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.
