Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov, the captain of BetBoom Team's Counter-Strike 2 roster, commented on the revised rules for tournament organisers. He expressed his disapproval of the new requirements in a post on his personal Telegram page:
"Well, judging by what Valve has done, it's the end for the tier 3-4 scene, gentlemen."
In the early hours of 17 July, Valve's developers published a new set of rules for tournament organisers, dividing all CS2 championships into ranked and unranked events.
