There may have been two LANs going on, but this still felt like a quiet week in the world of competitive Counter-Strike. The NA Minor seemed to be done and dusted before it even began, and if any of the teams from the CIS Minor manage to make it to the Major itself then we’ll be available to be knocked over by a feather all summer.
Outside of that, the only top-level online competition was the last week of ECS, and pretty much all the final placings were already confirmed, although the repercussions of GODSENT’s surprise victory over FaZe Clan did at least spice up the relegation battle.
And of course we’re still playing Operation Hydra, pounding through those Guardian Missions, while Valve, having shipped the operation, evidently has some time on its hands again, because this week also saw the return of the banhammer. And how!
