TYLOO were one of the surprises of Stage 1

The HLTV Confirmed podcast is back with another episode, wedged between Stage 1 and 2 of ESL Pro League Season 21, and with special guest Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche joining to discuss what is happening with top teams and players. The show will of course also feature the classic trio of Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill, Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda, and Zvonimir "⁠Professeur⁠" Burazin.

Today, we also welcome a new sponsor - Anthros! The chair company promises to "Fix your sit", and to go hand-in-hand with that mission, we will introduce a new segment - "Fix your s(h)it". Expect rants, complaining, and solutions on problems in the scene, team's struggling, or the state of the game.

PGL wanted to change the Prize Pool distribution. So they needed an exception from Valve. And since Invites were already sent out they needed to re-invite because of these changes. At least to my understanding

blame orgs for not wanting to go to tournaments that dont want to scam players then, now that they changed the split to favor organizations instead of the players coincidentally higher ranked orgs are interested in going. Don't blame pgl, blame blast and esl for giving franchising at home incentives for joining their tournaments

cuz...That is why Valve has stopped it now. The organisations must negotiate new agreements with their players if they want more from prize money. I think it could help in the short term that the orgs maybe find out if it's worth running cs or not, or if the players need to get paid realistically to the income the orgs get
