TACO Lists Three Key Reasons Why He Believes CS:GO Majors Have Lost Their Prestige Team Liquid\u2019s Epit\u00e1cio \u2018TACO\u2019 de Melo believes that Valve\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Majors are losing some of their prestige. The two-time Major Champion has been critical of recent Majors in a Twitter post, arguing against the switch to the Swiss system format that has replaced the old GSL-style groups. He also complained about the roster lock rules and the decision to include stickers for teams competing in what used to be the \u201cMajor Qualifier\u201d stage. CS:GO majors lost its prestige The first step back was changing the format to Swiss format Second, creating non-sense roster locks rules Third, making stickers to teams that are playing the qualifier (my team is also challenger so i\u2019m not being jealous) and few more things \u2014 Epit\u00e1cio (@TACOCS) July 11, 2018 The GSL-style groups that were used in previous Majors would feature a double elimination pools of four teams, with best-of-three elimination and decider matches.

Some members of the community, like MLG\u2019s Adam Apicella, stating that using side stations and streams with best-of-three games are preferable to best-of-ones all on a single main stream.
