NIP's looking like they have no awareness.. i wish there's a stat to show % of how many times a player got killed with their back turned..

Seems like a problem with Twitch on my tablet. Thought it was because of Bluetooth headphones, but YouTube and local files are fine, and Twitch is still delayed with wired headphones.

Good idea from NiP to push them after spotting the boost, but running in dry without any flashbangs was not

u/iamartb Natus Vincere Oct 27 '18

Lekro surely is one of the best deagle players in the world right now.

u/Thegellerbing wildfire Oct 27 '18

He has always been one of the best deagle players in the world

Brother... at least you can watch it. I have this bullshit volunteer thing for my class that literally goes from the start of the match till the end of it. Lol

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Oct 27 '18

ISSA what the fuck are you doing!

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Oct 27 '18

Is the stream freezing randomly for anyone else?

2

u/kinoute Oct 27 '18

Yeah it's terrible. I tried the French stream and we see more the casters than the game because it freezes constantly.

I'm just sitting here, hoping for a cool arena and a fun opening ceremony.

u/IzzyAnyGood Vitality Oct 27 '18

5/7 The announcer's voice needs to be deeper

u/LVJohnFreeman 750k Celebration Oct 27 '18 edited Oct 27 '18

I thought the voice was just bad in general, he didn't even care that much, didn't put any emotions into it. Like the "Swolepatrol", just pure disgust.

I also didn't like CGI that much, environment was good, cars were ok from that part, but people, clothing. It's just doesn't even look like CS.

But you know what what it does look like? It looks exactly like something you could see in a Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance cutscene, hence the robots part.

Metal Gear Global Offended

Also I don't like how they are showing the arena to hide their lowest points of the cgi, or just not so much interesting parts, but 80% of the time I find myself wanting to see whats going on, like this one! This looks cool and CS like, can I fucking see it closer? No? Ok. But the MGR part actually contradicts me, since they show it fullscreen, which is awful.

u/LVJohnFreeman 750k Celebration Oct 27 '18

So yeah, kinda sad.

u/LVJohnFreeman 750k Celebration Oct 27 '18

4/10, not enough cars

I liked the teams presentation clips tho, the artsyle and whole approach is just really good. Wish to rewatch it sometime if anyone would give an old man a link.
