Can you still get item drops by watching livestreams?
Back in 2013 there was a Dreamhack steel series cs:go championship and you could earn items by watching cs:go matches on Twitch.
I was wondering if you could still earn items by watching matches and if so, which channels do this? Thank you.

The last time you could get drops by watching Twitch were for Katowice 2015. If they decided to do this again, I'm sure they will announce it on the blog.

Answer 2
You can only get item drops that way during specific events.
In the past, they have only enabled such drops during the Valve sponsored 'CS:GO major tournaments'. These are the same tournaments that have the team stickers and pickem challenges.
To get the drops you need to watch the specific streams playing the tournament. These channels change depending on the event. In the past these tournaments have been hosted by various groups such as Dreamhack and ESL.
