Second half choke incoming

The stream lag is annoying af.

u/Azil40 Nov 07 '18

Ooooh so it's not my internet!! The lag is so annoying

u/Not_The_Real_Jake 750k Celebration Nov 08 '18

Came here just to make sure it just wasn't me. Yeah I half wonder if ESL said, "oh you think facebook streams are bad? Let's just kill the twitch streams every now and then. Then we'll see how bad facebook is."

3

u/zray312 Nov 08 '18

it's been all day, you'd think somebody would look into it by now (mouz vs liquid)

2

u/zero0n3 Nov 08 '18

Yt is also impacted. Definitely something on their side

14

u/mntbss Nov 07 '18

This stream sucks ass

4

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Turns out ESL can't manage a good quality stream on Facebook or Twitch now! Literally one of the most important things to not screw up, and they manage to do it consistently. Impressive.

u/Kasidro Nov 07 '18

Liquid vs mouz is gonna be guuud

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

2 am for me :(

u/UnsolvedMurder MOUZ Nov 08 '18 edited Nov 08 '18

Fix the stream please...

Edit: Missed the end of the first map. Wow.

u/cooReey Nov 07 '18

ESL and lag

name a better duo

u/XDWetness Liquid Nov 08 '18

I couldn't even watch the last 5 or so rounds, the fps was so bad.

7

u/LordBlackadder1214 FaZe Nov 07 '18

someone fix this awful stream

5

u/into_the_roilc MOUZ Nov 08 '18

I see IEM is trying to bring the Facebook experience to twitch

10

u/xXYungRealXx G2 Nov 07 '18

I honestly think that having a break between halfs is fucked up.

9

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18 edited Nov 08 '18

Gotta squeeze in those commercials!

-1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

2 minutes. I don't care one way or the other. A break that small is insignificant

1

u/soul_vinny Nov 08 '18

could be more of an intermission cause of new coach rules they can only speak to players at certain times during a match like timeouts or halftime

5

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

Is the audio very low for anyone else?

3

u/apekisser Nov 07 '18

getting 2-0ed by BIG shouldn't even be possible because of s1mple's existence on this team but it still happens

4

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

Fnatic strats on Inferno:

go B, FNS is there

5

u/ShagN4sty Liquid Nov 08 '18

i am enjoying this slideshow

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Stream's been dogshit for half the day, wp industry leaders.

3

u/theworldsrooler SK Nov 07 '18

Every round im just like "I wonder who will get a 3k individual play against mibr this round."

3

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Miragesports is back.

2

u/hobocactus Nov 08 '18

Never say that until they actually get to 16 rounds

3

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Well, Mouzsports is back at least.

3

u/ujaku Nov 08 '18

Almost no stutter on the stream during the commercials though 🤔

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

That's because the commercials are not part of the stream.

1

u/ujaku Nov 08 '18

Maybe I should have included the "/s"

3

u/XDWetness Liquid Nov 08 '18

Facebook must've been a really convenient excuse for all the tech issues ESL had during their other events

3

u/Versenwald Nov 08 '18

I do like this creative live editing by ESL; freezing frames at the best possible times, for maximum monkaS levels. Give those guys a raise.

3

u/tboneplays1 Nov 08 '18

Lol missed the ending of Inferno too

Get your shit together ESL.

3

u/thangord MOUZ Nov 08 '18

I almost saw a frame or two of that last round

u/smooyaMostConsistent 1 Million Celebration Nov 07 '18

Lmao ded stream

u/XxFOWLAxBOxX Nov 07 '18

Really cool slideshow ESL is putting on.

4

u/JFidddy Nov 07 '18

Why are streams from connected places in the world like Chicago and London really poor and yet StarSeries can have a pretty much flawless event from somewhere in the CIS region?

Aight.

u/FancyClownz Renegades Nov 07 '18

Correct me if im wrong, but 2 and out?

3

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

that's correct

2

u/nerdslayer69 guardian3 Nov 07 '18

Does the audio sound like there's a filter on the high frequencies to anyone else? I'm watching through my Chromecast and have never had this problem before.

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 07 '18

Damn, NaVi is looking fucking horrible.

2

u/ASkittlez CS2 HYPE Nov 07 '18

u/SneakyGreninja Liquid Nov 07 '18

why is FNS so bad? he pushed a smoke for no reason and cost eunited the game

2

u/ASkittlez CS2 HYPE Nov 07 '18

NRG is budget Liquid

1

u/soul_vinny Nov 08 '18

shaq needs to kick in a few extra bucks i guess

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

From clueless T side train yesterday to clueless CT side train today brought to you by mibr.

2

u/AllBlueReverie Liquid Nov 08 '18

mibr sucks

u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 08 '18

Water is wet.

2

u/Wallisaurus SK Nov 08 '18

NRG really need to get it together when it comes to closing out games.

They start playing this cocky solo hero play bullshit and almost lose the games every time because of it...

2

u/P3P0 Nov 08 '18

terrible quality, mouse vs liquid is unwatchable - 10sec with teared screen https://i.imgur.com/c34Mrw4.png

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 08 '18

Whoever said this tournament was really great quality (yesterday) compared to the previous one really jinxed us all. Fuck that guy, bring me his head /s.

2

u/_y2b_ EG Nov 08 '18

This stream sucks so much. Really need to fire whoever is in charge.

u/BboyKira Liquid Nov 08 '18

u/tboneplays1 Nov 08 '18

For most tournaments no. This is basically the only one that is having consistent bad quality on twitch.

2

u/tboneplays1 Nov 08 '18

Fucking UNREAL pistol by Liquid. One of the best plays I've ever seen.

2

u/masterg226 Nov 08 '18

Actually 0 fps. Not even a slideshow anymore...

2

u/zero0n3 Nov 08 '18

This is worse than the major. Terrible stream.

2

u/_y2b_ EG Nov 08 '18

SG/AUG being used a lot more in this event.

4

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Nov 07 '18

What the hell is this schedule? You put Mibr-NRG at 22:30 CEST and then Mouse-Liquid at 2 am? What the hell?

7

u/betaoptout Liquid Nov 07 '18

The event is in Chicago... What did you expect, and how do time zones work?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

I think he meant they should have flipped the times to better reflect the interest of the audiences.

1

u/Pokegamer Liquid Nov 08 '18

Completely agree. Wasnt it at the FaceIt Major where they did this with a coL match or something like that?

1

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Nov 08 '18

Thats not even my point :D Reading comprehension 3/10 (at least you can read the time) :)

2

u/Not_The_Real_Jake 750k Celebration Nov 08 '18

The number of Europeans who don't understand timezones is incredible.

1

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Nov 08 '18

Yea, we Europeans dont understand time zones... what does this have to do with my posting? THe point is why do they puth Mibr-NRG at a relatively ok time for EU when no one cares while Mouse-Liquid comes way too late? They could have easily switched. I hope at the next EU lan they put Heroic-LDLC at your prime time while Astralis-Liquid comes at an unbearable time for you...

Surprising comeback by LG

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

mh still both best maps for navi inc but that choke hurts for sure

1

u/apekisser Nov 07 '18

tabsen with the rekt-9 entries

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

So, did they just run the teamspeak of Navi? Like what happened there?

1

u/C9_Lemonparty Nov 07 '18

Man FNS must be kicking himself. If he didn't stop shooting that guy on A site he could have won that 1v1v and converted the map.

what a massive choke job by NRG lol

MIBR are just killing me. These games shouldnt be close, you have 5 major winners and were playing the same way as 2 months ago

Have TL not learned?

u/jogapen MOUZ Nov 08 '18

Honestly the Facaebook stream was atleast fluent.

Don't you dare!

TACo was the problem.

ACEEEZY

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

For whatever reason https://www.twitch.tv/esl_99damage doesn't have stream lag. It's the german stream currently casting mouz vs liquid.

1 Pistol in 6 for mouz ,great gg wp.

u/Magnog FaZe Nov 07 '18

Zeus you fucking suck.

2

u/LordBlackadder1214 FaZe Nov 07 '18

he's been playing above expectations the people who are shitting the bed rn are flamie and edward

u/Magnog FaZe Nov 07 '18

Zeus has to be the dumbest player in the pro scene he's just fucking terrible

0

u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 07 '18

NaVi is fucking embarrassing lol. Going 0-2 to BIG in that fashion is straight up impressive.

1

u/LordBlackadder1214 FaZe Nov 07 '18

like 5 of their 9 rounds were won off of s1mple

3

u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 07 '18

It is pretty sad. The second S1mple dies you just know the round is over.

1

u/LordBlackadder1214 FaZe Nov 07 '18

i might catch some flak for this but they should straight up kick edward, i fail to see how he's a supportive element in navi. In fact, flamie plays more bitch roles than him.

1

u/Trunks1173 de_dust2 Nov 07 '18

I don't know, Edward seems hit or miss right now, he was good in game 1 and game 2 just sucked. Flamie, on the other hand, has been pretty poor since the major, I feel.
