The Day CSGO Changed Forever

In February 2020 esports events were changed forever by the ruthless COVID pandemic, which put the world on pause. This documentary covers the heartbreaking moments, as well as the continued unity of the CSGO community, first seen at IEM Katowice 2020 where s1mple and NAVI had to compete in silence at the beginning of CSGO's online era.
Michal “CARMAC” Blicharz of ESL describes devastating scenes of Counter Strike fans, who had travelled from all over the globe to watch their favourite teams such as Mousesports, Faze Clan, Team Liquid, Astralis and NAVI, battle it out in the Counter-Strike tournament, only not to be allowed into the Spodek Area thanks to Covid-19.

What was the worst part of the online era?

[@adityaadmane317]

The breaking down of Astralis ❤️!!! Was the worst part about hte pandemic 😢😢. If the pandemic wouldn't have come then we would surely have seen the greatest team rise back to the top again❤️😟😟

[@nikowastaken]

No views? Sadge

[@aandersson650]

Fnatic core of jw flusha krimz breaking apart, and i miss golden and feel bad for brollan and krimz

[@Himanshusingh-sj1ie]

Breaking of Astralis

[@kapilsharmaWorld_uncensored]

The fall of Fntic. Golden was truly golden and fell sharp during online.

[@caged3249]

If theScore made a video with this title it would just be about the Coldzera 4k or some other highlight. Love seeing Dexerto make content about genuinely pivotal moments

[@Bacondeluxe]

Amazing! Stayed up till 5am to see faze win. Had work at 7am. It was worth it.

[@DEXERTOCSGO]

[@IM4fLEX]

Good guy this fellow Carmac.

[@KrakenKNG]

Crazy

[@tbgjellan]

I was at that kato event....😪

[@m4a1snerfed]

m4a1s is overpowered and csgo devs don't care about balance therefore it's a waste of time to play csgo

[@KillYourInnerLoser]

"Ruthless pandemic" Nah, ruthless government authoritarianism more like.
