[VOD] First HLTV Confirmed of 2023: Previewing the season and analyzing the changes

Learn what tournament we will see the best CS at and when you should expect roster moves in the coming year.

HLTV Confirmed returns for the first time in the new year with a plethora of news and rumors to cover, including Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen taking the Analyst position in Astralis, Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin joining Outsiders, and a Brazilian AWP swap.

Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill, Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda, and Zvonimir "⁠Professeur⁠" Burazin will reunite to break down the changes as well as provide insight on the Award Show before moving on to the preview of the upcoming season.

As a new recurring segment, the panelists will take part creating a "Time Capsule", predicting what will happen in the next six months with a plan to revisit their claims during the summer break. The show will end with one viewer question that was selected as the question of the week - another update to last year's format.

The show will take place on Monday at 14:00 live on Twitch.
