No drops? Last DHW qualification had drops/

2015-02-14 11:23

the cameraman is so annoying with his XRAY. He doesnt understand that spectators want to see what's going on.

2015-02-14 11:26

First offline qualifier and it is fucking horrible. 1) I believe it's Vendetta who's observing @ CLG - Gamers2? Fuck off. You're horrible and do NOT deserve to observe such a thing. Learn to use the fucking XRay, retard. 2) No English stream for Titan - PITER. Good fucking job. 3) Once again, major delays. As fucking usual. 4) Who the fuck are those casters besides Anders? These noobs have no idea how to do this shit.

Why the fuck would you want xray? If it wasnt for xray we wouldnt have all these "omg aimlock through wall"threads/rumours all the time.. Xray can be fine in tense situations, but you dont want it all the time.. Its just some shit spoiled csgo kids has been raised to love, back in the days you didnt have that kind of things..

I don't give a shit about 'back in the days'. It's a lot more interesting to see where the players are and see what the plan is for the teams than have to depend on some asshole observer who can't even do a half decent job.

2015-02-14 12:57

Xray makes spectating more interesting from a tactical point of view, because you can see a total view of what's going on. can Don't need it 100% of the time, but at least more than 50%.

1. He's actually doing a great job, I'm seeing all the necessary action which is all that's really needed. X-ray is a personal preference and helps newer players understand what's happening, but I'm absolutely fine with it being off. 2. Yeah this looks like an oversight, I imagine they thought it would be a one sided affair in Titan's favour. Or maybe they don't have enough bandwidth/room to have two streams running at the same time? It would explain why the official stream quality is pretty average. 3. Major delays? Did you not watch Clutch-Con? The match was delayed by 35 minutes, not ideal at all but it's better than a 12 hour delay. 4. Does it matter if you don't know them? The guy casting with Anders was great.

1. Absolute bullshit. X-ray is necessary in a game like CS:GO, since there's always some underlying tactic which you can't see if x-ray is off. 2. That does not excuse the horrible planning. 3. Did you not know that ClutchCon was bullshit anyways? They are not a QUALIFIER for a MAJOR. 4. It matters because he's on the same level as Cadian.
