Every day, Counter-Strike 2 tournaments of all shapes and sizes take place around the world. Others are held together with duct tape and hope. And then there is a third category: tournaments so badly organized that they become part of Counter-Strike folklore.

In this post: The Worst Major in History: FACEIT Major London 2018 There have been two dozen Majors by now, and some have certainly been better than others. Every Valve sponsored event has its share of complaints.
FACEIT Major London 2018, however, managed to collect almost all of these problems in one place. The tournament had to be delayed because of technical issues, immediately throwing the schedule into chaos.
MSL, who was leading North at the time, complained about FPS drops and audio problems. His comments should probably be taken with a grain of salt, considering they came after a loss, but they still added another entry to London’s growing list of technical headaches.
And technical problems rarely stay technical. A broken schedule and repeated pauses made life miserable for players and viewers alike. The quality of the matches suffered, while watching the tournament became increasingly frustrating.
Imagine spending four hours watching a broadcast only to get two maps, with little meaningful content in between.
