Games and bugs go hand in hand and CS: GO is no exception. Most bugs are minor and easily escapable, but some can cause serious trouble for players and coaches, even at competitive level. In the Pro League, professional player Finn ‘Karrigon’ Anderson said that his game froze during some matches and he had to restart it. Facing such an issue at the highest level is certainly disappointing.
Despite all such issues, fans love the season 12 of ESL CS: GO pro league. With a health pandemic spread around the globe, season 11 was eventually canceled. However, the current season is a big success and everyone is looking forward to an intense grand final between Na’Vi and Astralis.
