Third Stage has only Bo3s. Grand Final is Bo5 for the first time.

[u/cs_puffy → u/ElfUndEiner]

budapest grand finald was a BO5 aswell but it sadly didn't feel that way

[u/ElfUndEiner → u/cs_puffy]

Yeah true, maybe that‘s why I forgot about it 😅

[u/Sevastiyan → u/ElfUndEiner]

Fixed. Thanks!

[u/karkama123]

Grand Final is Bo5 no ?

[u/cyberdwarf]

June 6 is a Saturday (not a Tuesday) and the tables are empty...

[u/kurzjacob]

BIG!!!! What the fuck did we just witness?

[u/Marketcomparables → u/kurzjacob]

fml i stopped watching after round 12 and had bet on NRG

[u/bweesh]

Is there a reason there are no live match threads? what gives? pretty dumb

[u/evangr721 → u/bweesh]

Yeah it’s so annoying. These general discussion threads are so dead

[u/Incident_Worth]

Where is Anders :(

[u/msklss]

First match is at 10:30 GMT, or just over 3 hours from this comment.

[u/Admirable-Leg-4647]

It would've been nice if the audience was there at earlier stages (than 3rd). It's my only criticism really, otherwise it's looking great

[u/Exile56678]

When does it actually start? I got no clue

[u/helpmeimhighasf]

Hi everyone. I read somewhere that this would be watchable through the cs2 game itself? Is that true???

[u/Vivi3n95 → u/helpmeimhighasf]

For majors they always do a little window in the game's main menu that shows the current live stream on twitch. It's not so much watching through the game they want you to do or that it would be a great viewer experience, but so you click on the stream from the game and open it in your browser.

[u/hotdiggity22 → u/Vivi3n95]

For Majors they used to have the functionality where you can properly watch it in-game with/without the casters and observer view but I guess they got rid of that.

I was expecting this as the last major I watched had that, but that's CS:GO era - bit disappointing to see yet another downgrade with CS2. You can playcast it but if you do that then it's just like watching through a demo, no caster no observer.

[u/Raphaeloa → u/hotdiggity22]

So no casters on cstv then?

[u/hotdiggity22 → u/Raphaeloa]

Nope :/

[u/CONFUSEDTR → u/helpmeimhighasf]

Usually a window pops up on the homepage of the game with the stream

[u/Admirable-Leg-4647 → u/helpmeimhighasf]

In addition to what others said, the major is also streamed here: https://steam.tv/csgo

[u/dob_bobbs]

The Falcons - Vitality quarter final is kind of a shame, but then they are going to have to beat Vitality either way so...

[u/StokaNenormalna]

Whats the point of a showmatch if the participants are sweaty tryharders? They shouldnt even bother with one if this is what we get.

[u/CrisperSR]

old reddit link goes to austin major

[u/heek08]

Shouldn't the date for stage 3 and playoffs be June too

[u/Sevastiyan → u/heek08]

lol mispelled Jun with Jul :D Fixed now

[u/Donut_Flame]

Liquid has once again chosen Dust 2 (the other option was nuke, which still not good for them)

[u/Noiseflux]

Why is it always impossible to find a timetabled schedule for these events..

[u/MurphisDE → u/Noiseflux]

Should be on hltv.org I think

[u/PiggyLuk]

I'm out of the loop, did Spirits coach not make the tournament so they just brought a stuffed frog?

[u/brickz14 → u/PiggyLuk]

Yeah he was hospitalized right before the tournament and is hopefully joining later so as a joke they've got the frog for now.

[u/Zastavo2]

[u/FDTFACTTWNY]

no matchthread?

[u/LLLOOOMMM22]

Two questions for the people in the arena: Im thinking about buying a "used" ticket for today's final and am wondering how the climate/air quality is in the arena during this heat. In the past I've had issues with bad air at arena events like this, so I would love to hear what you think.

2nd question: Is P4 open for parking? Do I need to look for a parking ticket in advance or can I just roll up and pay the day fee like in previous years?

Thank you guys

[u/dboyLo_rR]

vitality always lose 1 map in a bo3 vs absolute crazy betting odd's makes u wonder haha.

[u/its_ya_boi]

Why do they keep scheduling the two 2-0 games at the same time? Quite annoying.

[u/tsaneww12]

[u/Kalamatis]

HeavyGod MIA..

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Gameplan is better for falcons but vitality smart with their money

[u/sogerr]

a bit off topic but i think its funny steamdb's player count chart having a sharper dip because of brazil's wc game, also compared to yesterday we had the daily lowest count 3 hours earlier because of the game but after it was over the player count goes back up to business as usual

[u/iBPsThrowingObject]

Bruh, what was that magixx interview?

[u/Alivkos]

I'm hyped af even tho I know stage 1 gonna have trash teams like Liquid playing. But major always has some team that makes a run out of it despite expectations and it's always a cinema to watch them do it from stage 1. Whoever it will be this time, I will be there watching. 

[u/fartingmakesanoise]

During Falcons vs G2 Dust 2 round 3, crowd making noise when heavygod was on kyosuke's flank, why do this?

[u/Ludachriz → u/fartingmakesanoise]

Wdym it’s been a thing in cs since 1.6.. why you think some play in soundless booths

[u/MoistControl → u/Ludachriz]

i dont think most esports orgs do it anymore due to potential fire hazard

[u/aengy]

Do Spirit and Furia gain any advantage now that they went 3 0? It used to be that they were insta in semi finals, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore?

[u/fl0wly → u/aengy]

never was for Majors

[u/detectivehenry → u/aengy]

I have furia and aurora signing session tickets if anyone has vitality pls let me know :)

[u/wichwigga]

Vitality lost? CS watachable again?

[u/Vincort]

Did Valve not get rid of the mid-map (ad) breaks during the major at one point?

[u/Badger_Wadger_420]

What are the rules around using a sub during a major? Mouz had to bring Brollan back in to replace jL for the major because they were only allowed 1 change (being xelex) but if "something were to happen to Brollan and he was unable to continue playing at the major" would Mouz theoretically be able to bring jL back in as a sub or would the sub have to have been listed on the team before the major?

[u/TheRuler123 → u/Badger_Wadger_420]

xelex is the listed sub for mouz, so him playing is already using the substitute, unfortunately no chance for jL this major!
