It's great. There's nothing like a major.
You're picking a great time to start watching, so many fantastic players and there is a lot of parity right now.

I simply love that the Major is sponsored by the god damn US Air Force. Because why the fuck not, right?
6
Jan 20 '18
USAF has actually been sponsoring esports and other "tech nerd stuff" for a while. The Air Force is very different from the other branches in that they're MUCH more selective about who they allow to enlist, so they recruit for quality rather than quantity. Since a lot of what we do are things like cyber warfare, drone piloting, and intel collection and analysis the e-sports audience is actually a great target since there's going to be a concentration of people with the necessary skills, education, and interest in those relevant fields. Just don't wash out of tech school or you're going to end up handing out volleyballs at the gym or cooking chicken tendies for the nightshift nerds.

"QBF got lucky during the qualifiers, no chance in the real Major, worst team ever, CIS teams are a waste of spots."

To be honest, VP doesnt deserve to make it to the play-offs, regardless of how likeable they are. Just compare their lifeless and uninspired showing here at the major with teams like Vega or QBF, who come well-prepared and eager to make the game living hell for their opponents...

Looking at the stats, Astralis worst player was better than the best of North. They played way better, but losing both pistols made the game close.

Nobody can talk (players) to anyone during a tech timeout, only tac. Don't think coaches can talk either, don't remember. Obviously the player with the problem can talk to the admin but that's it.
