Today's issue of "The Catchup" is here! Grab some popcorn and read up on the most interesting things from yesterday's headlines.

The most notable news of the previous day was that Valve has released a CS:GO update. The new update includes the team stickers as well as player autographs in form of the stickers. Both team stickers and player autographs will be used for the Pick'Em Challenge during the ESL One Cologne, so there will be plenty of fun for those who decide to take part in this competition.

August 15th was one of the rare days this year without a single official match. The scene is currently silent due to preparations for the next major which is starting in just a few days.

The break has definitely worked out for the French and Australian guys from EnVyUs and Renegades, as they used the free time to visit a very nice restaurant and enjoyed the food. Moreover, they used this occasion to strengthen the ties and their alliance is looking much stronger than before.

At the same time, their countrymen from Titan went for dinner on their own hoping to find someone to make a pact with. However, no alliance has been announced from their side yet, but the guys enjoyed some scrumptious frog legs.

To wrap up today's post we will report on an incident that happened behind the scenes during one of the FACEIT Pro League matches.

Check out how Alexander "s1mple" Kostylev got banned from TeamSpeak server:
