Stan out of Liquid, replaced by brazilian Steel. Happy to see he landed on his feet after the Immortals bullshit. Definitely an upgrade over Stan who's not even IGLing anymore.

So the ideal scenario is that they pick up 2 more Brazilians when ex-imt explode again and teach Twistz and Elige Portuguese?

(They still have Zews coaching them, right?)

apparently Elige already speaks Portuguese. Like, he's not fluent but he's good enough to get through games

Instead of improving afk detection to catch the bots spinning in spawn, let's delete part of the game.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I mean, bots follow the objectives, often stick together, use voice commands. And have been known to return fire. They're already worthy of Gold Nova at least.

Also, what is up with the IEM Oakland ruleset? Seems weird to have different points for OT Wins and Losses. I would hardly call a 16-14 win much more convincing than a 19-17 win.

They do it in ESL Pro League as well and it doesn't seem to make a heap of sense in either setting. I haven't seen the maths on what it does to tiebreaker probability, but there must be something in it for them that leaving things as-is/just eliminating OT doesn't offer.

pro league at least makes a little more sense because there are so many games played in a season, this is like..4 games?

How do you do cool jumps onto things if you unbind crouch?

Edit: I don't follow the pro scene as much as I used to but why is VP losing to a team called Space Soldiers?

Space soldiers is also a reasonably solid and stable tier 2 roster that on a good day could take on even a non-slumping VP and similarly tiered teams and win

Xantares and Calyx can be pretty sick

What did you say the strategy was?
Why do players constantly change weapons? Isn't there a chance, however small, that you'll get caught without a weapon ready when you constantly change?

It happens all the time, people getting killed for changing weapons that is. People do it to be cool most of the time, but really it started so people could keep themselves 'warmed' up, likely is still like that for guys in tense/high pressure situations, just like guys in starcraft are constantly clicking/selecting poo poo but not needing to, it keeps you in the game, focused, and ready to click things.
