The Day CSGO Changed Forever


In February 2020 esports events were changed forever by the ruthless COVID pandemic, which put the world on pause. This documentary covers the heartbreaking moments, as well as the continued unity of the CSGO community, first seen at IEM Katowice 2020 where s1mple and NAVI had to compete in silence at the beginning of CSGO’s online era.
