Welcome! Today has been an awesome day for close games. With all the best teams at this tournament, you'll likely have a favorite by the end of the day. Keep your eye out for Virtus Pro - they play a very disciplined, tactical style. Just "good all around CS" - sort of the way the Germans play soccer.

SK just really don't make mistakes. Such tight, controlled play, all the time. When they're losing, it's usually because the other team is just hitting every shot. But when the shots start to even out... it's very difficult to beat a team like that.

Is eleague a new player in the pro tournament scene? I haven't followed csgo tournaments for some months. How do people feel about them? are they better than ESL? :)
4
u/Nsyochum Godsent Jan 23 '17
They started about 6 months ago with eleague season 1, which was a large money tournament (I don't remember the exact number, but it was over 1 mil) that was supposed to emulate sports league style play with a regular season (essentially group stage) and then a playoff final. There biggest thing was that it was broadcast by TBS.
They changed parts of the format and followed it up with eleague season 2, which was also successful.
To my knowledge, this is only their third tournament.
4
u/Worknewsacct 10 years coin Jan 23 '17
They're fairly new, owned by Turner Broadcasting. They have the highest production value of any tournament and good community interaction. I'm very happy to see them in the scene.
The finals will be played on live TV in the USA, this is going to be huge.
The only thing they're missing is MLGAdam.

u/thkvl King NiKo Jan 23 '17
Yea, eleague is relatively new compared to other orgs like Dreamhack, ESL, etc. As mentioned, it's being broadcasted by TBS which means that it's produced by Time Warner. It's quite big, which is why Valve gave them a major almost immediately.

Why did SK pick Fox up and relegate Fallen to UMP/m4 bitch duty? Fallen is an infinitely better player, this new roster doesn't click.
Also, why did the stupid fucking mods decide that only 1 thread per entire fucking day would be good for each individual match? Notice how there's no discussion at all about any of the matches? Hmm, wonder if that has to do with the fact that there isn't a platform for discussion.... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

So how is this system supposed to be better when you have Australia vs Optic in round 2....
→ More replies (1)2
u/Nsyochum Godsent Jan 23 '17 edited Jan 23 '17
Optic isn't eliminated yet, in the old system, had they drawn VP and Astralis back to back like this, they would be out of the tourney.
edit: I checked the standings from ESL One Cologne, Astralis only made the quarter and VP made it to the semis, meaning it would have been entirely possible for Astralis, Godsent, VP, and Optic to be in the same group, with Optic going out after 2 games by losing to VP and Astralis. This is similar to what happened to G2 at cologne (who was I think #5 in the world going into cologne) when they drew SK and Fnatic (#1 and #2 in the world) as well as Faze (top 10, don't remember exactly where) and went out after dropping 2 games.

No hats allowed at this major?

It's a Valve rule (I believe, but a rule nonetheless) that no hats are allowed to cover the ears, as there has been some 'drama' about hats possibly negating the effects of the soundproof headsets.

Not sure where else to put this but I just want to say props to eleague for splitting up their twitch stream. Usually (ELS do this) have one 8hr+ long stream and I have to scrub through it to find the games I haven't seen. Eleague have broken up each game into its own past broadcast so I can jump straight to it. The small things make the difference, thanks!
