The Shanghai Major Hub Opens, With Free Pick'Em Picks for Prime Players

The Shanghai Major Hub is now live, letting players buy a Viewer Pass for an upgradable Shanghai 2024 Coin, follow the Active Pass Leaderboard, and play the Pick'Em Challenge, which Prime players can now enter for free. A new music kit, Ay Hey by Perfect World, is available for purchase, and players can rent weapons from any previous CS:GO case. Train received added blockers in B to remove unfair angles along with gap fixes and collision fidelity upgrades.
