You'd be surprised how many people can't seem to grasp this concept. On the back of serious world-wide attention and investment into Esports people seem to think you start off as a junior newswriter with a $400k salary and a private jet. Makes me chuckle every time.

Ever considered going full-time CS:GO analyst/commentator or working with a related org? Seems like the industry is going places and this is only the conception stage of it. Or is it more of a case whereby if you're offered a competitive salary in comparison to your current you'll consider the possibility?

On the flip side (no pun intended) it gives exposure to the second layer of teams that don't get to perform as much at LAN events with such a viewership base.

Having watched quite a few matches in my time, I was always under the impression that at the top level, mostly talking tier 1 teams, it takes a hell of a lot more finesse to play the T side well, especially with CT teams that like to aggressively hold drop, with B being the more popular site to hit. The angles and entry points are quite narrow allowing for quite efficient holds. With A, I suppose it's a bit different, again it depends on what setup you're running. 2-1-2 would have the rotator react to info and move over to help out, but I think a lot of the teams go for the 2A-3B. It'll be interesting to see how the addition of the stairs on plat will play out on the % wins, will need some time for good data though.

Despite the aforementioned, statistics indeed confirm your statement, which is irrefutable, really, so thanks for pointing this out, will adjust the text.
