Evelone Spends $150,000 on CS2 Cases, Gets Only $7,000 in Drops

Popular streamer Evelone has once again surprised fans—this time by opening over 400 cases and capsules in Counter-Strike 2, spending more than $150,000. However, the outcome was shockingly unprofitable: the total drop was worth less than $7,100, with the most expensive item being a Clan-Mystik | Katowice 2014 sticker valued at around $833.

A Sad Outcome — $7,050 for $150,000
By the end of the opening, Evelone earned only about $7,050. The most valuable drop was the Clan-Mystik | Katowice 2014 sticker—a collector's item, but worth "only" ~$833. This is not even 5% of the amount spent.

The total expenses—over $150,000—include not only the price of the cases and capsules but also the keys for them. The cost of some cases on the Steam marketplace reaches hundreds of dollars, especially when it comes to older tournaments like EMS One Katowice 2014.

Despite the colossal losses, Evelone gained what mattered most—attention. However, it also served as a reminder: case opening is not an investment, but entertainment with a high risk factor. Evelone's situation may influence the perception of case openings in the CS2 community, especially among the youth. The more examples like this, the louder the main takeaway: in this lottery, the player almost never wins.
