New CS:GO update eliminates bots from classic competitive and wingman modes

Valve has put out a new update to CS:GO. The biggest change seems to be revolved around what happens if a teammate is disconnected or kicked from a game. Maybe this will make you think twice before you kick one of your teammates?
