Top Counter-Strike news by Pley.gg? With the advent of the pandemic of coronavirus, athletics have now another feature where the sporting industry maintains: widespread suspension of live activities and all the resulting destruction.

However, they beat mousesports, Heroic, G2, Natus Vincere and Spirit to advance into the finals. Even after achieving a near impossible feat of victories, they were not the favorites to win the competition. They defeated VP in a 3-1 best of five battle for the title.
