This year, Osipov's sniper rifle kill rate in major championships reached 0.383, lower compared to last year when it was 0.420. This decrease could be attributed to changes in the AWP, including reduced ammunition, making spam shots less effective.

Flop of the Year
This year's most amusing fail occurred in the match between MOUZ and FaZe on Overpass. MOUZ tried to make a late plant, but for some reason, the players lost track of time or simply didn't notice the timer. As a result, instead of potentially taking the match to overtime, they lost with a score of 0:2 due to a few milliseconds remaining at the end of the round.
Highlight of the Year
Currently, all teams and players have gone on winter holidays and will return after the New Year. The first tournament where we will see all tier-1 teams will be BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024 , scheduled to begin on January 22, 2024.
