During these Events, in-game items(Souvenir Cases) are dropped to random people watching live Majors games.

How to be eligible for getting souvenir packages?

Option 1: you already have CSGO in your gaming Library / watching with GOTV

• Step 1: launch CSGO game
• Step 2: click on the Watch section in the main menu
• Step 3: click on Watch Live Match
• Step 4: the game/GOTV will load and you are now eligible for getting souvenir cases.
  

Option 2: you don't have CSGO but you have a Twitch Account and a Steam Gaming Account.

Now you just need to link these two accounts and watch the game on the official Twitch Channel.
If you have other things to do just leave Twitch open and you still can get in-game Items as long you linked your accounts and "watch" an official stream.
for example

• Step1: Log in to your Twitch Account
• Step 2: go to setting and press the connections section
  

/connections

Step 3: click on connect and log in with your Steam Account

Step 4: your accounts are linked now, all you need to do is to watch an official Twitch stream and you have a chance to get Ingame Items.
