I dunno the warface video is enough reason to hate them, get the douchechills just thinking about it but then I'm not aware of any other team having an equivalent video.

The love cannon has a very short range, about 2 feet, so you're inevitably out of range. I have to close the distance.
Are all of you too dumb to realize that the whole video was meant as some kind of joke/parody?

^^ Wow grats man you guessed a coinflip correctly.

Pretty good final, but I think DHW'14 was still better. Olofm put out a MVP-worthy performance during the whole tournament and allu finally played like he should during the final. Let's just hope that the Tec-9 gets fixed before the next one.

Hahah yes of course it is indeed a parody, Fnatic definitely meant to lampoon other videos like it.

Sadly that number is unique views or something, it's closer to ~970k. Still amazing nonetheless.

Those numbers are loving amazing. If CS continues growth at anything near this pace then it will overtake LoL in the West.

I missed fnatic vs nip. Is there a twitch archive/rebroadcast of the match? I'd check out the demos but I'm stuck on my macbook and last time I loaded up cs on it all my settings got hosed and synced to the cloud.

e:thanks!

Judging by how they took it down when they got the reaction that, according to you, they were going for I'm gonna have to say it's you who's the dummy!

I didn't say they were going for the reaction they got. They probably expected people to understand that the video was meant as a parody.

During the tournament I noticed Fnatic took a couple timeouts (game paused mid match) to go over strats and reset. I didn't know that was allowed... did any other teams take timeouts?

Yeah, it's fairly common. IIRC there were a few pauses in the Keyd/VP game from both teams.

What is it with players and switching their weapons constantly as they run? I wouldn't mind it so much, except that as i'm watching people on my team do it they get caught out surprisingly often :argh:

I always just figured it was to keep their trigger fingers warmed up. I have to problem of just always refresh inspecting my knife and use the excuse that it keeps my strafing fingers warmed up.

I hate it too. Worse is when I tell them to stop doing that when they're trying to clutch and they just tell me off cause "Whatever idiot I'm just so good at this I don't have to worry". *gets his head clicked because he swapped to knife as he turned a corner*

alright since this is the third major I've tried watching and getting drops from and received nothing, I'm a little confused as to how all the Twitch-Steam connectivity works

If I leave the stream on but in the background (as in not actively watching it) am I still eligible for a drop? If I am to receive a drop, how do I know, does it give me a steam notification like I get for trading cards or do I just have to open GO and hope?

also do the current games on the esl B stream work for drops

Did you go into your settings and link the accounts (basically log in to steam via twitch)?

As far as actively watching vs. background watching: I've had dual windows open while watching all weekend doing other things and got 3 drops. You're just unlucky dude. Correction: it's really unlikely to get a drop. Especially during the final where viewership was around 1million people.

Unless of course you didn't successfully link your accounts. There should be a green check mark next to steam if you did it right.

I'm not an expert but it seemed to be ~0.1% of viewers per drop? It shows #viewers and #drops in the same window and they're only off that by a few boxes every time I've looked.

So what does getting 3 total drops any/or getting 2 drops on a single map mean? drat I'm lucky.

so long as your twitch is connected to your steam (you can check this in your settings -> connections), you should be eligible. Twitch does not notify you of a drop though, nor does steam, if you get one it will show up the next time you start go.

Also the chances are a total crapshoot. Depending on how many people are watching and how many rounds there are it's probably somewhere between a 1 in like 30 to 1 and 100 chance. You just weren't lucky this time dude.
