 Casters and Analysts:

The weekend has a great line up of talent in terms of casters:

After a great event at Gfinity’s CS:GO Spring Masters and their general playing performance, we expect the Team EnVy lineup to come out strong right from the beginning of the event. With that being said, everyone across the Counter Strike community will expect the Ninjas in Pyjamas team to finally make their comeback after a losing drought.
