The Krakow Major player computers provided by PGL, the Major tournament organizer, are supposedly flawed, and professional players are voicing their concerns on Twitter.<\/p>
\u201cPC\u2019s are so shit here, step up [PGL],\u201d said<\/a> Nikola “NiKo” Kova\u010d of FaZe Clan. NiKo is one of many players<\/a> who are complaining about the PC issues ahead of the $1 million tournament, which begins on July 16. Marcelo \u201ccoldzera\u201d David of SK Gaming believes<\/a> that the problem is due to PGL\u2019s use of old Intel i5 processors.<\/p> <\/p>
In response to the problem, Denis Kostin of Natus Vincere also suggested<\/a> the idea of a players union that works behind the scenes at Valve-sanctioned Majors, giving them much more representation in decision-making. In theory, an informed and well-crafted player union working with Valve and tournament organizers could prove to be beneficial for players, especially for issues such as PC quality.<\/p>

With the Major approaching quickly, poor PC performance should be the least of the players\u2019 worries\u2013especially considering the hit to framerate<\/a> in one of the latest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/em> updates<\/a>. It is still unclear whether or not the update may have affected PGL\u2019s computer systems since the Krakow Major Offline Qualifier, which took place in late June.<\/p>
