so
@COL_jks
is a man of his word, he said in the groupstage "he didnt want to be the reason
@FaZeClan
got knocked out" so I guess he has to win the entire thing to keep his promise.
This doesnt look right to me.
@FNATIC
made it further than EF, they should go to the last match. EF and MIBR should of played EG/IHC - seems fnatic got no advantage to beating them and making it further.

Esports Winter has come for me.
@TeamPWR
has decided to not extend their Esports program in 2024 and we have parted ways. Thankful for my time, learnt a lot in the partnership/YT/Creator space and i'm now looking for opportunities in Esports/MGMT/Partnerships in 2024. Reach out
The CSGO Calendar is definitely saturated at this point. IEM Brazil feels so lacklustre. I used to think like this about DH Opens, but now that feeling has crept to the best events (IEM's).
DH MEL next week, then the major then Dallas a week after. This needs to slow down.
Ever wonder how
@Azr
got into the Window on Mirage so often? Well over the year or so we did it, there was actually 12 iterations of the "Super Strat".
@Azr
and
@kassad
had to keep changing it as teams caught on. In the end all 12 versions were defeated by the light glitch.
hey
@ESIC_Official
watch the video.
This is
@Roflko
and
@thamcsgo
just 2 of the many guys you mistakenly banned but then maybe took it back? What's it going to take to get a public resolution? What can we do? What can I do? What can you do?

csgo majors have had some terrible luck with world/political events.
paris - retirement age protests
rio - election
pretty sure there was issues around antwerp/stockholm as well

Is it time for
@HLTVorg
to create a wall of shame with orgs/people who owe money. So future players don't make the same mistakes. I keep seeing the same ppl in the headlines.
Today is such a bittersweet day for CSGO. I wake up to the 4 semi-final teams being 4 of the teams with the most LAN experience. If you ran this tournament with these exact rosters in May of 2020 these are the placings you could believe. 1/2
1584 days as a Renegade, day 1 as a thief starts tomorrow. Thanks to
@JonasJerebko
and crew for everything you did for us over the last few years. It's been a hell of a ride.
As you may have seen
@GratisfactionNZ
got approved and is already in Dallas practicing at a secret location. Big thx to
@OnFireMoses
@max_melit
and everyone who wrote lettters and articles to get Sean's street cred up a few levels!
The boys are back in town.

@ropz
i wish we new the real reasons valve wont do 128tick. Originally ~10years ago they said it was because of peoples computer/internet spec. I simply cannot believe that is the case anymore.
The game is insanely profitable, just make it 128 across the board in all ways to play
@100T_Esports
I see AT&T and then listen to the convo and get flashbacks to calling an ISP and complaining about my connection and explaining ping/latency.
Seeing a lot of tweets about "24/7 esports" and "work-life-balance". Truth is, esports is so big now you cannot just group all the jobs into "esports". Just like in real life, various jobs have various requirements. Some require 24/7 adhoc work load others require 9-5 m-f
These teams are not heroes, they are survivors. Think of all the veterans who were removed, the rosters that got torn apart because they couldn't do it online. Now we are back we need them more than ever. This isnt about the new teams, they will grow into it and be gods. 2/2
It's crazy what the ORG does (super underrated angle for roster building). This
@NRGgg
is basically an EG roster but it inspires so much more because the brand is believable and you think "if the players buy in this could be a good roster" unlike EG where it's like burnt toast.
Found this in the closet, it's the only prototype of the
@voxeminor
bag. Colour was wrong, but bag was good. We signed with Renegades about a week after this was made back in 2015.
@tarik
think time constraints is a cope out. Each group has a 6 day time frame. Could of easily do 2 x 16 team swiss groups. Then a 8 team SingleElim Bracket.
Should be prioritizing more games which swiss solves.
@JakeSucky
This sounds like the parent who tells their colleague at work or the family BBQ their child is really good at gaming, when 9 times out of 10 they are silver.
@DonHaci
ppl with access have likely played more CS in general due to the requirements to get into Beta. Therefore likelihood of the players being better.
@SicK_cs
We just landed in Germany for CSGO and we have no restrictions, is it tournament forced? or can you just leave the hotel and find your own food?
The meme vid "we getting paper" from LA Renegades was actually filmed using real money. We were living in the casino and we just went, we need $1000 in 1's to make a video and they gave it to us.
@ropz
@SPUNJ
CONTENT
Set up PC's at EPL with no settings shown.
Test 60hz 144hz 240hz 360hz - make the players/cast tell you which is which.
Could do similar content with 64tick, 128tick etc
And maybe test input lag with GPU/Display scaling etc (not sure what else is possible)
@Pimp_CSGO
@COL_jks
is also very procedural and calculated. Not having a proper setup for months is 100% affecting his game right now. Good news for
@FaZeClan
is this is not his final form, he will get stronger game by game.
Concerned to hear a player was tweeting during a tech timeout at the major. If that is true it needs to be looked at. Having enough access to your phone could easily reveal tactics/msgs/money situation of the match you are playing in. Imagine if ESIC was...
Disappointing that
@G2esports
has played every
@BLASTPremier
game this event in the last time slot. With an AU player they should be trying to accommodate the fans where possible (AU first, NA last etc)
Biggest problem i see with the new map debate is how infrequent map changes are. When a map you like gets removed or one you dont like stays you know its gonna be like that for a while.
If maps were constantly coming in/out every year I dont think people would feel as strongly.
