With Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill returning from Australia, Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda from Denmark, and Zvonimir "⁠Professeur⁠" Burazin from Mongolia, the HLTV Confirmed trio is back together to break down the news from the world of Counter-Strike.

"Mouz running out of cheese" I think they have progressed, some close games against vitality. It's just that falcons have became at the same level as vitality
