The decision to change the rulebook comes as a clear consequence of the ongoing ‘spectator bug scandal’ which currently is ravaging the CS:GO scene and especially coaches and their integrity.
The two changes consist of new requirements being that all coaches have to stream their POV into a given discord channel during all matches. In addition to this, they must also have an anti-cheat and monitoring program called MOss running during all matches.
Esports Operation Manager at Blast, Robert Mulgan describes how this makes them better suited for potential cheating incidents and further explains.
“Although this isn’t a perfect system it’s a fantastic step forward in improving the integrity of online games, and will give us more evidence if we need to review cases!”
Over the weekend we shipped two changes to the @BLASTPremier rulebook, we now require all coaches to stream their perspective to our discord as well as have MOss running on their PC during all games.

In a follow-up Tweet, Mulgan praises the coaches after yesterday’s matches, saying that they have taken it very seriously.
“A few teething problems to fix overnight but overall a great improvement and fantastic to see the coaches taking this seriously!”
Today completed, all coaches uploaded their files straight after their games.
