The major will be so much more cool when there isn't an obvious and clear favorite. I hope its vp because they play the most exciting cs or nip because I know more about them but I don't give that much of poo poo so long as its exciting.

I'm not like a big esport fanatic but I think the general feeling about mous was its 4 guys weighing niko down while astralis was like 5 guys under performing when it counts.

Every player has slumps, and he's probably burned out by being carry for so long. He'll be back.

Was he IGL previously or was that a new thing that he also has to do in addition to carrying?

only for the primetime friday slot and (hopefully not) tomorrow's Final. The first Semi is always really good and then I forget about this loving bullshit

TBS only shows CS on Friday night so I assume there it'd be normal for Finals.

There's no way to actually know for sure. I'll still champion the inflated numbers 'for the good of the sport' but I'm not deluded enough to think those are anywhere near accurate

Edit: especially with the media narrative that "millennials dont care about sports / ESPN is dying"

Seeing that.
Seeing as.

I am always so underwhelmed by the analysis and commentary in csgo in general. I can't think of anyone other than I guess DaZeD who engages me. I much rather watching matches with my own music playing with muted commentary at the expense of ingame sounds.

I mean there are plenty of sources that show they were averaging 180-300,000 on Friday nights which is pretty good.
