BLAST Paris CS:GO Major crowd issued warning for helping hometown favorites

The live audience at BLAST Paris CS:GO Major has one clear favorite in the form of Team Vitality, but it has been given a warning during the squad’s semifinal against Apeks on May 20.

During the first map, Mirage, the game was stopped for a few seconds to turn attention to James Banks, who walked on stage. There, the tournament’s host and interviewer warned the crowd for giving Vitality players hints about Apeks players’ positions and similar information, which the crowd was doing continuously in the first half of Mirage. If the behavior didn’t stop, Banks said BLAST would turn off the X-ray and radar in the arena.
