Don't believe it is the offseason for CounterStrike league play just yet.
I think FaZe Clan was playing earlier today and I didn't know they were currently having tournaments a week or so before they go for their break for two weeks to bring in the New Years.
It might not look like it, but they should be entering the offseason even if it's only for a month or so since the Major just ended and it's the best time for teams to make changes before Katowice next January.
The CS2 scene barely gets any off time because of the constant tournaments being held every month between Blast, ESL and PGL unlike the other esports scene where they have longer breaks before the next tournament kicks off.
I found a chance to watch the Grand Final series in Shanghai Major thankfully and I loved especially the last map.
Both teams did literally everything they could in the final rounds. Round 23 was legendary though and I believe it was one of the bests in CS e-sports history. FaZe showed a good resistance but sh1ro still clutched it in the last round to become the champion.
The retake by FaZe in round 23 was crazy, that should've been Team Spirit's round and somehow Ropz and Rain pulled it back. It was unfortunate that it didn't go into overtime as broky was caught off guard from the smoke gap.
