that was a crazy good match (except the DDOS)
these two
slight modification needs to be made to the first though
Gambling with heavy DDOS elements & light FPS elements
betting has to involve some sort of risk though
Hahahahah ... now I'm sad.
Why are these teams allowed to cycle through several standins no questions asked? It's fine in sports where teams have set rosters for switching purposes but we can't afford that in esports (yet). The way it's being handled in CS right now you might just as well fake a ddos to sneak in a much stronger player, and that's ignoring the utterly terrible viewer experience.
Unless rules force players to protect themselves I don't see this shit show ending anytime soon.

Standins used to be the exception and would rarely happen.
And faking a ddos normally wouldn't make sense for these teams because they are used to playing together with tactics and eevrything so using a standin normally isn't really a good alternative.
How much did you bet?
lol that's amazing.
So did ddos
Sure it wouldn't be the norm, what I'm saying is these matches are compromised to hell and back and apparently players would rather go through multiple standins per round than protect their asses. Tournament rules need to incorporate the reality of ddos if the organizers want to deliver a compelling product.
3 keys, a lot by my standards
Yeah I normally don't even go average on matches like this. I only bet like $1.20 on HR.
Sommler getting pissed lol
I mean I knew it was risky, HR are pretty damn inconsistent. Got tricked into betting more than I should have by the lack of matches today.

Actually I still think it might be 1-1 right now. But your are right, it definitely would have gone down differently.
Played a match last night where off the bat we were down a man. Why accept a match if you can't play. Fed up of solo-queuing.
If this is on the players just not protecting themselves, then after three pauses it should be a forfeit.
If this is on Valve
then we're fucked. about the only thing that would fix that is CSGOLounge shutting down.
If this is on Valve
because I think someone mentioned that you can't even properly mask servers in CS
And don't forget E-gaming bets.
Individual players getting ddosed is generally on them (well, and the shitheads with their scripts obviously), the server thing only applies to the entire server being attacked, which happens rarely.
Na as long as the game isn't cancelled or one team forfeits, bets normally stay on.
People cry all the time anyway.
And there they end it. So skins should be returned.
Sommler "ending this farce", HR getting the win, let's see how CSGL handles this.
Yeah, skins should probably be returned. Sure glad I'm not losing mine though lol

These two are too funny
Yeah I am with you. I bet on HR and am pretty worried.
- Edit: Was in a meeting, so guess it's over?
Looks like it. DDoSers won again. But I'm glad they put their foot down. It really has been a farce. Now watch HR taking a brief lead on the first map for the next DDoS.
Pretty much... Or at least it seems semmler made them forfeit
Yeah, after Property went through like four standins and a dozen pauses Sommler/RoomOnFire admins weren't having any more of this shit and gave the win to HR.
Yea... Good luck with that "safe" lol
1 its season
2 MG isn't someone you can easily push over but if you break them early they will lose.
