CS:GO pro players blast iBUYPOWER event after multiple issues Reddit\/DexertoA number of prominent Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players have criticized the iBuyPower Masters event that took place from January 19 through 20. The tournament, which took place in California, ran into issues from the get-go with the first game of day one being delayed for close to three hours.
