Curious and observant fans have noticed Twitch made a small update related to CS2 this week. The streaming platform changed the name to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This change has generated strong excitement among fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of CS2.
On Twitch, the veteran first-person shooter has been renamed from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike. This name change makes us think that CS:GO is coming to the end of an era. On the other hand, it is important to note that the image of a TC standing in front of a yellow and blue background next to the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive label remains the same. However, the name has been shortened.

CS2 fan doubts
Right now, CS2 fans have a lot of doubts about the game. Some fans wonder whether there will be a relay in the competitive scene in Counter-Strike. Recall that many professional CS:GO players have commented that the new game is not completely ready, indicating a long way to go before CS2 can be played in different tournaments.
At the moment, it is unknown if cS2 will replace CS:GO immediately in esports, but it seems that not all professional players are excited about the takeover. Once the release of CS2 is made, the community will have to wait for an official announcement from Valve, where any details related to the competitive scene will be revealed.
