The ‘Coaching Bug Exploit’ rocked the competitive CS:GO circuit hard a few months back and its impact is still being felt by the scene as ESIC (Esports Integrity Commission) continues to actively investigate this particular incident. As the tournament organizers tried to cope up with the online transition of CS:GO due to the global health situation BLAST came forward to reveal a few changes for their ‘Fall Series’ tournaments that actively combat the ‘Coaching Bug Exploit’ among other similar barriers.

These are some of the methods that BLAST has now adopted since competitive CS:GO shifted online. Haworth attributed these quick changes to two factors, the coaching scandal being exposed away from the ‘Fall Series’ tournaments which gave them ample time to prepare and BLAST following a practice of updating their rulebooks after every event.
Whatever the organizers are doing seems to be working out as the recently concluded BLAST Premier: Fall 2020 Regular Season was commended as one of the best online CS:GO tournament of 2020 by both the industry experts and the community members.
