nine-day broadcast concluded, organizers reported more than 250 million złoty raised (roughly $69 million) and a peak of more than 1.6 million concurrent viewers. Organizers said the total surpassed the previous Guinness World Record for charity fundraising during a live broadcast, which stood at $19.5 million.

The Karambit Fade is one of the most sought-after cosmetic items in Counter-Strike, and the Factory New condition increases its rarity. Fans and fellow players reacted on social platforms, praising Jarząbkowski for selling the item and donating the proceeds. Jarząbkowski rose to prominence during Virtus.pro’s successful run in the CS:GO era, and the knife had become closely associated with his public image.

Organizers reported that Jarząbkowski’s donation was among many contributions that pushed the campaign well beyond its original goal and helped fund pediatric cancer care in Poland.
