Pro gamers mocked CSGO’s new skin samples right at the tournament finals

As part of the Shatter Web Campaign, the latest major content update for CSGO, Valve introduced the ability to allow player change their character’s default look in the game.

Therefore, the new feature has not been completely popular with the gamer compete professionally, when some pro criticized this change.

In the analysis table at the Finals ECS season 8, Sean Gares also took the opportunity to “fire some shots” at the new skins this. When the camera turned to the analysts, Sean Gares’ chair was empty.

He explained: “I used my new skin right here. Oh, I have a camo skin. Can’t you see me?”

Thankfully for the players at the event, several organizers – including FACEIT of the organizing committee ECS – banned the use of new skins, a move that appears to have been made in cooperation with the CS Professional Players Association.

Valve has yet to respond to criticism of the new skins. While it doesn’t seem like they won’t completely reverse the option, there’s still a chance they could find a way to tweak the problematic skins to improve visibility.

According to map maker FMPONE – the creator of Cache – however, allowing skin customization is inherently a “breakthrough game”.
