After a huge backlash from the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> community, Valve has decided to listen to the criticism and release the dates of 2020 and 2021 Majors.<\/p>\n

The company came in for heavy criticism a few months back when it announced the StarLadder Major would take place right after the end of the summer break – a move that was not well received by CS:GO professional players. <\/p>\n

Soon after the announcement, a small protest broke out, which soon evolved into a riot, including pro players and the wider CS: GO community, who collectively expressed their dissatisfaction with Valve’s decisions.<\/p>\n

The so-called riot ended up evolving in a fully fledged scandal that took the global esports scene by storm. Even the Counter-Strike Professional Players’ Association (CSPPA) joined in, asking Valve to address the issue in hopes of receiving a direct reply.<\/p>\n

Valve has failed to do anything about the announced dates of StarLadder Major; however, the firm has taken note of the broader issue by bringing forward the dates of upcoming Majors in a bid to satisfy the demands of players and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n
