and it's not even close.. BLAST segments in-between matches are cringe af. Always with pros playing some corny, "funny" games IEM segments are much cooler, with STUNNA and Janko, Also they have some interesting CS history segments Over all, Blast production feels childish and forced, compared to IEM which feels more mature and natural. IEM also plays cooler music, and have better crowd interacti

True, it's one of the few things ESL does better. Then again, not every TO is owned by the Saudi state and can afford to pump out shoulder content.

was thinking about mlg columbus, tbf i have no idea how much money did they have, but when u do that huge ammount of content its not the money issue alone, but u had to actually care to do it, blast is to lazy to announce the talent so i doubt they would ever send some1 to other country to make an interview

whats so clueless about it? blast have shown over the years that their bar is having jake lucky do conent for them, but u will still act like its all about the money. Dude, u do realise that fuckin ynk on random rlewis stream did provide more info about the background of the guy like cypher than blast did during that entire major, doing a 3 min video for example about the player is not the money problem, jake lucky did cost more than it, delusion at its finest i see

they were fun because they were so raw, nowadays blast is trying too hard and the bar is not even high in everything they do, starladder was just going with the flow carried by talent and casters, they could say whatever they wanted and make the show entertaining
