Does CS:GO even do BO5s?


Yes but it's rare, BO5s can last up to 5+ hours so it's pretty stressful on the players and organizers.

CS:GO isnt a free game thou

that should balance things a lot better

Give SC2 to Valve and you will have 400k+ viewers in no time

while I agree with you, I suspect the numbers to be slightly (like less than 1%) inflated by the incentive people are given to watch the tourney, the item drops and stuff. Its a pretty smart move by the developers but I'm sure people are gaming the system with smurfs.

Awesome GF so far but got bummed out when I realised it was bo3 instead of bo5.


I suspect it to be much more than 1% to be honest. People are running a lot of bots to get better chances at the drops.

uh. not really, unfortunately. :c


The stream numbers are hard to ignore. LoL is a lot bigger in terms of overall players though

more than 80% are in asia

but in term of current viewers in the west this week end cs:go did better than LoL iirc

Yeah I wish. I've played csgo since its inception, and enjoy the game. With that said I personally wouldn't say that its a better or more tactically interesting game than Bw/sc2 or any of the quake games. I think a lot of the popularity does revolve around the skins and the relatively simple mechanics in relation to lol or other popular games.

MM would be unplayable lol. Even with the game at 50% off this weekend for the major it will be pretty bad the next couple weeks for match makers.

yea, valve made cs:go came back to life with the skins etc, so it got bigger

getting bigger it will automatically attract more people, it's a snowball effect

I mean it's a little exhausting just to watch, never mind play it in front of 100K live viewers.


Don't need it in CS imo. In 1.6 though there were some double elim tournaments Bo3 where the final could be 2xBo3 if the team from the loser's bracket won the first Bo3. Historically there's been a lot of Bo1 even in playoffs.
