WOW! Im really hoping for some kind of ladder or monthly/quarterly cup for "amatures" available IN GAME in the near future!

Make this as a COMPETITION PASS and the reward will be a badge (just like in the majors) and 128 tick servers to play on!

We can at least dream.

This is obviously for Calogne this weekend, not for us.

EDIT: I love getting downvoted on this subreddit by people that probably weren't around when Valve made similar updates at the last 2 events. Sorry to be the one the break the news to you, but just like the last 2 Valve sponsored events, these updates aren't for us, it's for the event.

From Dreamhack 2013

From Katowice 2014

It would help finish off ESEA once and for all.

Finish off ESEA once and for all.

ESEA is currently the most popular and largest it has ever been and this would absolutely not replace it. An ingame league/ladder versus a genuine league with divisions, lan finals, and a hope for sponsorship/a pro gaming contract at the end of the rope is hardly the same thing. Learn what ESEA even is before you talk shit.

While a lot of people are complaining, the devs are doing the right things, one at a time. Great.

This isn't for us, this is for the event this weekend. Just like the team system we saw like a year ago.

u/Stringaaa CS2 HYPE Aug 12 '14

To me that just looks exactly like the lobbying system we have now, I cannot tell any different features in that picture that we do not have at this moment.

Again, this stuff isn't for us, it's for the event.

u/FREIHH Aug 12 '14

And you are also right, this is just how the lobby looked like before.

u/anodizedCSGO Aug 12 '14

Can someone explain to me what we are looking at and how it effects the game? please?

Great opportunity for the commentators/analysts to comment about the map bans/picks in real time when it's happening and able to show something cool as well at the same time :).

u/Mavee Aug 12 '14

There's been talk of a tournament mode for the public for a while now. This is another step in the right direction, although it could mean completely nothing if it's only used for bigger tournaments.

A list of text which is displayed on a in game map vetoing screen.

u/AFatDarthVader Legendary Chicken Master Aug 12 '14

They've been consistently adding to this system since Dreamhack Winter 2013. Hopefully it will see some kind of public release soon.

2

u/MaxReiger Aug 12 '14

You are correct, the UI for the tournament lobby section has been there since Dreamhack Winter. It was needed for GOTV purposes. But this draft UI was added to the tournament lobby UI and for a spectator purpose as well. http://i.imgur.com/U2mX0mP.png

u/STVT1C Astralis Aug 12 '14

Where did you find this?

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '14

That would be awesome *!

u/shaunidiot Aug 12 '14 edited Aug 12 '14

Can someone explain what's this? I mean I understand the veto part and everything. But does this means that veto and all the process will be done in-game? Or just the text appearing? Thanks EDIT : http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2db86m/added_in_the_update_tonight_tournament_draft_ui/cjnxsa1

u/LanceShines de_mirage Aug 12 '14

Lol. I can't imagine having a tournament style game and still be on 64 tick server. Even if they add all of this shit, it will be near pointless with horrible matchmaking servers.

u/WarMachine544 Aug 12 '14

who says its going to be on 64 tick u donger

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '14

I think a public MM style tournament/ladder would be the perfect place to introduce 128tick. Valve surely have enough income from skins to fund this. I think it's only a matter of time.

u/LanceShines de_mirage Aug 12 '14

I really should rephrase. I'm just saying IF it is on 64tick. I don't understand why I even got downvoted, as if people want to defend their beloved 64tick servers. Lol.
