SG 556 Kreig leads to praise by CSGO professionals

Finally, in the new Counter-Strike patch, CSGO’s strongest arms were nerfed and pros around the world are shifting. The news that the SG 556 had been bumped by Valve most responded with joy.

Professional Counter-Strike players should relax on the CT side a little better, as the SG 556 had actually been nerfed. Valve has reduced its closer quarter capabilities by raising the new lower fire rate, making it a must-buy unit, while also retaining its long-duration power.

Many pro players and trainers took Twitter to tell them they were glad that the developers finally did something to shake off the T-side meta when they realised that SG was strong.
