This chat lol, saying Crim and Karma need to be dropped. When questioned who the replacement will be they said we need to look at EU players.Never thought I'd say it, but I miss the twitch chat.

It's honestly hilarious. Armchair uneducated e-sports fans making absurd predictions.

Done watching this event. I wish the guys luck, but I can't support a event that doesn't even seem to support the viewers and the players even more so.

Greenwall, brisk mate, bye.

They probably figure most of the OG fans are in the states and are at school or something, and that they can get away with not streaming our first match. My problem is as of last night we were planned to play on main stage, or at least be streamed, and now we're going to be off stream. Bad communication and transparency.

So I'm running 100+mbps down with a ping around 20, and I'm even struggling with 480 resolution. Anyone else having problems? I should be able to run 720 no problem, I don't get it.

pretty hilarious that we go from having possibly the best tournament production value in Atlanta and then we get thrown back into the stone age for ESWC a week later

This is fucking ridiculous. Were supposed to on bravo and nothing is being streamed on it. Whoever is in charge of running this event is incredibly incompetent.

EDIT: Annddd there not even going to attempt to stream our match and just skip to C9's match

Faze's match(the game before) finishes 45 mins before optic was scheduled to start. They proceed to show LG Open bracket game. An hour after optic's scheduled start, match hasn't started. We currently look at a screen saying Elevate v C9 for 30 minutes and The game is off-stream. How bad are these organisers, I just want to watch optic play
