Who's idea was it to have non-casters for a game that could predictably be a bit boring. Some actual casters could at least keep it entertaining.

No no it's great, because in an all-star game what I want to hear is Thorin talking about himself.

Let's quick petition the White House to have Obama detain and deport Thorin. It's not too late.

You should see the dota 2 major allstar matches. Literally just 10 players loving about for an hour, not finishing, and doing nothing interesting at all.

Thorin making jokes about banana bread haircut or something and there's some nerd laughing super hard at it in the background

Match is fine buf i feel real commentators poining out stuff thats not that easy to grasp from individual povs would do wonders especially on a new and somewhat complex map like nuke

The match is a bunch of pug stars trying to win normally with no team chemistry, rather than goofing off and doing funny stuff like the all-knife round that the entire crowd wanted to see.

Niko tried some bullshit earlier but he stopped after Hiko wrecked him with a rifle in melee range.

Niko had a knife kill or two as well. I was hoping for an all M249 round in OT or something though.

All three of the caster combos at the event could have sold the match way better.

Gotta get the analysts to cast for no reason, though.

Go for true all-star casting, commission Tasteless and Artosis to cast the game.

the height of comedy, to me, a man who attends csgo events and holds up kappa signs, is a guy calling back to Thing That Happened in a Game #12 or some other guy saying "north america lol!?" 35 times while his fat friend nearly asphyxiates from laughter. You won't believe what movie line he'll mix it with on the 36th go.

Just had another comp ruined by a pair of dudes griefing. I love solo queueing, it's the bestest.

edit: I'd finally gotten my own head right and started playing like I'm supposed to, and so clearly that's when to hit me with the griefer train. I love solo queueing.

"reference game", as the kids say, "on point"

except the kids don't actually say that because his stupid catchphrase isn't catching on no matter how much he tries

Don't solo q dude. Not if you are at a low rank. If you wanna play comp while your friends are not online, just play on the 5 v 5 community comp servers you can find in the server browser. You get lots of various types of greifers at the lower ranks.
