This is the second lore vignette from Season 1. It was introduced after Update 1.9.0 on February 21st, 2024. Similar to S01 Lore Vignette 1, the video is a recording of a conversation between Scotty and June after a match has ended. This time, the hacking group CNS is directly referenced in the dialouge.
Transcript
Scotty: "When the coins get tough, the Tough Shells get coins. What a win! On behalf of our sponsors, thanks for tuning in."
"Aaand that's a wrap"
June: "Another broadcast, and another message from CNS."
Scotty: "They're starting to draw attention away from the contestants."
June: "Hmm, the messages tend to appear at the big matches. It's certainly not random."
Scotty: "I mean, I guess it could be a publicity stunt?"
June: "That could explain why VOLPE's tech hasn't blocked them. But, what if it's not a stunt?"
Scotty: "All I know is that whatever 'CNS' even is, it can't outsmart THE FINALS."
June: "True enough. And if CNS wanted to earn real fame, they'd need to compete. Just like you, Scotty."
