The effects of the global pandemic are felt all around the world, and the same goes for esports professionals as well. We've got in touch with a few CS:GO pro players and asked them about how they've experienced this upheaval and how their lives and livelihoods were affected by the situation.

The coronavirus pandemic has devastated much more than the LAN tournament scene, and the individual players and people in the scene each have their own tales of these trying times. We've asked shox, JW, flusha and many more top CS:GO players about how they handled the current situation, and their experiences and insights offer a unique perspective on the industry.

The experts also offered their thoughts on the best European CS:GO player, the best support player in the game and discussed the identity of the best AWPer as well – all of them are worth checking out!
