glad caught this game live.

250+k in-game viewers, 200+k twitch viewers, USA team winning. The International for CSGO confirmed?)

I think in-game counts twitch viewers as well. Anyway it would be nice to see some bigger tournaments for CS:GO.

If you spectate from both do you double dip the chances?

yeah, same case with dota basically.

Having CSGO International in January-February would be really great imo.

I really don't want an International for CSGO. I prefer having multiple big tournaments during the year, by far. However, the prizepool for each one of them could be improved.

ESL, Dreamhack and others aren't going anywhere if TI is announced.

One big event brings more exposure to the game than two-three smaller ones. It's not about money anymore, time to built legacies, haha.

I mean the big $250,000 ESL tournaments are valve-sponsored, so yes they are going somewhere if a CSGO TI is announced

Was lucky to catch the Titan/CL9 game live too. great game. I was already chatting about the losers match too and how VOX would beat CL9 when it was in first half lol.

The titan/c9 game was the best game of the tournament so far. I have a feeling that there will be a rematch on who survives the group.

So do you guys think the popularity surge for GO recently has to do with the Betting/$$$ of items for drops and stuff like that? I was blown away by the number of people watch ESL last night

Of course it partly has, but it still has lots of people who play and love the game anyway. Pretty sure there is a good part of bots/alt accounts on the 270K watching tho

You'll be able to watch the VODs on the ESL stream after every day of the stream.

You can also download the demos in the client itself.

Epsilon vs NiP on Cobblestone, NiP gets the heavily favored CT side. Epsilon, however, has other ideas; they get 9 wins T side and then blank NiP the second half for the 16-6 win.

Dunno if NiP were just woefully unprepared for the map or just not on form, I didn't watch too closely.

nip just getting out-fragged all over the place. they were supposed to be one of the teams that started preparing earliest on the new maps but they looked totally out of their depth...

Attempting to watch this with a macbook air and a bunch of shitty laptops from 2005 make me wish twitch would switch to html5 more then anything I've ever wanted in my whole life.
