Legit this major has made me interested in watching pro cs again. The past year and a half has been so boring, then come the play offs and it's some of the most fun cs I've ever watched. Congrats and well done to everyone involved to bring it together.
This was my first time getting to work with PGL for co-streaming and while there were some hiccups and miscommunications early on, they were very nice to work with and getting to watch along the entire process was an awesome experience! Time zones damn near ruined me but RIch and Dusts mad ramblings made the entire process well worth it. GGs to the whole production team the desks were some of the best ive watched at a major and considering the issues being remote thats an absolute achievement for everyone involved.
Surely a fanbase that is complaining nonstop about cheaters in the online matchmaking of a game would be mindful to not participate in cheating when it comes to professional play... right?
You are an absolue gem to the scene, Richard. I just hope one day I will be able to have a drink with you at one of these events. I am glad you are active again.
Yeah i have no idea who all these interviews were for. It’s annoying for the players cuz they’re trying to focus and get their head in the game, it’s annoying for the desk to be constantly interrupted, and it’s taking even more time to try and get to the actual game. One interview when they walk out between the IGL’s and that’s it.
My twist on your fix for pistol rounds is not to start with 10k but with something that would be enough for some sort of a buy, like 2 rifles and 3 smg's or 3 rifles and deagles depending on what you do with armor/utility. I think that would be more interesting to warm into the game, I do not know the exact amount for that, somewhere just north of 3.5k
Screw things like rugby/tennis/snooker when talking about the crowd cheating stuff, if someone at a poker tournament yelled out 'they have two aces' they are getting ejected.
If reddit thought me one thing it's that people would rather sit down and scream at their problems rather then actually look up solutions to their problems.
10:00 swoozie cameo if you are on 2x. Also if PGL still has regular issues compared to ESL and Blast since stockholm but they pay me moni so they are good guys, nothing they could've done, they actually saved a puppy from a wildfire inside my toilet after I ate chipotle. Got it old man.

@@RLewisReports Ignore if you didn't find it funny. I just wrote it as a joke as I did not get convinced by your defense for PGL's production. Good work on the broadcast! (Especially during all those tech pauses)
This was the first major since dreamhack winter 2014 that I didn't watch a single second of. I guess I realized I just don't care enough anymore. Sucks for me I guess because I used to love watching cs.
if anything Skullz is putting up a statement why TL picked him up, sad it didn't work out, love the BR boys, Zews, Fallen and all that scene, is pretty cool to see as always. ;) Skullz pulling that off was way too out of this world, I wouldn't blame anyone ;)
Genuinely curious, what would you show inbetween rounds instead of the crowd? It's only like 20-30 seconds so what could you realistically do? Show an ad every 2 minutes like they do in american football? I guess you can try to get a POV replay at the end but that would also become stale very quick, especially if it's the same perspective we've seen a mere 10 seconds ago so you'd need people to keep track of all 10 POVs to get a good shot from a new perspective and that's got to be too much effort from a personel standpoint.
PS: love the content, I don't have the time to watch nearly everything you produce but I really enjoy the new positive Rich that isn't cynical every second of the day Regards 😉
i don't think pistols should go, but they have to adjust the economy, so that winning pistol rounds wouldn't have such a huge impact on the game. At least leave behind the full eco rounds or something
When it comes to Bo5's, we've been especially spoiled this year with quality Bo5s. All of them, apart from Kato, have been at least, not actively shit to watch and have been good games, which is probably why the calls for bo5s in Major Finals is louder than it's ever been.
I dunno man, magixx interviews were good in the play-off, aside from the finals. Prob tired cause he has to do most of the interview, since most Western studio don't want the optic of showing a Russian speaking Russian. I agree with not forcing an interview with everyone after a finals. I would suggested a press conference sorta thing but players prob wouldn't have anything to say. Although, they can bring their PR guy in with them.
almost spat out my drink when you said "look away boombl4 if you are watching" during the proposal in the crowd. Legend
That was a highlight for sure
Almost woke up my house then
That was soo funny truly a laugh out loud moment
Much love brother ❤
A master of his craft, it was excellent to see a real pro doing his job

Last time I was this early, Richard had luscious long flowing locks
Those locks strangled someone at a Dreamhack event I heard
@@mikes.4855 A "hell in a cell" type cage match If I recall correctly
Love the videos sir
Stay well
Never change
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
❤

I like how pgl and you guys manage to to deliver a good experience in that situation. Well done.
Loved seeing you on the broadcast as usual Rich, truly a class act. Hope you're doing amazing and looking forward to seeing you on more desks soon
Amazing content love hearing the stories of the major
Sorry to hear Maui was involved with your huge bleeding hole, Richard.
"I love you Overdrive" is a reference to to "I love you Olofmeister" by Zeus

Really nice to hear that you got to hang out with Sam again. I hope he's doing well, talented lad
Refreshing to have you back on the desk o7
Support Comment.
all the hype of the finals ended when the team spirit interviews begun
I liked the postgame Spirit interviews
thank you for your service

whats going on with pronax?
1:55:00 I thought it was hilarious when Banks asked BLitz in the pre game on stage interview if this stage felt like home to him and he was like "nah"
wooohoooo, let's go Richard! Much love and support from dumb NA Chinese American fan xD Been waiting for you to put out a video about this. ;)

Only time I'll watch desk segments is when you're on it lad, keep doing what you're doing!
