Katowice has long been one of the premier showings of Counter-Strike, so naturally it needs the broadcast talent to match.

The usual suspects are at play with Maniac, YNk, Mauisnake and Pimp all there. Bubzkji also makes an appearance after being a lovely addition to the BLAST desk, but he isn't the headliner.

The marquee name is steel, yes Joshua Nissan of iBuyPower and 100T Valorant fame is joining the desk at IEM Katowice. Sorry Valorant scene, can’t help that ours is the better game.

Even former CS caster Lauren “Pansy” Scott can't help but be a bit jealous. You're always welcome back Pansy.

As for the rest of the talent, it's more familiar faces.

Harry x Hugo, launders x Scrawny, and SPUNJ x Machine all headline the casters.

And naturally the hosts have a star-studded line up too. From Freya and sjokz to the great OJ Borg and friend of the newsletter DarfMike.

That's not even everyone but we couldn't possibly cover the whole stacked lineup. This Katowice might be the best talent lineup we've ever seen.

We don't realise how lucky we are.
