Unlimited Shanghai 2024 Souvenir Packages?
It has always been engraved in the culture of the CS2 esports community when it comes to the majors a large chunk of the player base have always been trying to farm souvenir packages, you must remember the hype back when we had cobble stone and everyone had the lottery winner feeling just by getting a chance to get the dragon lore souvenir skin, However with this update, the souvenir packages can be bought for 3 dollars and you can select which match you want the souvenir from which wasn't the case in CSGO as it would be a random drop via watching on twitch. Given that previously these were very rare and limited, does this mean now you can just purchase as many as you want with no consequences?

Apart from the Pickems & Souvenir Hype, these graffiti's have a unique touch, it speaks out perfect world shanghai 2024
