Majors were always like sacred places of pilgrimage for the fans of competitive Counter-Strike, and this year’s StarLadder Budapest Major is no exception. If you walk the halls of the MVM Dome, the location of the playoffs, you can hear people speak English, Hungarian, Chinese, Ukrainian, Dutch, Russian, and any other language you can imagine.
It’s a celebration of Counter-Strike as a whole, and many fans walk around, sit, eat, and cheer shoulder to shoulder with supporters of the rival teams. Everyone has a favorite, but love for the game is what brings fans of even those teams that didn’t make it to the playoffs to the arena.
