Anyways, good job FaZe, you somehow threw that away against Optic of all teams

Random seeding kind of hosed us. Have 0 doubt that Astralis is going to roll over them.

The thing about CS is that it gets decent ratings for the time slot and is pretty cheap to produce. TBS doesn't have to pay tens or hundreds of millions in broadcasting rights to get the content and Thorin and the other hosts don't command 7 figure paychecks either.

Yep. Also CS gets their advertisers a relatively valuable viewer demographic that can be hard to reach otherwise (young people!).

On one hand, OpTic have proven they're a total underdog story and to see them win such a large tournament as this will feel amazing as an American. Plus, not one but two NA teams would have won a large tournament this year, after a ten-year drought.

On the other, I can't stand to see device in tears once more. :(

I loved it when he was trying to act like he knew what the pick/bans would be in the pre-game time. (HLTV had them posted an hour+ before the broadcast started)

This is way better than the first season finale and I think it's because the best team in the world at the time was DQd during the first season
