HLTV Confirmed – Counter-Strike Podcast
The HLTV confirmed crew featuring permanent guest smooya talk about the roster changes that happened during the tournament break, analyzing BIG, Eternal Fire, fnatic, and more, diving into the return to action at ESL Pro League Season 14 which starts shortly. The show ran into a number of hurdles - Striker's power went out 30 minutes before the start, smooya came in as a super-sub, SPUNJ's microphone had issues - but we powered through to deliver the best show we could. Thanks for the understanding
