Viewer Question Could you ask what the coaches had to do if the Bug appears? I mean especial in Pita case. People say he report it but only to Valve and not to ESL. But he should report it to the ESL immediately or?

I mean, obviously you would be reporting it to the Organizer first even before Valve. You have admins online during the games, report them about what you encountered and you are all done. What ever they tell you to do after that, do that. If you are late as even as one round., there is no clear indication that you used that but for your advantage or not

2020-09-07 11:28

I want the answer from a real Referee, cuz many on HLTV says he did nothing wrong cuz he reported the bug to valve, but probably never mention that he had it in an official match.

Question to Taz Does to consider to be coach or analyst on desk like Maniac. Pimp etc

2020-09-07 13:30

???? Very nice Englando

2020-09-07 15:28

its not about english here , did you ever watch interview with kennyS , or shox , zeus , flame and s1mple long time ago ? they had a problem with english also. no one was laughing at them. This is an international site, people try to write in English and they don't have to be perfect. Why this hate, I don't understand the purpose of writing something like this Metric !

2020-09-07 16:58

Because I couldn't understand what he said. No hate though just casual banter.

2020-09-07 17:10

Question to Taz: how is suffering with complete mald?

2020-09-07 13:33

BnTet the only polish hope

2020-09-07 13:35

very nice

2020-09-07 14:02

Why so early? You used to run the show around 20 GMT iirc, why not stick to that?

2020-09-07 14:30

maybe due to scheduling issues for some of the players involved in today's segment

2020-09-07 15:08

Michau my hero

2020-09-07 15:11

His Valorant talk is so much on point. That's how adults discuss instead of throwing shit at each other.

2020-09-07 15:19

Lmao valulrant

2020-09-07 15:29

Looks interesting actually

2020-09-07 15:27

As always, awesome show. Really good job!

2020-09-07 17:32

Viewers question are gone cuz Spunj has nothing else to do than to make a pointless speech for 10 minutes. Maybe focus more on the topic and less on your ego. Except that I watch the stream when Prof is there you need at least one smart person in the room.

2020-09-07 18:41

they need to talk about BnTeT

2020-09-07 19:18

This episode was a lot of Spunj ranting. He makes some good points but studies the whole english language on the way to his point. We want to hear from other people too..
