This has to be one of the hardest games possible to cast, to be fair. I love the casters not being subtle about it, though. "Let's maybe not watch these guys, they're boring".

RNG loot spawn, circles. E-sports succeed because people like supporting specific players. It's going to be hard to convince people to invest their time into watching the game when A) The core aspects of winning aren't really exciting and B) A ton of players are going to get knocked out randomly due to sheer dumb luck of bad loot or being forced into poo poo positioning because of bad luck with circles.

IMHO it actually adds something to the game over boring poo poo like a standard FPS where you spawn with generic loot every time. Different strokes for different folks, but I would point out that the millions of people playing and watching PUBG would say you're wrong.

I think time will tell but the game is a lot more fun to play than it is to watch at a competitive level so far. W/R/t streamers, I think there's a huge difference in watching a streamer, who is playing to entertain viewers and in whom none of the viewers really have anything invested, vs. supporting someone on a comp level in a game where they just maybe get screwed twice in a row on the drop and they're out of the tournament you've been waiting a month to watch.

Squad, maybe. Solo, I don't see it ever. There is just such a drastic disparity in how people normally play the game, vs how people play the game to win.

Is there that much benefit to showing this live? Would they be able to delay by a few minutes even to get good angles on the action?

I like the camera switch to overhead map view as people are about to fight. That is about as unexciting as you can get.

Evermore won going to spawn island every game, so many people are going to do that gimmick now

That pretty much sums it up for me. It's like complaining that you got 1% wetter than your opponent.

I do agree squads should be great to watch and for the love of god fire this piece of poo poo cameraman. Is there like an official site or something showing the tournament setup and how this is all working?

was playing solo fpp. there's a concrete shed in the zone so i'm figuring someone's gonna be in it. pull the pin on my stun, grenade sails in the window. sprint up and slam open the door...there's just a dude sitting blinded in the corner. doesn't even spray when i start dumping into him.

wtf? do flashes render you way more deaf than i realize?

Yes. Hit yourself with a flash sometime. You become completely deaf and the screen goes all white for a few seconds. I've never been shot while flashed so I'm not sure if you still see the blood graphics overlaid on the white screen but it wouldn't surprise me if you didn't.

Completely deaf for a few seconds, in my experience being flashbanged that one time in 100 hours
