Just realised I got a drop in the Col - Mystik game last night :D

Hmm sell for £7.50 (when CS inventory starts working) or open...

How do I watch these games to get a crate drop? I try watching in cs go itself and nothing loads.

Watch here http://www.twitch.tv/esltv_cs (note that the match airing now is a replay from earlier and you won't get drops, it's only for live matches as they happen)

Make sure your steam account is connected to twitch here http://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections

If you get a drop while watching, the next time you load the game you'll get a notice that you have a new item in inventory. They are kind of rare though

Cool thanks. I dont care if its rare or not, I just feel like Im missing out on the chance not having this idle in the background while I do other stuff.

Yeah I just meant don't be surprised if you don't get one, it doesn't mean you are doing something wrong. The Katowice box is going for $8 on the community market right now so it's definitely worth trying to get.

Oh, so you don't actually get drops from GOTV?

DISAPPOINTED

Sorry, yeah, you can get drops from watching the stream in-game too. But there's no commentating and I just find it to be a lesser experience overall.

I just got back to Gold Nova 2 for the 2nd (3rd?) time... let's see how long this lasts.

Wait, wait wait...

Just so we're clear: Watching matches in GOTV doesn't give drops?

Watching GOTV through Twitch in-game or linking your Steam ID to a Twitch username to watch outside of the game gives drops?

Watching the Katowice matches in-game DOES give you drops. So does watching on twitch.tv, or even the Twitch mobile-app so long as you are logged in and your Steam account is connected. It's all gravy baby.
