I always have a browser on with low quality and muted, but if you watch with ads, I especially hate how they seem to lag your entire stream AND are much higher in sound. I mean, I don't need the entire building to hear about some random ad...

If you are saying otherwise, you clearly haven't seen the last top tier PvPs. One could say, based upon these games, MC seems to really understand PvP and is a toplevel player in that matchup. I think Mc understands how to play a series better than just about anyone more than anything I dunno. There was this dude called Mvp. Hence the "just about" :p

If these games weren't skill-based, any GM player would have been able to beat Stardust twice, and that's really not the case.

No it's the ads themselves. They come from some shit server in Canada, and the ad itself tries to load multiple videos at the same time as sort of a multilayed ad. I've messaged twitch about it multiple times, but it's not like they give a shit.

There's a lot of metagaming, tiny windows, high potential for risks and aggression. It's a very tough matchup to enjoy if you don't understand what is going on. An ofcourse, the tech choice is usually blind, which sometimes causes silly shit, but mostly, if you look very carefully, not a single player randomly pulls the killswitch in a normal game - there's always a sign of weakness.
