Are six-man rosters the future of Counter-Strike?

Astralis, ENCE and now other teams have decided to establish a six-player lineup with potentially more substitutes and replacements on the way. Is this the future of Counter-Strike or just a meme and a series of poor decisions? We've asked our panel of CS:GO players and personalities to discuss the matter.

Every CS:GO team has a different blend of skill, tactics and chemistry and the players on each of them no doubt have different opinions about whether six-man rosters are the future of Counter-Strike or not. We've decided to get in touch with some of the leading CS:GO players in the world to get their opinions about this new trend. Is this something worth experimenting with, or perhaps adapting across the board, or just an odd experiment that can never live up to the normal 5-man lineups of the day? Check out the video below to learn what they had to say!
