in terms of economics, probably not since the partnered teams provide alot of money since they can afford it. Although at the same time, if ESL or Blast as named in this don't comply with what Valve seemingly wants for the esports scene when CS2 comes along, they may get screwed over by losing their tournament license that they've had for years.
One of the few redeeming qualities of this company.

Good. Don't go the path of Blizzard or any other.
One of the few redeeming qualities Valve has left is shit like this.

people say W but when the next major comes and they don't get to see the same partners teams play the same strats against each other in the semi finals they will cry yet again

I didn't make a mistake, I was refering to how everyone was crying when the playoffs in paris had supposed tier 2 teams while partner teams were shat on
2 replies
what you are missing is that these partner teams lose regularly to tier 2 teams because they rarely play them. If the tourney circuit was more open and tier 1 teams got exposed more to the non partnered teams the tier 1 teams would either learn how to play against them or would realize they don't belong in tier 1. for example imagine gamer legion got lots of top 8 finishes in big tournaments before coming to the major. no one would say that they are tier 2 shitters that got lucky. right now teams like that barely even get a chance to qualify to big tournaments.
no this is what we want. No partner teams and whoever is best wins just like it is. Idk what you mean people crying, maybe you spend too much time on hltv and reddit?
He's pointing out the hypocrisy of people.
no such thing as partner teams in Majors. And if this means Valve can screw them over for shit like this then they should.
yeah but if other teams can reach playoffs in regular tournaments, they have a chance to garner some fans
Cringe
No one cares about FPL pug teams
"B-but this random top 30 team reached semis even tho they get destroyed in every quali!!!!"
No one cares about fluke teams. Coping clowns can just look at viewership and see. How many people were watching ITB vs Apeks in Elisa? 5k? Where are the guys that enjoy "watching good CS"? HAHAHAHAHAHA CLOWNS

ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? Switch G2 vs Imp to Elisa and ITB vs Apeks to Blast with random teams that no one cares about and the "washed up teams" would still shit on ITB's viewership
Blast is not big because of Blast, you animal, theyre big because of G2, NaVi, FURIA, FaZe. If all these teams moved to Elisa then Elisa would get the viewers. GO READ A FUCKING BOOK, you're too dumb to be wasting your time in HLTV, NOW

Go enjoy your free CSGO entertainment and stop replying dumb shit, go read a fucking book so you can start to grasp how an entertainment industry with 0 fees makes profit
And I can spoil you already how they do NOT make profit: by averaging 7k viewers per game
You're so low IQ hahahahahahahah
Yo where the fuck is my reply? Explain to me why "choke washed up teams" are getting 61 times the viewership of ITB vs Apeks.
I'm waiting, cmon, lil boy, explain why teams that bring 0 viewership or interest are good for an entertainment industry
Fking clowns I swear to God HAHAHAHAHAHA

its a competition first, and an entertainment spectacle second. prestigious tournaments need to have the best teams in the world, not the teams with the most fans. if that means 300k viewer finals i dont give a fuck. if you care more about entertainment than competition, go watch WWE
The only fluke is how teams like BIG, EG, Astralis, Col, Fnatic and co can keep getting "parter invites" even tho they are trash teams while tier 2 teams clearly are better, just look at the major.

Tell me what furia have done in blast? Furia is a top 10 team ish, right? Then why are they not playing in blast when there is 12 spots?
You are so delusional. You wanted 4-8 teams to win tournament with only one possible winner.
How you cann't understand, that more invites teams gets - bigger chance to make results they have.
You are calling Major fluke, but this is actually the only full open event in the game. And this is where teams are facing reality. And reality is that half of partnered teams are just pure trash with paid spots.

thought everyone can compete, just had to qualify
5 replies
Yes, but its harder when trash teams like NIP / BIG have insta-invite. Slots are very limited.
yeah but ESL and Blast also insta-invite certain teams aka "partner teams". That's why slots are often limited. Which back then probably wouldn't gotten much air since people get to always see the top teams. But fast forward, it's just a massive nuisance since half of those teams are a shadow of what they originally were and are a waste of a spot.

there are many closed off tournaments and some tournaments that have qualifier spots have like 2 spots and 10 teams are invited.
So at it's best - it's not fair.
Thing like blast world finals, I get that's closed because qualifiers are actually previous events. Other sports have those kinds of events, like "masters tournament" where only top X players/teams are invited.
But again, in those scenarios it's world ranking that acts as a qualifier so it's not as closed as these circle jerking tournaments in CSGO.

Yes a test that they will implement into the game. I doubt they are going back with weapon loadout/buy menu
3 replies
they are testing a specific PART of what they want to introduce to the game.
MM is not part of that test, not in this iteration. So there's 0 reason to give feedback on it because you are not testing that.
It's like eating a pork chop in order to write a review on a tea shop - it just makes no fucking sense.
Buy menu is good, old one was worse, cry as much as you want. Only drawback is no use of troll weapons. But that opens up other avenues, if no one equips PP Bizon then maybe Volvo fixes it.
2 replies
troll weapon? only guns that could be considered troll are negev and the big negev
1 reply
PP Bizon is just a troll weapon, it has nothing going for it. Same damage per shot as MP9 but worse fire rate.
P90 is better if you want that drum mag.
Spray pattern is terrible for bizon as well, despite the fact that it's much more controllable than MP9 because of the sheer weight of the magazine and the ammo.
It's like bad MP5 that's not suppressed and has a worse recoil. All while MP5 is something no one uses over MP7 because MP7 is actually a good gun.
english illiteracy at its finest right here. Beta test means beta test.

Do u know how much money have Valve earned from CS? dexerto.com/csgo/valve-reportedly-making.. imagine earning so so so much money just to product 2 majors in a year with 1m Biden per major xD
i dont understand anything... when they release cs 2?
Some questions:
Why are ESL executives at the Blast Major? Very suspicous.
Why are Valve trying to force private companies to do things?
9 replies
For one, a meeting was made.
For two, CS is their IP and thus they can do as they please which includes shit like this. And Valve is also a private company and has more power over them. If they refuse to comply with Valve, Valve is more than happy to screw them over.

Anyone can organize a CS:GO tournament. I don't need to get a "license" from Valve.
6 replies
You dont. But ESL and Blast do. And if they don't comply with what Valve seemingly wants for CS2, then they get screwed out of getting their license to hold tournaments. Meaning no more ESL or Blast tournaments.
2 replies
Why would Blast and ESL need a license but not me? Both private companies just organizing a tourney?

They're doing it for profit. Large money's involved. While your broke ass would likely do it for fun.

No offense but just dont fucking talk if u dont understand it,
1 reply
maybe, just maybe, orgs should stop paying $10 mil for an ESL permanent spot and ??? for a BLAST premier spot and ask for an open circuit where they can qualify without paying an admission fee. but they won't do that cuz they know they won't have guaranteed exposure time at the biggest events anymore, so less sponsors will be willing to pump money in this fake and on-life-support shitshow we call esports nowadays
but as long as they have vc money to burn, let them pay for invitations

I like the idea of cs esports valve has, but unless they actually do something outside just stickers there is no other way to go forward than partner teams and saudi subsidies.
