    In other fucked up VRS news.
    @thunderpickco @CounterStrike you should also be ashamed of yourselves for your lack of integrity.

    Another event that quietly removed 8-10 global VRS invites and replaced them with 12 European VRS invites AFTER they had already run qualifiers in NA and SA.

    So now NA and SA teams who would have been in line for a global invite have just been completely removed from any possibility of attending the event.

    How can it be possible to make such significant changes to an event with no repurcussions?

  2. Why the fuck have Valve not yet removed this event’s status as ranked? Are you fucking kidding me? Also Why doesn’t Valve just fucking pay messioso to manage the VRS? surely them making billions, they can spare enough to make sure the VRS isn’t abused? If you don’t want to watch over the eSports scene then let someone actually capable do it us you deadbeat bums

    Unfortunately that’s one of the big reasons we have the current ESL/BLAST/PGL triopoly in tier-1 CS. Apparently no one else is willing/capable of hosting a tournament properly.

  5. I thought the new CS2 tournament VRS rules by Valve were very strict

    How is something this important not regulated or can someone explain what happened here exactly?

    Did the teams play the qualifier, qualified and afterwards the TO said they did not win a qualification after all???

  6. At the same time East Russian team just win ESL pro league Asian qualifiers to steal the spot they bootcamp somewhere in Asia and will fly back to West Russia to bootcamp for Tier 2 EU tournament that team call Hotu.
