We have compiled a list of five notable players who’ll, unfortunately, be missing out on the CSGO Stockholm Major 2021.
- KennyS: If you’re an avid CSGO fan, then chances are you’re already familiar with the name of this French giant. Kenny “kennyS” Schrub is undoubtedly one of the finest AWPers that the world of CSGO has ever seen. However, the 26-year-old was benched from G2 in March after a series of inconsistent performances. The absence of KennyS in the Stockholm Major will certainly be disheartening for a lot of older CSGO fans out there.
