You can only do that on Win10, older versions of Windows slow down noticeably.

What is the point btw for a home PC? Electricity isn't free

If we run twitch on ipad, does it still counts?

u/HalyAThk Renegades Jul 17 '17

as long as you have your steam account connected it counts

u/JonerPwner valeria Jul 22 '17

Is it the same case if you have two twitch accounts connected to the same Steam ID? I feel like I'm missing out on drops because of it.

Sorry for you in NA the majors in NA were more EU friendly than than this major is for NA people

Atleast this one is Thailand Friendly better than eleague staying up from 2AM to start if school was not easy

u/hachiko007 NiP Jul 17 '17

Except for VP, which means 2:30 Thai time. I really wanted to see that one. :(

it's awkward because for me matches start at about 3am I believe and I'm not sleeping way before that but I also don't feel like sleeping at 1pm and missing the entire day

My family is leaving for vacation on the day of the playoffs, and every hour of each day is booked for something. Third major finals in a row missed, sigh.

u/IgotUBro MOUZ Jul 18 '17

Do you live in europe? The EU abolished the roaming fees or in easy words you can surf on the internet in an other european country with your normal contract.

At least thats what i understood from the news.

u/MJuniorDC9 Jul 14 '17

We're finally here! Matches will begin early here, but early as I wake up usually, so I'm cool with it. Also, there's a error on the mappool photo in this thread OP /u/CSGOMatchThreads, Dust2 still marked as a map being in the pool. And talking about it this is the first major since CSGO released without D2!

somewhere in the Twitch settings there is a tab called "connections" or something like that, (it's near the subscriptions tab) and there you can link Twitch to your Steam account.

u/MrGermanpiano Jul 18 '17

So can somebody tell me something about this "BIG" team ? Never heard of them before since I do not really CS that much. Their two wins seem to be against really good opponents.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '17

Mediocre players with a well respected IGL who himself has played mediocre. At the Major Qualifier they barely squeaked through and didnt look impressive. Come the Major they all showed up individually around team strategy.

Hey guys, I went to tauron arena to see the live show and gladly received a collectible pin. However the pin doesn't contain the pin stopper(I don't know what it's called in English lol...) so the pin is not usable. Do you guys know how can I get a new one/get the pin stopper? Thx!

u/puglifejm Jul 16 '17

Yo guys, I got a (kinda stupid) question. When do the cases start dropping? Since the first game or only after group stage? Also, which stream will drop the cases? HLTV pages for the matches have SLTV and PGL as the top streams, and I guess it would be PGL, but I just want to be sure.

5

u/Nickyjha Jul 16 '17

They drop in groups and playoffs. Both streams are official, so both will drop cases.

u/thetrombonist Liquid Jul 16 '17

If I have both streams open in different tabs, am I twice as likely to get a drop?

it already annoys the freaking s*** out of me how much dead time we have in this tournament. first game yesterday was set at 11am, guess when it started? NOT 11am. how is this a thing, how bad have your organizing to be to let such things happen?

then add in the long ass breaks between games and even in half times, a lot of technical problems and yada yada.. it just sucks.+ I want to have Eleague back..

The First Stage standings are incorrectly labeled by logo. In Round 4 it should have Na'Vi playing fnatic, not SK Also, G2 Esports should be playing Astralis, not fnatic.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '17

i really had a feeling that sk was going against immortals

u/witti534 BIG Jul 19 '17

If Fnactic loses the next game while Flipside wins then Flipside has played against 5 teams who didn't make it out of group stage.

u/BASEBALLFURIES Jul 23 '17

@PGL - I guess it doesn't mean much now but the Inferno icon in the map veto has been wrong- there's a new one when loading into it in-game that's predominately blue.

I've been looking everywhere but can't find it.

1

u/nickdelrusso Jul 23 '17

Just thought I'd point out that IMT is now in the finals by having 1 upset over Navi, beating 2 other bad teams in the group stage, facing BIG (I don't care that big did good in the group stage, doesn't mean they were a tough team to face in a BO3) in the quarterfinals, followed by VP choking. Navi is #7 in the world and had a bad game, aside from that they beat #15, #17, #24, and #25 in the world. I know this will have negative karma because of salty fanboys but this is by far the easiest path to a final anybody has ever gotten.

Why do me and my friends don't drop any case? I mean, there's like 10 000 case dropped by game for 700 000 players, that means i have 10 000/ 700 000 chance of drop (it's 1.4%)

My friends and I are 6 so 1.4*6 is 8.4% of drop by game, we saw every match since the beggining (16 match) 16 x 8.4 = 134%

That means at least one of us should had drop one case, but well, we dropped nothing, is twitch really work ? (We all had link our account steam through the settings of twitch.tv)
