What happens when you pair one of the best talkshow hosts in esports with some of the best CSGO players worldwide?

Yes, we know, you didn't know, that was precisely what you needed.

BLAST.tv is introducing The Launders Show; the first ever esports late night show - first of it's kind - featuring some of the best players and biggest names in CSGO.

The first episodes air today, exclusively on BLAST.tv. Episode 1, 2 and 3 feature Vitality star Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen, Astralis coach Peter "casle" Ardenskjold, and Heroic IGL Casper "Cadian" Møller.

Channeling inner Anchorman

The first episode of The Launders Show features Vitality star Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen.

According to the anchor of the show, Mohan "Launders" Govindasamy, viewers can expect "a comprehensive look at their favourite Counter-strike person, as a guest, a teammate, a player", and "most importantly, as a human," he told BLAST.tv.

"This show is about encapsulating the past, present and future of our favorite CS personalities in an interview and then topping it off with the Gauntlet challenge because talk is cheap!" Mohan "Launders" Govindasamy said.

The set is looking authentically like a 70's talk show which channels Launders' inner Anchorman and everything he learned about the time to create a unique experience for every guest.

Pros battle in The Gauntlet

The guests will battle for top-1 on the leaderboard in a time trial map called "The Gauntlet".

During the show, CSGO pros will battle against each other in a Counter-Strike custom time-trial; The Gauntlet.

The host, Launders, tried it already - and adds that one of the pros did especially well:

"I played the Gauntlet at home to get a feel for what everyone could expect, and I landed around ~1 min. Considering the amount of tries the players got, it's pretty shocking how well they did. Especially one individual, but I won't spoil that," Launders said.

The first episode (of seven) of The Launders Show will feature four-time Major winner Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen and will go live on April 14.
