Update brings all-new Major hub and Pick'Ems

The team and player stickers will come to the Copenhagen Major hub soon.

Valve has released a Counter-Strike update bringing with it a revamped hub for the Copenhagen Major. There, players can find the revamped Pick'Em challenge, viewers pass, souvenirs and, when they get shipped, the team and player stickers — 50% of the proceeds of which go to the players and organizations.

The active viewer's pass will once again allow players to upgrade their Major coin and earn extra souvenir packages along the way. In the past, it was necessary to play the Pick'Em challenge, but this time around the Pick'Em is free, although players will not earn rewards from each event stage. All players need is to have Prime status to start placing their picks.

The changelog is:

[COPENHAGEN 2024 MAJOR]

- The Copenhagen Major Hub is now available. Visit the hub to purchase tournament items, play the Pick'Em Challenge and more.

- Purchase a Copenhagen 2024 Viewer Pass to receive an upgradable Copenhagen 2024 Coin. With an active pass, you can upgrade your coin and earn extra souvenir packages by playing the Pick'Em Challenge. Additionally, you will show up on the Active Pass Leaderboard where you can compare your Pick'Em Challenge performance to your friends.

- All players with Prime status can place Pick'Em picks for free! However, to complete challenges and earn rewards from an event stage, you will have to activate a Viewer Pass before that stage begins.

[GAMEPLAY]

- Adjusted molotov fire to address a case where a player who could see through fire could not be seen by their opponent.

Rules wasn't changed, problem is nobody care about them in the past until we reached a point those were drawings instead than signatures, so Volvo reminded players they would enforce rules that ask for a signature not a drawing over it.

afaik valve is a company of around 300 people with no traditional hierarchy, all employees are free to move between projects. it’s the same employees doing most of the stuff. obv game design and coding are different, but i think they are skilled in many fields :) tbh valve just should license someone’s AC, like faceits or easy ac. instant solution

Bro it's been like a decade since they stopped with the 'free movement' thing. But you're right, that used to be how their devs moved between projects.

As far as I can remember, it was Valve themselves mentioning it. It was originally 'leaked' through their own employee handbook. It probably has something to do with them having long periods of not actually developing games, but still needing to update their current ones.. so they have static teams of people providing something like CSGO updates and CS2, and Dota2, and a much smaller amount of people working on other things like TF2. Considering rumours that they might actively be developing several games at the moment, it could be likely that they would be using the 'free movement' in that department. It's a bit more complex when you're working with old spaghetti code.

No one at Valve is crying, and I'm happy for them. I've spent 4000+ hours on CS alone, more like 5000+ on all Valve games. No other game comes close to those numbers, and while I've paid 40-60 € for many games I've played for max of 200 hours or so, CS has cost me 15 € once. AND I get 0,50 € minimum back in cases/skins by just playing CS weekly. AND I enjoy watching professional matches every 2 weeks or so, that are only possible due to Valve's work towards CS. I really don't get why people are so fucking salty towards Valve. They deserve the money, they deserve to win.

You also don't need a key for those cases but chance of getting a grey are really high (unlike cases where lowest tier is blue). Make sure to check skins first and not take a random map. Mirage probably will have the Desert Hydra AWP again. Ancient the Red M4A1-S with the snake on it etc. Teams also matter because the souvenir gun will have 4 stickers (most likely, maybe 5 because of the sticker change). 1 sticker = map sticker 1 sticker = organizer sticker (for example PGL) 2 stickers = both team stickers Something like NAVI + Faze will be cooler than a SAW/Ecstatic.
