It’s not that CS: GO has no potential for in-game events. Unfortunately, Valve is not introducing any of them.
CS: GO, like other online games, has great potential to bring some freshness. Of course, Valve works in a completely different way than Epic with Fortnite or Riot with Valorant, but that doesn’t mean CS: GO alone isn’t suitable for this.
