ESL has announced the on-air crew for the upcoming IEM Katowice Major, which features 11 members. CS:GO's next Major will see five people switch around on the analyst desk, with desk hosts Alex "Machine" Richardson and Tres "stunna" Saranthus accompanied by a trio of well-known figures and former professional players Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill, Jacob "Pimp" Winneche, and Sean "seang@res" Gares. As previously announced by Daniel "ddk" Kapadia, he and James "BARDOLPH" Bardolph will miss their first Major since they first commentated at one at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca.  Anders "Anders" Blume is another notable name missing on the list, as instead Jason "moses" O'Toole will pair up with Vince "Vince" Hill, with Henry "HenryG" Greer and Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett selected as the other duo of casters. The full talent lineup of IEM Katowice, which will span three weeks from February 13 to March 3, looks as follows:
