Dear Valve, ESL and ESEA Administrative Panels,

We, the players and viewers of your CS Global Offensive product, appeal for a change to the recently introduced rule for the offline tournaments in which the coaches aren't allowed to give input during the live rounds of a CS:GO match.

This sort of ban is unheard of in ANY sports competitions that has coaches involved in a team strategy and will create a strong confusion and even disadvantage in some cases, especially for teams that already have coaches employed and between on-line and off-line versions of the same tournaments, even!

We would like for coaches to be allowed to communicate with their teams during warm-up, time-outs, half-time AND (as an addition to your current rule) during freeze-time at the beginning of each live-match round!

This way we feel that a good compromise can be achieved and will create a more competitive and enjoyable environment for all parties involved!

Thank you!
