HLTV Confirmed crew accompanied by YNk go in-depth on the CS:GO ecosystem: the roles of tournament organizers, Majors, teams, players, and Valve are dissected and discussed. In addition to that, the panel talks about RMR results (G2, mousesports, Astralis, Evil Geniuses) and problems (point systems, admin decisions) are discussed.
