I have literally no idea what this is. Steam wants me to buy an IEM 2019 Katowice CS:GO thing.

So Steam sells video games, right? I would assume that a IEM 2019 Katowice CS:GO Major Championship Viewer Pass would therefore be a video game, but that title doesn't sound like a video game title. CS:GO is a video game. I know that much. A Championship Viewer Pass sounds like a ticket to an event, but probably more like a pay-per-view event. Am I getting close here? Do they want me to order a pay-per-view of their video game championship? What the hell is IEM 2019 Katowice?

If only there was a product description in the store page.

From the product description:

With a Viewer Pass, you'll get an upgradable Katowice 2019 Event Coin, access to the Katowice Pick'Em Challenge, Team Graffiti, Steam.tv flair, and exclusive access to Katowice 2019 Souvenir Packages!

I know what most of those words mean individually. But when put together in that sequence, they lose all meaning. I now understand less than I thought I did.

*checks item*

Looks like a digital backstage pass with extra digital benefits and digital trinkets for your digital CS:GO profile. Digital.

Might as well give $10 to your local junkie hoodrat rather than buy this.

It's related to CS GO so it's most definitely trash.

Katowice 2019 is CSGO event/contest.
