[CSGO Guide] How to get free souvenir drops / in-game Items during a Major CSGO tournament

in #gaming7 years ago (edited)

What is a Major? What are souvenir Cases?

Major Championships are tournaments where 24 teams fight for the Championship in a video game called counter strike global offensive- CS GO with an expected prize pool of $1,000,000 USD.
During these Events, in-game items(Souvenir Cases) are dropped to random people watching live Majors games.
Depending on the map and the team the value of these cases varies between 3- 40 USD.
You can sell these Items for money on the internal Steam market to purchase games or other in-game Items.
Start Date:2018-01-12
End Date:2018-01-28

How to be eligible for getting souvenir packages?

Option 1: you already have CSGO in your gaming Library / watching with GOTV

  • Step 1: launch CSGO game
  • Step 2: click on the Watch section in the main menu
  • Step 3: click on Watch Live Match
  • Step 4: the game/GOTV will load and you are now eligible for getting souvenir cases.

Option 2: you don't have CSGO but you have a Twitch Account and a Steam Gaming Account.

Now you just need to link these two accounts and watch the game on the official Twitch Channel.
If you have other things to do just leave Twitch open and you still can get in-game Items as long you linked your accounts and "watch" an official stream.
for example

  • Step1: Log in to your Twitch Account
  • Step 2: go to setting and press the connections section
    /connections
  • Step 3: click on connect and log in with your Steam Account
  • Step 4: your accounts are linked now, all you need to do is to watch an official Twitch stream and you have a chance to get Ingame Items.
    for example
