CS:GO host throws a hilarious jab at Call of Duty esports during IEM Katowice broadcast Activision \/ ValveThe CS:GO and Call of Duty esports scenes are no slouches when it comes to friendly banter, and one host decided to throw a little jab across competitive divides during the pre-game show for an IEM Katowice Minor match. Hosts throughout esports fill in the time between matches with extensively thought out analysis or futile attempts at integrating memes, but one MC decided to use a bit of wordplay across game titles to get viewers to pay attention. CS:GO desk host Tres \u2018Stunna\u2019 Saranthus threw some off-the-cuff ribbing toward Call of Duty when he was hyping up a match that was set on the iconic map Nuke. The host stretched the wordplay just a bit to make an otherwise solid quip after his co hosts gave their predictions for the winner between a match with North and Vitality. \u201cDropping the nukes, as you will. That\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna be doing on the desk because it\u2019s time to head on down to Nuke town. And I\u2019m not talking about that other FPS, we\u2019re talking about real esports around here,\u201d Stunna said. The relation connects the popular map Nuketown that has been in multiple iterations of Call of Duty, to the CS:GO map. It was a fleeting comment used to transition the stream over to the game\u2019s casters, but not before sending Twitch chat in a roar of laughter.
