imo if you're ct and can find a nice headshot box and maybe even some headshotbox-y areas to play on your rotate thats the ideal situation to buy no armor

In my head I thought it'd be pretty cool to record my UMP shenanigans, but in reality it's 99% scrappy rat kills, and only 1% awesome shenanigans. So far 3 wins, 1 draw, although I'm 90% sure the topfrag in that draw was cheating (on our team) so that was probably a loss. So far nobody on the other team has got mad at me really, which is disappointing. Usually one person on my team, usually the bottom frag, gets really pissy and says to kick me but so far I've always had one Scandinavian bro who doesn't necessarily like what I'm doing, but will die defending my right to do it

Teammates who give you poo poo about UMP will follow you through all ranks. Even topfraggin the whole match on global will have at least two people in team going "oh god you loving force-buying idiot, why can't you get a real weapon" - xxx_goatfucker_228_xxx(RUS), 2/0/18.

Richard Lewis is banned from Dreamhack now, along with this funny comment from the Director of Dreamhack: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snvdg2 Wouldn't c9 be the best choice for gtr financially anyway? He gets to move to America, stream whore for lots of cash, be the big fish in a little pond and actually receive a legal paycheck on time unlike NiP. They probably just won't win many games.

Too bad analysis desks will be nigh on unwatchable without them. I've seen other "esports" desks and they are just endlessly bland filler. Very few games have interesting personalities, even if interesting in this case means gigantic douchebags. RLewis is actually a competent host, unlike some of the human refuse that floats up to the surface to present esports tournaments. It's just a shame he's broken and mentally ill. I also hate when Thorin talks, about most things, and how wrong he is too, but he can actually crack a joke that didn't come from a christmas cracker and make me feeling an emotion, even if it's usually hatred, whereas I know his replacement will just be some overgrown teenager stumbling over the most softball questions as they interview a match winner.

This is the exact reason they should just stick with lovely countdowns that mean nothing and even shittier EDM background music in between each game instead.

qhat posted:I always found analysis desks in basically every e-sport unwatchable. It would help if there were more ex-pros like fifflaren who could step up to the plate. Yeah it's true, I mostly tune out regardless. But that's often because they really are filler and they can't cover that up. But when those two are together, they have decent chemistry, and it can be alright for a little while. I also think the best casting combination in CS:GO is, or at least was, probably RLewis and HenryG, even though they barely cast anything together. And nowadays DDK duo have really stepped up to the plate. Anders and Semmler have also improved in leaps and bounds. Watching the casual whatever-story cup in which HenryG, DDK and RLewis casted while getting progressively drunk was really the best. It's a shame the Rahim stuff overshadowed it, but again RLewis' natural inclination towards drama and mental illness has a tendency to make that happen.

I think they'll look long and hard for a replacement for him and you'll be surprised at how competent the new guy is. I'm sure he'll also be intolerable so we won't have missed a beat! An-DERS! An-DERS!

Fiff, maniac, sgares analyst desk, with one of the DDKs to give it some outside perspective. I wouldn't be shocked if the turner league hired sgares as a full time analyst, he's probably the best known player in NA who doesn't have image problems.

I hate every single caster because they always take so loving long just talking in between games. I used to think that fighting game streams were hard to watch with the comparatively tiny amount of talking they did, but most esports streams are infinitely worse. I realize some of it is just due to the logistics of setting up a 5v5 match with custom settings being used by each player being much more involved, but does it seriously take 45 minutes in between two maps to start a game?

kalstrams posted:That's the whole reason I don't watch CS:GO basically, it takes too much time, considering that I don't quite care about absolute majority of teams, players, and maps. A well produced event (rare) usually doesn't have the long wait times. I can't remember what LAN it was a few months back but it ran like a dream and there was minimal wait times, even for technical issues (player gear, etc.).

Hard to schedule times for CS:GO. If a game goes 16-1 you'll have longer between two games than if it goes into double overtime.

I certainly don't blame the organisers for the waiting times, since I know little on team tournament behind the scene shenanigans, and the playtime variability must also somehow be accounted for. I just find it all in all a bit too long, from those very few times I've actually tried to watch a CS:GO event.

I find the Dota 2 TI and recent major to be pretty good with regards to analyst and hosting. Some "banter" here and there but for the most part its about the drat game. I thought Redeye was a great host. But then again, Dota is 10x more complex than CSGO, so with downtime there is a lot of game to talk about.

We need our very own Ray Romano (minineo) to cast. Actually, gently caress that, I'll do it. It'll be the beginning of CSGOs Attitude Era where as long as I can wear my tomato sauce-stained death metal shirts, shorts, unkempt beard, as well as drink and curse excessively, it'll be the most entertaining god damned thing you could ever witness.

Each player gets a autoexec file thats been screened through and placed onto a specific usb, keyboard, mouse, and pad. They get the call from the green room whenever the game ends. Let them get in load in game and let them jump around for 5-10 minutes. Plan for a 60 minute game, if it goes over have two casters start casting on the other twitch channel until the first game ends. NFL, NBA, MLB have done this poo poo for 60 years. Its not like there are broadcasting rights restricting them from using other channels...

FYI this isn't the casters fault, it's the organizers, and sometimes the pro players fault, because the organizers suck at makign schedules and enforcing them, and the pro players don't give a gently caress and half the time show up like 15 minutes late then complain their config isn't working
