2014-03-11 17:34

The fact that steel is observing makes all the difference in the world. Can't wait

But there is only one official stream :'( They wont be covering 50% of the group matches on the official dream :( We are going to hear 1 for 1 trade for the rest of the matches.

Multi-Twitch it, mute Anders stream, and then you can watch both the matches at the same time, whilst listening to the official stream?

2014-03-11 19:13

Anders stream will be streaming whatever game that the official stream isn't streaming.

2014-03-11 19:19

But 1 for 1 trade? :(

You do realise you could just watch in game? :P

2014-03-11 19:23

too boring without casters :( I wish it could be like Dreamhack, 2 official streams running simultaneously! Would have been sweet!

2014-03-11 19:35

You still wouldn't have avoided your initial problem?

2014-03-11 19:39

I don't see the problem here. Official stream, streams 50% of the matches and NiPTV streams the other half. You won't miss a match if you have both open just like with Dreamhack.

2014-03-12 01:22

Why would you mute Anders? Get another monitor instead and watch EVERYTHING :D

2014-03-12 10:56

reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/20.. You will also get drops from watching NiPTV and i guess Anders is gonna stream the matches the official stream aren't Edit: didn't see Gumpsters replies

2014-03-11 22:08

lets go Lgb :D

2014-03-11 17:31

I am hoping for a 1 hour delay on sunday :/ rest of the matches is all covered up. I don't get why they are playing it so soon :(

because of lol and sc2 grandfinals scheduled later

I was kinda expecting that... it sucks but hopefully I am getting a way to see it.

Friday, March 14th: 13:00 Quarter-final #1 16:00 Quarter-final #2 19:00 Quarter-final #3 Saturday, March 15th 13:00 Quarter-final #4 Are the teams from A and C group the quarterfinal matches #1 and #2 and are the teams from B and D group in quarterfinal matches #3 and #4 on saturday? I need to know this for my dreamteam,dont want to pick players from the teams that wont play on saturday at all...

"In the playoffs the teams will face each other in a single elimination bracket. The bracket will be drawn when the group stage comes to an end. The first round will be a team that finished in first place in the group versus a team that finished in second in another group. All games during the playoffs will be best of three." The draw is randomly done for QFs.

2014-03-11 17:35

crap... And they really need to do double elimination playoffs for big tournaments like this..

Why?

2014-03-11 17:45

because u can have a match worthy of finals in quarterfinals already if someone lets say fail 1 match in their groups,i know it lasts much longer that way but it would be better. Last time on Dreamhack winter it was also like this and i remember that i wanted to see i think dignitas vs fnatic ,but it was impossible because they were on the other side of the bracket :(

2014-03-11 17:51

Good luck for HeelRisers
