HLTV Confirmed: Gamechanger special | Can we shorten maps (MR12), change pistols, & fix CS economy?

In a special episode of the HLTV Confirmed podcast, we delve deep into the current CS:GO competitive format, examine its potential flaws and explore solutions for issues such as map length, the coin-flip nature of pistol rounds, and the comeback mechanic within the new economy. SPUNJ presents his ideas on overtime, while Rejin chips in with mouz's experience with the latest changes.

HLTV Confirmed: Gamechanger is the first of a series of in-depth shows focused on theorycrafting and further improving CS:GO.
