Counter-Strike thrives when teams compete on equal terms, and these new regulations are part of our commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of Counter-Strike as a competitive sport. Our objective is to maintain an open environment in professional Counter-Strike, where the only limit is a team's skill and ability.
