Excuse me, but the streaming quality on Twitch is absolutely crap. 720p 60fps it says, player recordings do look good, but the ingame graphics are awefull. You can't see anything, all pixeled. There are streamers who have better settings. Nothing compared to other productions.... Edit: I mean it is really blurry and not sharp. MAybe for a mobile device it is suitable, but for the big screen? Come on, this is a major and getting decent streaming quality should be priority one! Gonna watch ingame now.....

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jan 22 '17
CT side is harder, since your weapons cost more and since you cant get extra money from bomb plants. Basically you get money according of how many rounds you won/lost in a round (the more you lose, the more money you get every round, maximum is reached at 5 rounds in a row lost). A reset is when a team lost many rounds in a row, then wins one and then loses the next one. In this case, the team that just won one round has no money left at all and has to eco (buy nothing or very little).

Since NiP didn't qualify, I'm rooting for GODSENT/Fnatic and G2. Though a North vs Astralis finals would be amazing IMO. I'm a massive G2 fan, my favorite team apart from NiP, but I don't expect much from them unfortunately, not at such a stacked event. Dammit, prove me wrong G2!

Prepare to be entertained!

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jan 22 '17
I have the feeling Optic is the new VP in the sense that they can activate the plow. When they are winning rounds they often just roll over the enemy, however, if they lose some, they often get rekt pretty hard. A very emotional team - in both ways!

Really hoping that they do a live draw at the end of the day for tomorrows matchups. Like a ballshoot thing, or even casters drawing names out of hats. Just something to prove that its randomly drawn
