Not sure why Twitch doesn't just disable chat anyway on huge event streams like this.. like 500k people can have a discussion in there.

People like it because it's like a cheering crowd that reacts to the games, not because they can have discussions. Chat is only inefficient on twitch because twitch implemented it in the most horrifically inefficient way.

I use twitch with BTTV because if you remove all the !drop poo poo and <message removed> chat is still fun to read. Doesn't lag my stream anymore either

real dilemma

it's funny because they:

-get rid of shox/smithzz mostly because shox lacked "worth ethic," take apex/kenny from titan
-both teams initially appear to get a little bit better
-nv starts sliding wayyyyyy downhill
-get rid of kio, again citing "work ethic"
-do no work to improve with their new lineup
-lose to CLG at major

we'll see how g2 plays but right now it looks like they're actually the winners of the "big kennyS trade." funny how getting the best player in the world at the time made them worse in the long term. should have just kept shox, one of the best raw aimers in the world, if they were going to stop preparing for events.

e: also, it mystifies me that nv banned out train and let CLG play cbble, one of their favorite maps. train is not one of nv's best maps but CLG don't really know how to play it at a super high level and jdm can't carry them the way he sometimes can on cbble.

I'm not saying that NV is great, because they're doing pretty drat terrible right now, but to say they're not Top 20 anymore is quite an inane statement.

The way envyus is now, they are only barely top 10. Trouble is they really haven't played that many matches since picking up devil, and the ones they have played it's losing to tier 1 teams, and the only ones they win are against tier 2 teams.

The brackets on HLTV are images it looks like, so the times aren't localized. I think they're still running on time. The last game is scheduled to start in 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Edit: You're right, it's running way behind.
