ESL One Cologne

#1

Please tell me you guys watched the ESL One Cologne CSGO?!

It was INSANE! Both teams in the finals were not predicted to make it to the finals at all.
Navi vs BIG

Navi have quite a new roster, but some of the best individual players in CSGO, S1mple being the best player in the world at the moment!

BIG was an under dog team from the start of the tournament, but they took down major teams!

The finals was a best of 5 and actually went to a 4th map. Navi taking it 3-1.

Was some of the Best CSGO I have watched in a very long time!

Cologne: Lanxess-Arena is regarded as the Cathedral of Counter Strike is always amazing and the crowd is insane. Would LOVE to go watch a match there one day!

I like the idea of esports but I don’t really watch it.

I’m like Soli, I like the idea but don’t watch. Hell I don’t even watch Soccer or Rugby anymore.

It is something most of us can associate with and understand. I guess why most gamers do not watch eSports is because they do not know enough about it. They do not know the teams, players or even when/where to watch it.

I struggle to sit for hours and watch a streamer play a game, but a eSports match I can watch the whole day!

The production value has gotten so good. The casters are knowledgeable and make the game exciting even for someone like my wife (yes she watched with me).

I’ve been away and haven’t had access to any form of streaming. But I do enjoying watching the occasional CSGO pro game. It’s great to see that amazing skills and tactics the teams employ - and know that I will never be that good :sweat_smile:

The signal wasn’t great where we were and I don’t have much 3G data. But also, I like to take a break from technology when I’m away

Very true! Doesn’t help going on holiday and then dragging the technology along

I just cannot, I dont get the appeal of watching streamers and official games, I have tried, but it is just not for me

Streamers different than watching a match with casters and analysts.
I get much more excitement from watching a Pro CSGO Finals than watching Rugby
