2015-06-12 16:45

if i d like to watch clowns i d go to a circus, not turning on cs stream

2015-06-12 16:50

So sad that you wont watch. We all are devestated by this news

2015-06-12 19:12

Great mentality

2015-06-12 19:30

noice

2015-06-12 16:37

meh

navi won't get out of groups, mark my words!

2015-06-12 16:47

kinguin will top group B

2015-06-12 16:38

nice ;D nip win

FIFLAREN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are they broadcasting the qualifiers?

omg, retard crew again. again unwatchable english stream. thorin can do his autistic videos about past but the point is he knows jack shit about actual, PRESENT cs so he has no place on live events. there is plenty of better people to be experts. 2 experts like threat, izak, taz, sgares, getright, kuben, neo, nbk, moses or anyone with actual knowledge and decent speaking skills. add a host like tosspot, megaman ddk, joe miller or even fucking machine to keep the flow and we are golden.

2015-06-12 19:03

ez group exit for titan

any stream for the byoc qual ?

2015-06-12 16:42

NIP ez group as always lol.

Might be because they won DHS 2014?!

2015-06-12 18:14

Nah i swear every LAN they have a good group.

2015-06-12 20:01

Well, there's at least a reason for now :/

2015-06-12 20:33

nip vs kinguin, maikeleles revenge

haha would be nice to see Maikelele eyeing allu across the table.

2015-06-12 16:43

I wish they actually gave out the money in cash. I think it will show how much it actually it. (prolly like a bundle that fits in your hand or both hands )

The byoc starts tomorrow Saturday 13th...

Are the BYOC qualifiers broadcasted?

2015-06-12 16:49

ez 4 navi

NIP will come in the top 4 and fanbois be like "Bitches NIP was 2nd at the event" Easiest first round match...and invited..

No Dreamteam :?

2015-06-12 17:01

been a while since a lan had a decent caster lineup

2015-06-12 17:05

Hope for coverage of BYOC. Also, seeds/brackets for that announced? If not, when? It's pretty interesting with dignitas, kinguin, acer etc.

2015-06-12 17:06

only Izak !!!

Thorin in all the good tourneys... Why, just why do we have to listen to his toxic autistic banter ?

2015-06-12 17:11

grand final NIP vs Fnatic

ez money 4 NaVi

2015-06-12 17:19

threat :33

2015-06-12 17:21

I really don't understand why they don't have a BYOC-qualifier in each group, it makes no sense at all.

2015-06-12 17:31

its to get an extra playday for BYOC tommorow while 1. group is played.

2015-06-12 17:50

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for info.

2015-06-12 19:01

no envy, no tsm, no vp no fun

2015-06-12 17:35

Kinguin and Dignitas from BYOC prolly

2015-06-12 17:38

Flipsid3 wins the tournament, mark my words.

2015-06-12 17:43

How do you guys know the teams from BYOC? Twitter infos? Or can I see that information anywhere?

2015-06-12 17:44

Yeah, it will probably be anounced tomorrow. For now, we at least know that Kinguin will be there.

2015-06-12 17:57

2015-06-13 17:31

A real test for Titan et Nip, can they still have a chance to beat fnatic/navi ?

2015-06-12 17:48

i think BYOC qualifier win this cup

2015-06-12 17:59

"Duncan "Thorin" Shields" so all we'll hear how historically great and amazing fnatic is & remember titan has to face them otherwise he'll be disappointed.

Haha very true "historical classic match-up!"

2015-06-12 18:44

Once again bo1 groupstage ... dreamhack so retarded

2015-06-12 18:00

im pretty sure ddk will be Interviewer no?

2015-06-12 18:02

TSM , VP , nV , HR , Mousesports , Keyd , C9 ? 2/10 lan. Easy money Fnatic :)

Final only in Swedish wtf is this? You have 2 of the best casters to cast it? And on TV6? Wtf Dreamhack?

2015-06-12 18:05

It's the eSport SM final, not the DHS final :)

2015-06-12 18:20

Thats just the swedish cup

2015-06-12 18:23

nicely read

2015-06-12 18:24

oh shit my bad lol :D

2015-06-12 21:56

cant wait

2015-06-12 18:09

Can't wait to see the salty tears from the Twitch chat when Thorin comes on :)

Can't wait to close the chat when NiP is playing

2015-06-12 18:21

ez kinguin.

Can't wait to hear 3 min long conversations between the casters about the most trivial and irrelevant stuff in CS. Somebody please step up and replace these hype casters already, I am tired of listening to noobs acting as if they understood CS strategy.

you dont enjoy listening "my top x of sth totally out of ass(w8, ive reaed some news about lan results 3 months ago so im an expert!" every 2 minutes from some no clue dudes who force you to familiar you with their "opinions"? fool!

2015-06-12 18:34

my head hurts so much, I used to enjoy a lot the international events back in 1.6, in GO I have to mute it.

2015-06-12 22:08

Caster - Commentator - hype/commentate play that happens. Nothing expert or hard about that. And they do a brilliant job at that. Do you cry everytime you watch football and people just state the obvious "he passed to him, he shot with his left foot he's not left footed! but still a good goal! wd wd i like him". It's in all "sports" and I really don't know why CS should be different. for expert analysis of play you have the show afterwards with the ANALYST desk, which is still decent but could be better for this event. However, the casters do a great job and without those 2 particularly the scene might've never developed (twitch scene :p )

2015-06-12 18:47

It's true that it's like that in every sport, however it really gets boring when it's always the same shitty casters for every event. The demand for new and better casters for CSGO is big.

2015-06-12 19:18

maybe it's just me but I don't really get bored of that, it's the game that's different. It's probably because in our 3rd world country we have like max 2 casters (1 per game ofc) in football xD

2015-06-12 22:49

I used to watch all the 1.6 events back when there were any. The commentators were mostly old pros like lurppis, threat, carn and so on, hearing them was a pleasure because they understood the game on a different level. I'd say that semmler and anders haven't even played 5v5 enough, they get mega excited for stuff that happens at every random pug. I really don't enjoy these guys, I think there are many better options in the scene, not exactly other current casters but sure, you can put hiko in a suit and he will do a much finer job than any of these newbs.

2015-06-13 00:46

ofc everyone has their preference and opinions towards that. me i just kinda don't care and listen to whatever casting it is (as long as it's in english so I can understand it) and follow the match as it goes :p

2015-06-13 01:38

Anders and semmler should never cast together, they are both play-by-play casters, so they should always be paired with a color-commentator/expert. I don't fancy their casting style, but I can see why some might do, and I don't really mind if they scream every time kennyS noscopes someone. The thing that makes me cringe is when they start to analyze the game, it's actually painful to listen to, because they don't have the knowledge needed. If cs had a couple of knowledgeable full-time color-commentators, the viewing experience would be so much better. CS really lacks some great casters, but hopefully that will change in time.

2015-06-13 02:38

Haha you've got a good point there, they are indeed play-by-play casters and analyzing is not their strong suit :D maybe Anders/Semmler paired with Fiffy!

2015-06-13 22:56

and i supose you and the other retards knows so much more its actually funny how you tend to complain but fact is that you obviously dont know shit.

2015-06-12 22:16

I played 1.6 for like 10 years. Since I was 11 or 12 to 21 yo. I've seen many better casters in the tens of events I've watched. I am well above your run pew pew run skill level, small son.
