They will have a data feed and base games from that I think but Im not sure HLTV is the provider directly, maybe.   HLTV often advertises many companies and no doubt gets some large monetization of their user base that way.

do you have a favorite team in Cs:GO?

I like underdog teams that succeed, the classic for me being the old CLG line up who came out of a pug team.  Mousesports have to be mentioned as giant killers, though its too well known now and maybe Big is latest version of that.    Famously CLG were the ones involved with beating ibp or rather ibp arranged that but the story behind that headline they really were a great team able to beat anyone ( I think they did get c9 in bo3 that same summer, after shroud/hiko c9 nearly took out Nip who won the major), the following January CLG got the French champions who won the major twice.  Was only bo1 but still the odds for that bet was over 10 to 1 , we dont get many of those anymore and a viable team to back and I won on those bets, got some nice skins I still have.    
    So now I'd say Tarik's team again, Im not saying they are great now but I'd like to see if they can develop.  For that timeframe I'm really going on when LAN games come back, so we're talking 12 months.   I cant really say right now besides that long term idea because its all so unclear, I think alot of teams are in a haze.

I've seen the recordings of this team playing, it really looks amazing.

I agree that after the quarantine it is not known which of the teams will be in the top. I think they will need some time to see who is the best at the moment.
