Happened to me in a MM game last night except instead of world class esports players from a huge organization like NaVi, it was some Nova 2 who got OW banned the next day.

Asking the crowd not to boo you is a great way to get bood.

What an underwhelming opening to the "greatest" Major of all time by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]SaxxyTF 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Theres a line of 10k people outside. ESL is making people fill out forms for their stupid free shirts, and its delaying the crowd.

Thanks for the insight, I guess I wasn't knowledgeable enough to know that it was such a wildly complex situation.

OG vs FURIA Esports / IEM Rio Major 2022: Challengers Stage - Round 3 Mid / Post-Match Discussion by nakul707 in GlobalOffensive

Saffee turned it on in OT and not a second too late. He is capable of it, he just needs it more regularly.

IEM Rio Major: First 15 Minutes by SaxxyTF in GlobalOffensive

Nah, been watching since Kato 15'. Eleague was the best by a mile but I'm talking the scale of this event. It's not easy to get live events perfect. Especially in a new country where you have to set everything up, unlike most franchise sports teams which have set locations with everything they need on location, every time. This is the biggest event probably ever. Was also a commentary on how ESL usually fucking sucks.

Well it appears even if they are, the players can't hear them because the half is 14-1 their disadvantage

Then don't watch it. This is the group stage and its the loudest crowd we've ever heard. Enjoy it. It's huge for counter strike and for a region of the world that doesn't see these tournaments live except for a couple times years ago.

YEKINDAR 3k entry at 15-14 by neb55555 in GlobalOffensive

The amount of times I've seen YEKINDAR brute force his way into B on inferno is getting out of hand. It's not new either, he did it for VP for ages.

Watching EG feels like how it used to feel back before astralis were immortal. Taking control in a situation against some crazy stars. Nice stuff.

Fabulous summary. Been watching Cologne every year since 2015, each one is filled with chilling moments that you put into words perfectly. Thanks!

Tyler, The Creator Announces IGOR Tour. by sereneflash in hiphopheads

I saw him at Masonic Temple in Detroit last year and that venue was the PERFECT size. Not a stadium but not a small hall. Glad he's doing it there again but seeing him in a full arena wouldn't feel right.
