Valve has revealed the future CS Major locations, including the first ever major in Argentina! We dive into Counter-Strike’s global expansion and what it means for the future of the game. We also recap BLAST Premier Bounty Season 1, including FaZe’s shocking loss to EYEBALLERS, which teams impressed us the most, and the online vs LAN debate. We also recap some of the recent roster moves and call ups, including B8 replacing headtr1ck, and some South America roster moves.
In Episode 46 of All About Counter-Strike, we break down everything from the HLTV Awards fallout to the biggest storylines shaping Counter-Strike in 2026. Fresh off the HLTV Awards, we discuss why the event has become the gold standard for esports award shows, debate Donk vs ZywOo, and break down the biggest winners, snubs, and talking points from the night. We also dive deep into why CS roster mania has completely stalled — from inflated buyouts and poor ROI to why teams are afraid to make big moves. Plus, we cover Vitality’s dominance, Molodoy’s rise, Hall of Fame inductions, women’s CS milestones, and major roster changes across NiP, Fnatic, BIG, Astralis, and more.
