Honestly, the only real issue is Yanko, whose mic is weirdly quiet all the time for some reason.

Been out of the loop for a while now. New Inferno, Negev is a second round buy but apparently sucks poo poo, R8 got a buff, and dust2 isn't in the main competitive map list anymore? Holy gently caress Valve what did you do AND WHAT IS WITH MY SOUND

Don't change it back! Stick with it for three games - it's really good for locating directions.

Handsome Boys are about to get screwed out of the playoffs due to how CEVO handles Forfeit Wins, what a terrible system.

It looks like potentially we won't actually be, because maybe we just don't get the FFW credit until everybody has finished all their games? I'm real ready to rage if it doesn't pan out that way though.



In happier places, imagine how dead I could have been if they'd actually pushed me together here:

Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus.
One thing I really like about watching NiP is that they don't chase frags. If they're playing an anti-forcebuy round and someone gets dinked by a Tec-9, that guy will try to fall back to a safer position while someone else with 100 HP will try to finish the kill. This should be basic stuff, but for some drat reason, not a lot of pros are responsible with their money.

They are awesome and entertaining. I watched a lot of last ECS season and some of the games can really drag, Dan and Bardolph are good value. Although as someone else said, Yanko's mic is too quiet. He is a much better analyst than spunj i think.

Brax's return doesn't seem stellar so far?

I assume he will pick up once he's not on literally his first pro game in years.

technically brax's ban is only for valve sponsored events. Most of the other big orgs followed suit but apparently beyond the summit doesn't care

Has Beyond the Summit ever done a CS tourney before? I've seen them do Smash several times and it always seems cool and chill as hell.

Seeing the top CSGO players competing and hanging out with exactly zero esports bullshit is super entertaining and reminds me a lot of the vibe that more grassroots gaming communities like the fighting game community had before they got tainted with esports too.

CS summit is cool as a chill contrast to other tournaments, but without a history of proper LANs no-one would give a poo poo about these pros and personalities hanging out

CS just needs to tank like SFV and hopefully all this esports poo poo will go away :(
