  • We are just days into the open qualifier for the first ever CS2 major and s**t is already hitting the fan.
    We got teams cheating, constant delays, a whole slew of technical difficulties, and a team of TO’s that aren't resolving anything.
    This was supposed to be the true start of Counter-Strikes new era but things couldn't be worse right now.

    I think one thing that went under the radar in the middle of all this shitstorm is another " big " problem
    When you are a team without an HLTV page and face a T1/T2/T3 team, they restarted servers multiples times to give a chance to the pros to connect
    I was supposed to play against a top 100 HLTV team for my 2nd match of the qualifier and they didn't connect, timer reaches 0 and a solid 5 minutes later, they join and get ready but server crashes, we automatically think that the server just shutted down because they got DQd for No show but the server actually restarted and they did the same 2 more times making us wait for 50 minutes before having a 4th server restart and them getting ready.
    We tried reaching out to the admins with video proof but got basically left on read
    I don't wanna act like the victim but I heavily think that admins are led to "help" pros to go further in the tournament because it happened to other small teams too.
    The thing is, for some of us, this is a way to get a chance at being scouted by bigger orgs and such behaviour just let us fall under the radar when the circumstances should put us a step closer to the spotlight..

    Remember that almost all of the software surrounding tournaments is developed and maintained by the community. Valve does very little to make CS2 easy to control from a tournament perspective. This was always solved with plugins (SourceMods, usually). There isn't even a stable modding platform for CS2 yet, so expecting everything to run without hiccups is... fairly naive. The game itself clearly wasn't ready at release and the server support was almost entirely absent. (Source: I maintained Get5 since covid)

      It's is not just about the problems players have during matches. It's also about broadcasters (observers). As an experienced observer, currently it is not possible to have map overview camera binds while you are at CSTV, however you can have them if you are in spectator mode, but once again there is another problem. If you want to have campaths during live, which were possible in CS:GO, you simply can't, because CS2 doesn't have a command - spec_lerpto - yet, so you need a program called HLAE, which is technically a cheat, but there is small problem... You can't even connect to CSTV server, because direct connection to the server and CSTV has VAC (in CS:GO it was possible to join/watch GOTV with HLAE while VAC was enabled in server). Only possible solution is to disable VAC completely, so you have to rely on third party anti-cheat.
      In CS2 I have observed 2 tournaments - both couldn't afford third party anti-cheat for it. First tournament admin didn't want to run server without any anti-cheat, so, in broadcast, there was only some static map overview cameras, however in second tournament we decided to disable VAC (we didn't have any anti-cheat to it) and also closely monitor all systems trough one LAN Caffe software to see which task were running in background.
      I can imagine and I hope, that ChallengerMode will do the same thing on LAN, unless Volvo fixes server and spectator problems before Challengers stage.
      (Source: Liquipedia (and *HLTV) OlyBet CS2 Baltics and Kleverr virslīga Season 1)
      P.S. For the second tournament we used MatchZy server plugin, which is based on Get5

    As a TO/Admin, something to understand is that every issue that comes forward takes time to resolve. In no way am I defending this from happening, but typically having hundreds of issues come through for a short staffed team is almost impossible to reach out to everyone within a respectable 5/10 minute time period, especially when being asked to review footage of potential cheaters and then make an accurate judgement call. Any DQ's or punishments typically need to go through a senior, which just adds more pressure. It's most likely just down to a logistical error, something I can't imagine they'll admit to making

    • @Viktor-pb2gy
      @Viktor-pb2gy Před 5 měsíci

      Listen, cs has a few pretty defined S-tier tournaments, and then there are many more in between them.
      Basically there are 2 majors a year (=world championships) with the highest prestige there is. They are totally open so anyone can qualify, play and win them (yes, even you). They have first online open and closed qualifiers (from 3000 teams to 32). After that, there is the LAN RMRs (1 for each region). The teams that win the RMR go to the Major Challengers, Legends and Champions stage. In each, only half of the teams advance. And the Champions stage are the playoffs (quarterfinals, semifinals, finals).
      Apart from the Majors, there are ESL Tournaments (NOT VALVE SPONSORED). They are IEM Katowice and IEM Cologne (usually teams invited by ESL rank list with points and winners of ESL Challengers tournaments) are normal tournaments like in any other esport.
      ESL also has ESL PRO LEAGUES (2/year) which are 5 weeks (each week 1 group stage) and final week are the playoffs.
      Then, there is BLAST. There are BLAST SPRING FINALS AND BLAST FALL FINALS. These are huge and winning them (or getting points in them) leads to BLAST WORLD FINALS which is usually the last tournament of the year.
      In conclusion. Every month there is an S-tier tournament (except in January and July) and there are A and B-tier tournaments every other week which usually grant spots for the S-tier ones.
      It's a very packed schedule but people just can't get enough cs if you know what I mean :D

      ​@@babatundae756keep repeating this bro, some day it will make sense. Valve was already worth 2-4 billion in 2011. Saying that it wasn't a multi billion company is an outright lie. In the end it's people who code games, not money, so it doesn't matter how much money they have if there aren't many proficient Source 2 developers and their best csgo developers were hired by Riot long ago. Also the bottlenecks in software development are human and making a team of developers too big doesn't actually improve the development speed but rather slows it down. You won't see teams bigger than around 20 people in any company, big or small, in the entire world. Just because they could pay a thousand developers doesn't mean they should.

      1. Yes I do. Valve doesn't make the tournaments' software or the mods to run matches, nor do they provide admins or moderators. They just make the base game and oversee the tournaments. Anything that didn't work outside of the gameplay is PGL's fault, and from what I've been able to hear and read, it mostly definitely is.
      2. Here's the proof that what I'm saying is true. You can't accept the fact that there's a higher percentage of players in level 10 than in the two highest MM ranks combined, and therefore 2k elos are not much better than a LEM. I see this every time I find faceit players in my lobbies and they go malding because they can't understand why a MM player is beating them. If you want I can give you a masterclass on faceit's levels and elo ratings but you just need to accept that right now being a level 10 is not that special.
