Not sure where to give feedback but maybe PGL could add in the name of the map instead of just the logo, it's hard to identify the map immediately. The analysts desk was having trouble with it as well. /u/DianaPGL /u/DarkPGL

yeah, even the desk wasn't 100% sure what maps were banned. The "standard" way of displaying the map image in the background is way more intuitive and clean imho.

Having the map badges is a pretty cool touch but they should probably add the names in bigger letters

There has been more non-gameplay during this major than actual gameplay. Why is there like an hour between every game
5
u/AncientDV 400k Celebration Jul 16 '17
@PGL Serious feedback. Add the names of the maps underneath the map icons during the pick/ban phase.
I really like having the icons there, but add the names of the maps. Even the casters are slow with figuring out which icons are which maps so it'll be a complete mystery for the avarage and casual viewer.

u/Skepolo King NiKo Jul 16 '17
This major is basically 70% ResidentSleeper between games and 30% actual games. Why are the breaks so long? Ugh.

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Jul 16 '17
Rain gets a 3k, so kio decides to slow peek the same angle. Then allu gets caught out somehow. And then niko whiffing. Sick round from them.

u/metrize Jul 16 '17
I think rain is lowkey the best player on Faze

u/Arcille 10 years coin Jul 16 '17
not even lowkey at this point, he is top fragging for FaZe in 70% of their games.

North should be ashamed throwing so many rounds away
→ More replies (1)3
u/DSMatticus Jul 16 '17
I feel like that's the reverse, honestly. North played okay, Cloud9 played dumb but won the fights. Seriously, how many times did Cloud9 get fucked wrecked on b site alone because they didn't check anything? I remember a 3k and a 4k, at least. Now that's throwing away rounds.

That was super shitty by astralis right? Called a timeout then extended it with a technical timeout, looks like they complained about lag or something?
They then rushed with tec-9s and wrecked imt after like a 5 min timeout
How is imt not at a huge disadvantage in that round even with a full buy? Looks like the round won astralis the game

So I fell in love in BiG in qualifiers but didn't put faith in them in pick'em challenge. Now I regret my choices, they are able to achieve quarters.
If they reach quarters, I will cheers for them in Krakow as loud as I can.

BIG is a pretty cool team simply because they put so much effort and dedication into this game!

Why didn't production make sure the players kept their eyes open while doing the "panorama shot" for the 3D-animation? Now it just looks stupid as fuck.

I really dislike how delayed the main stream is, makes it impossible to watch with chat because people just spam the outcome of the round from hltv when its only halfway through the round.

excuse my stupid question but why you guys watch the major in GOTV and not twitch?

u/Rasputin650 Virtus.pro Jul 16 '17
I can't speak for others, but my motivation is less data usage. GOTV uses significantly less data at 1080p than twitch stream (like 90% less). Really helps when you have a 5GB daily limit.

Camera Control and Less Data Usage. Only downside is no player cams, which can be interesting sometimes.
