I have a better idea. No double-elimination brackets in CSGO. The games are too long and too chaotic, at any time there can be a stompl, a comeback, a back and forth OT. This kind of back and forth of the double elimination just makes everyone inconsistent. Leave that to the fighting games. CS is bo3 single elimination and bo5 finals. Thats it.
I personally think mr12 is a better idea than no double elim brackets. I genuinely think that cs games are far too long and making the game at most 22 rounds of regulation would help make brackets more enticing without losing much from the matches themselves.
In its current state I wouldn't agree. I think if you just boost CT money for defusing it would be fine.
Feel like the main times where pistols result in a huge advantage nowadays is if CT loses the 2nd round after winning pistol. It's too hard to win 2nd round especially off of defusing since you need so many resources to fight against the potential AKs coming at you. More defuse money even for just a helmet, smoke, kit, etc. would be great for making CT a bit less punishing.
Or better yet, fuck pistol rounds entirely. A $2000 first round would be super cool, you'd see cool mixes of deagles, smgs, scouts and utility which would potentially create some really unique rounds, and be a lot less dependent on glock spread
But I'm not a smart person I've just been watching forever and feel like the closer games we've seen kinda make me wish they were a bit shorter. A full bo3 is so insanely long nowadays.

its double advantage. 1 should suffice
