 * Symbol possible vote.svg 5x expansion checks out, the hook and the article are quite interesting :) hook fact and quote is properly cited, QPQ checks out. I'd just suggest to add "community" or "gaming community" after the CS:GO mention in the hook to make the subject of the hook clearer. Pinging Raymie...

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Even better. Going forward, I'd suggest to expand the lead to summarise the article, but that's not a DYK matter.  Daß  &thinsp;  Wölf  23:07, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
