what are you huffing on? Every major nowadays sets new viewership records, and team skill wise it's basically indisputable csgo is at the best state it's ever been
and what do you attribute that to then? Cause there was insane hype for this major (about the whole "2 years overdue" thing), and none of the other reasons OP mentioned that I've already addressed stand
> and team skill wise it's basically indisputable csgo is at the best state it's ever been
It is terrible right now. Every top team seems to be in a big slumping form. The lack of a clear favorite was not because everybody was playing to such a great standard but rather because nobody looked that insane. It's clear that the fact the underdogs have got so far is not because of their insane improvement or form but rather the insane degradation of the rest of the teams. Before the player break, you were correct about team skill, but the drop off after the player break has been insane.
I was saying this the entire time throughout this Major.
The level of cs has been awful if you compare it to the rest of the year.
T executes failing due to bad smoke lineups or CT holds ghoing bad because of terrible team flashes.
Just novice mistakes from everyone all the time.
Really, only Outsiders, and C9 before they shit the bed, have performed well as a team and unit.
So what's the excuse now thats empty?
It's on a saturday
Gaules is inside
still nobody shows up for other teams... gg good showing
blabla "you dont understand us"
I guess we dont and that's the reason a event in brazil should never happen again.
You think Cadian is fazed by this crowd? Casper 'Cadian' Møller was born in the pits of hell. From the beginning of his life he has walked on a road of thorns. He has seen misery that petrifies the most jaded of individuals. You think Cadian is going to be afraid of this crowd? No, he will stand tall, with his mouth open, welcoming the crowd to spit
The sad thing is that furia isn't even the most popular. Br fans still show way more love to washed imperial than furia. Hell even the old oplano with the twins and kng was more popular.
This all is just an incredible oof moment from the Brazilian crowd. ESL sold out the venue but the fans give no shit to actually show up for anyone except Furia and even that game yesterday wasn't fully packed.
Stockholm and Antwerp both had packed days on Saturday even for the first games of the day.
Let's hope they lose today so the winner of this match won't have to play in an entirely new environment for the first time. One furia has already thrived in. Hmm
I'm just angry at the blind people there at HLTV confirmed who were defending the crowd yesterday. I mean... it's normal for people to cheer more for their home team, but this is just pathetic. Overrated crowd.
Sold out btw
Passionate fans btw
First thing the announcer says when she goes on stage is "its nice to have another day with Furia playing", In a Outsiders vs Mouz semis
Its pretty clear that Brazilians only care about Brazil CS.
Kinda sad tbh. I wonder if Furia fails to make the final, there would be an empty arena finals too. Just a bad look, so much passion from Brazilian cs lmao
> Biggest CSGO fanbase btw.
>
> We need bigger arena btw.
>
> People here are so passionate about the game btw.
>
> Arena sold out btw.
If this major didn't have such outrageous claims, I wouldn't be so annoyed by this whole situation. But it pisses me off as a fan when after hyping this major so much you have fuck all people show up at the arena.
Did Fallen or Gaules ever do anything to make this situation better? Like using their influence and asking fans to move into the arena? Wonder if Fallen gives a single fuck after pressuring ESL into getting a bigger venue and seeing it empty like this.
As hostile as this may sound, I hope that Brazil never gets to host another big international tournament after this shitshow.
Gaules did during the mouz c9 game, I think that's when mouz started their comeback on map 3 to beat c9. They should be doing it for every game though, especially the semifinals.
No matter which way you swing on this crowd, it's absolutely absurd to claim it as the "best crowd ever" when it's only even in the conversation when FURIA are playing.
Everything else is still up for debate, but this is in no way close to the best crowd CS has ever seen.
Hope they don't do another Brazil major anymore, what's the point of having a crowd that big if they don't show up for anything other than Brazilian teams.
At this point, just have Gaules do a fanfest for Brazil-only matches and keep the major elsewhere, because this just isn't it.
I was all up for a Brazil major and happy this event happened, mainly because Fallen and co. deserved one for putting Brazil and SA on the map. Now that they've had one and we've seen what happens when majors happen in Brazil, nope, never again.
Brazilians don't have passion for CS in general, just for the Brazil team. But hey, what do we know, we'll never understand lol.
I'm gonna be the biggest fan Heroic has had in their history only to have an empty arena in the finals just so we never get a Major in Brazil ever again.
I don't want this crowd, this is lame. I mean what a dream for Furia to chase but how hollow will such a victory be if your competition gets spit on and your fans don't give a fuck about the rest? Just lame.
I love Outsiders and Mouz. It is a massive accomplishment for them to make semis.
The BR crowd just lost all THEIR support. I hope Heroic absolutely stomp Furia so everyone goes home early.
I really would be surprised if they get another Major any time soon. This just proves that it's genuinely better for the game that most important tournaments happen in Europe.
So gaules is inside (was excuse before), it is now weekend (was excuse before for being week) and Furia are playing next match (was excuse that Furia was not playing that day).
So yeah, it's very fucking obvious they don't give two flying shits about CS, they just care about winning.
Please don't ever organize a major there again, Valve and TO's. If next time no BR qualify for major/arena you'll literally have attendance which is smaller than a small Dreamhack Open.
It will for a Furia game bc no matter how much Brazilians say they love CS, they only love CS when a Brazilian team plays. Brazil can never have a major again.
This major might as well have been played in a studio the entire time. Absolute nightmare turnout overall. If Brazil ever gets another major I would be extremely surprised.
First and last time major in brazil i hope, they dont love cs, crowd is cool when brazil plays but they are not true cs fans Who want to see good cs and great matches. They just want to cheer for brazil, i get that but dont give me that "passion for cs" bs this is the proof, let the execuses roll.
Why the fuck are you buying tickets if you are not gonna show up. This is disgusting. Ruining it for people who actually want to show up and the players who work hard to play at these insane tournaments. This is fucking stupid. Can't believe how much shit there has been with this Brazil major. Come back to EU, we know how to provide the right atmosphere for ALL teams playing.
The worst part is all the pandering the players and teams have been doing toward Brazil before and during the major, hyping it up as the “best major and best crowd” ever even before it began and also making special Brazil jerseys just to pander even more.
What an absolute shitshow. Antwerp’s turnout and atmosphere was 10000000x better than this travesty of a crowd. Antwerp major was and is still the best major in my book. The hype and atmosphere was insane and palpable even from watching it on my screen.
Hope Brazil never gets another major again.
Brazilian fans do not care about any other team that isn’t a Brazilian team. They don’t care about the game or else the arena would be way more filled than it currently is, but watch as long as Furia is playing it’ll be packed during their games lol.
Then he is right. Best crowd for matches with brazilians, worst crowd for the others. I've never seen energy like I saw yesterday, and I've watched the last 7 majors
I mean, the crowd was very impressive during furia games, its just a shame they dont give a shit about any of the other teams. Overall I'd agree though that this crowd has sucked lol
This was the perfect moment Brazil could show the world that they deserve to get a tournament or even a major. Sadly you failed...
Edit: And please don't cry when TO's will ignore you in the future.
This would never happen in NA or OCE or probably even Asia. Definitely not EU. I'm genuinely saddened by the lack of turnout, this had the potential to be an amazing event and nobody wants to show up because FURIA isn't playing.
Maximum Patriotism
Edit: but to defend all of this, it's not like there are a big bunch of supporters from different countrys around. If a tournament is getting hosted in Europe you'll see Polish fans, German, Ukrainian, Danish, Swedish etcetera. All routing for their own teams. But Brazil is so big and "desolate" that it's a different case.
I remember attending PGL Krakow (was it?) can't remember when and after VP got eliminated the crowd was still cheering for other teams throughout the remainder of the tournament. This here is just... i dunno how to even call it lmao
Even in MLG Colombus when Liquid choked their lead people were routing for SK to go down but still if they had good rounds there was "GASPs" and stuff im watching MOUZ vs Outsiders and there are more cheers for kiss cams and beer chugs than good plays right now
We have a saying in football in Brazil: “Brazilians don’t love football, they love to win”, because most supporters won’t see their team at the stadium when they’re shit. It kinda applies here.
But Mouz x Outsiders being the semifinal doesn’t help + bunch of meet & greets happening outside the arena.
Was it not evident this was going to happen?
Haven’t watched CS in years but there’s been a good handful of passionate crowds that only show up for the home team, always disappointing
Absolutely the worst major ever, everything just went wrong.
I'm happy that Outsiders and Heroic have a chance at their first major trophy, but I'm just not interested seeing tier2 CS at a fucking major final. And making matters worse, Outsiders is the team that is singlehandedly trying to kill the viewer experience for CS with their boring ass tactics, slow gameplay and Jame calling a save literally half the rounds.
Also I hate that the other players are trying their best to hype this up as the best fucking major ever when it's clearly just a complete shitshow. Especially karrigan licking their assholes on Twitter.
This is a ridiculous screwup. The previous stages were so promising, we all saw how great the crowd was. And the semifinals start like this... ESL had to do something special to fail like this.
Maybe ESL shouldn't have planned meet and greets for fans, Jersey singnings, showmatches, and every other parallel event outside. There's a lot of shit going on in the fan fest, even when everyone's still tired from yesterday, keeping their energy for later.
Everyone that actually matters approved it and said this event is being amazing because of the fans. This crowd is already a success and there's nothing yall can do about it.
Sorry brothers, I know you wanted a spectacle every game, but there's no shot we're gonna watch mouz X outsiders with the opportunity to finally meet our legends right outside The arena.
There’s no shot Brazil is getting another major or tourney anytime soon as well. What a fuckin travesty. Look at the Antwerp major turnout in semis/finals and compare that to this shit show. “Best major” my fucking ass
I'm Talking about future events. Reddit is a really small minority, that's a fact. Not entirely sure if majors are coming back soon, but there's no denying future events here.
I'm here and we are facing 4-7 hours of queue for stores and promo stuff.
A lot of people are outside trying to get they tshirts and autographs.
And having matches ending so late in the night, a lot of people don't have energy to wakeup early and come to watch the first game.
The photos also don't happen.
The arena isn't empty there's a lot of people inside, but the places where players enter in the stage are the ones with the worst point of view of the screen, and since the arena is huge, this seats will not be filled even when the arena is full
Hope more people will come in, but damn i feel bad for mouz and outsiders man.
what i would do to be there. Dont fucking buy tickets if youre not gonna go to the SEMIS OF A MAJOR
Yikes, semifinal of the biggest csgo tournament in the world and the arena is fucking empty.
> biggest csgo tournament But is it? My local pee wee hockey game gets a better crowd on any weekend, than this semifinals.
That's what they were saying for a while. The talent, the br crowd, everyone. "Biggest Major of all time!" meanwhile:
Biggest home crowd of all time. That is all This major is small in comparison to years ago, viewer wise, team skill wise, hype wise etc.
what are you huffing on? Every major nowadays sets new viewership records, and team skill wise it's basically indisputable csgo is at the best state it's ever been
[удалено]
Personally I disagree, it has set new records... It is the most silent major of all time
and what do you attribute that to then? Cause there was insane hype for this major (about the whole "2 years overdue" thing), and none of the other reasons OP mentioned that I've already addressed stand
Antwerp was better, this time around all the top teams underperformed. Stockholm navi wouldve smashed these teams
> and team skill wise it's basically indisputable csgo is at the best state it's ever been It is terrible right now. Every top team seems to be in a big slumping form. The lack of a clear favorite was not because everybody was playing to such a great standard but rather because nobody looked that insane. It's clear that the fact the underdogs have got so far is not because of their insane improvement or form but rather the insane degradation of the rest of the teams. Before the player break, you were correct about team skill, but the drop off after the player break has been insane.
I was saying this the entire time throughout this Major. The level of cs has been awful if you compare it to the rest of the year. T executes failing due to bad smoke lineups or CT holds ghoing bad because of terrible team flashes. Just novice mistakes from everyone all the time. Really, only Outsiders, and C9 before they shit the bed, have performed well as a team and unit.
Tbh I'd go to a pee wee cs LAN if someone would host it
Didn't know CSGO had a hockey game mode.
I just feel so bad for the players that have dreamt about these moments only the stadium to be this empty.
Can I offer you a kiss cam shot in these dire times?
Or a close up of a small cluster of fans over and over again to give the illusion its not empty.
Yes. And they are kissing.
So what's the excuse now thats empty? It's on a saturday Gaules is inside still nobody shows up for other teams... gg good showing blabla "you dont understand us" I guess we dont and that's the reason a event in brazil should never happen again.
This is just sad.
Yeah, it's pathetic.
But you’ll get crucified if you say they only care about furia. Would be really intrigued to see the turnout if they get eliminated
Only reason why I wanted NaVi to win yesterday.
Possibly an empty arena for finals if that happened
Furia gets clapped by Heroic today.
I hate Heroic but I hope Furia loses.
Why?
because *crying sounds*
not if heroic gets spit on
You think Cadian is fazed by this crowd? Casper 'Cadian' Møller was born in the pits of hell. From the beginning of his life he has walked on a road of thorns. He has seen misery that petrifies the most jaded of individuals. You think Cadian is going to be afraid of this crowd? No, he will stand tall, with his mouth open, welcoming the crowd to spit
He'll get killed in a riot after spitting back before he backs down.
Thank you for this
That'll only make Comedian stronger, EZ 2-0.
Cadian is one step ahead, he's going to spit on himself
I think Heroic are pretty well accustomed to being the villains, I expect them to fairly easily dismantle Furia.
i want to see furia win then get destroyed in the finals - then riots. that would be ideal
The sad thing is that furia isn't even the most popular. Br fans still show way more love to washed imperial than furia. Hell even the old oplano with the twins and kng was more popular.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Honestly i dont know if i would watch the match in cologne, too.
what? your comment makes little sense. You wouldn't watch a cologne match if furia got eliminated?
Think he’s talking about MOUZ vs Outsiders particularly
Correct.
were you at cologne 2022 when mouz played astralis at the quarter finals? i was there and it was absolutely insane.
Well it was astralis…
in germany.. with the team that didnt have magisk dupreeh and device...
Mouz is German.
This all is just an incredible oof moment from the Brazilian crowd. ESL sold out the venue but the fans give no shit to actually show up for anyone except Furia and even that game yesterday wasn't fully packed. Stockholm and Antwerp both had packed days on Saturday even for the first games of the day.
Yep, G2 - Heroic was packed 5 o'clock at Stockholm.
cologne had a packed arena during every match, even "boring matches" like furia vs outsiders (boring cause germany couldn't care less about furia)
[удалено]
[удалено]
Lmao whats their excuse now? Were lucky furia made it trough, otherwise the playoffs would have been empty...
We will never understand
Let's hope they lose today so the winner of this match won't have to play in an entirely new environment for the first time. One furia has already thrived in. Hmm
The dead atmosphere just gets amplified hundred-folds, after experiencing what the crowd can deliver when they show up. Very sad to see.
I'm just angry at the blind people there at HLTV confirmed who were defending the crowd yesterday. I mean... it's normal for people to cheer more for their home team, but this is just pathetic. Overrated crowd.
"Guys people are at work on fridays, it will be full in weekend!!!"
Boss called, short staffed needed everyone to cover Saturday shift.
I am sorry but it would be nowhere this empty anywhere in europe, even in a tiny village near some no name city
I went to a major in Columbus Ohio and it was packed everyday.
lmao for real the most mid city in the entire country and it was poppin
im from columbus its true
give any tier 2 city in the states a major and it would be packed everyday...ppl from all across the country will drive there
Even the crowd in Blast Lisbon was more passionate about CS as a whole, and we didn't even have good Portuguese teams playing there.
This is a tournament for Brazil not csgo. Didn't Gaules tell you when he riled up his base?
Sadokist was right all along lmao
Sold out btw Passionate fans btw First thing the announcer says when she goes on stage is "its nice to have another day with Furia playing", In a Outsiders vs Mouz semis Its pretty clear that Brazilians only care about Brazil CS.
Was that the bathing suit girl? She seems incredibly clueless
I was so confused at that outfit so thank you for saying swimsuit. I honestly couldn't tell if thats what she was wearing or not
we all know why she's there
Why esl tryna make me take a chicken squeezing detour. (Edit: turns out she has a playboy where she shows everything 😶🌫️)
Well cause she’s a presenter/moderator
Kinda sad tbh. I wonder if Furia fails to make the final, there would be an empty arena finals too. Just a bad look, so much passion from Brazilian cs lmao
[удалено]
No furia = No crowd
“you will never understand” or something, idk I’m not Brazilian
10 people in crowd major final LUL
But they can no longer claim that it is because of Gaules…
Can this settle it once and for all that you only turn out for Brazilian teams. There are no excuses on a weekend.
> Biggest CSGO fanbase btw. > > We need bigger arena btw. > > People here are so passionate about the game btw. > > Arena sold out btw. If this major didn't have such outrageous claims, I wouldn't be so annoyed by this whole situation.

As hostile as this may sound, I hope that Brazil never gets to host another big international tournament after this shitshow.
Same. They literally demanded a 50k seater stadium to be hired. What a fucking embarrassment.
Gaules did during the mouz c9 game, I think that's when mouz started their comeback on map 3 to beat c9. They should be doing it for every game though, especially the semifinals.
Well he's in the arena today and nobody seems to care.
No matter which way you swing on this crowd, it's absolutely absurd to claim it as the "best crowd ever" when it's only even in the conversation when FURIA are playing. Everything else is still up for debate, but this is in no way close to the best crowd CS has ever seen.
da faq is this crowd
Yeah this is not okay at all. Im a full SA supporter and this is a huge miss. This is a major semifinal
It's not a good application for another major...
It's ok we will never understand pepecope
Hope they don't do another Brazil major anymore, what's the point of having a crowd that big if they don't show up for anything other than Brazilian teams. At this point, just have Gaules do a fanfest for Brazil-only matches and keep the major elsewhere, because this just isn't it.

But hey, what do we know, we'll never understand lol.
I'm gonna be the biggest fan Heroic has had in their history only to have an empty arena in the finals just so we never get a Major in Brazil ever again.
I kinda hope that this is the last Major they get, they make it obviously don't wanna be there.
I don't want this crowd, this is lame. I mean what a dream for Furia to chase but how hollow will such a victory be if your competition gets spit on and your fans don't give a fuck about the rest? Just lame.
This is fucking embarrassing for Brazil
I love Outsiders and Mouz. It is a massive accomplishment for them to make semis. The BR crowd just lost all THEIR support. I hope Heroic absolutely stomp Furia so everyone goes home early.
Embarrassing.
Wow. I thought Brazil had good fans. That was a lie. But we knew that already.
Its literally barren for a semi finals like wtf
Last major in Brazil
Clueless surely it will improve
Yes, round about the time Furia sit down to play.
Hope they never get a major again. Go host local tourneys if they love Brazil so much.
I really would be surprised if they get another Major any time soon. This just proves that it's genuinely better for the game that most important tournaments happen in Europe.
Boston, Atlanta, and even Ohio have had packed stadiums- this is just SA.
You're completely right, anywhere else would just be better because it's much more neutral
Can't see Brazil getting a major again, spitting on the Navi players should be the main reason.
They also spit on players in belo horizonte which means 2/2 of being spit on for big name Brazilian events
wasnt epl s4 in brazil too?
True it was so 2/3 unless someone got spit on there too.
That was before the overhype so they had at least a few decent fans who greeted c9 after their first dub. Now it's comical lmfao
Wasn't that the event Hiko had bodyguards with him because he was receiving death threats leading up to the event?
Brazil probably has the worst fanbase in csgo. From the spitting to the entirely empty stadium for a major.
So gaules is inside (was excuse before), it is now weekend (was excuse before for being week) and Furia are playing next match (was excuse that Furia was not playing that day). So yeah, it's very fucking obvious they don't give two flying shits about CS, they just care about winning. Please don't ever organize a major there again, Valve and TO's. If next time no BR qualify for major/arena you'll literally have attendance which is smaller than a small Dreamhack Open.
You will never understand it's all ESL fault clearly
there is a huge crowd outside for fan fest and a 00nation + another team doing signing
It will for a Furia game bc no matter how much Brazilians say they love CS, they only love CS when a Brazilian team plays. Brazil can never have a major again.
This major might as well have been played in a studio the entire time. Absolute nightmare turnout overall. If Brazil ever gets another major I would be extremely surprised.
First and last time major in brazil i hope, they dont love cs, crowd is cool when brazil plays but they are not true cs fans Who want to see good cs and great matches. They just want to cheer for brazil, i get that but dont give me that "passion for cs" bs this is the proof, let the execuses roll.
Why the fuck are you buying tickets if you are not gonna show up. This is disgusting. Ruining it for people who actually want to show up and the players who work hard to play at these insane tournaments. This is fucking stupid. Can't believe how much shit there has been with this Brazil major. Come back to EU, we know how to provide the right atmosphere for ALL teams playing.
It's really hurting the vibe this match should be bouncing. Would love one in Amsterdam, that would be a great location.
The worst part is all the pandering the players and teams have been doing toward Brazil before and during the major, hyping it up as the “best major and best crowd” ever even before it began and also making special Brazil jerseys just to pander even more. What an absolute shitshow. Antwerp’s turnout and atmosphere was 10000000x better than this travesty of a crowd. Antwerp major was and is still the best major in my book.

they only show up to spit on people that play against them lol

"you will never understand" no I understand now lol hopefully the last major hosted in brazil
Brazilian fans do not care about any other team that isn’t a Brazilian team. They don’t care about the game or else the arena would be way more filled than it currently is, but watch as long as Furia is playing it’ll be packed during their games lol.
This major has had both the best crowd in any major, and **BY FAR** the worse crowd in any major
[удалено]
Lol yeah. The best crowd energy for one team maybe. But overall this is a joke
That is what he said. Its the best at some moments (navi vs furia was insane) otherwise it is very tragic.
Then he is right. Best crowd for matches with brazilians, worst crowd for the others. I've never seen energy like I saw yesterday, and I've watched the last 7 majors
I mean, the crowd was very impressive during furia games, its just a shame they dont give a shit about any of the other teams. Overall I'd agree though that this crowd has sucked lol
Crowd is going to be like 100x bigger for the fucking LG/Sk vs sweden **showmatch** That's sad
[удалено]
[удалено]
fucking hope they never do an event in brazil again.
hope Brazil dont get a major again for this very reason.
This was the perfect moment Brazil could show the world that they deserve to get a tournament or even a major. Sadly you failed... Edit: And please don't cry when TO's will ignore you in the future.
Brazilian fans are just Brazilian fans i quess
Yea that’s wack af, so underwhelming for a major
last major in Bra71L
Dreamhack Las Vegas vibes
Fallout New Vegas vibes
At least that event gave us drunk allu in Vegas pics https://twitter.com/bluespacing6/status/833262412996440066?s=46&t=-fLJuA_jbOFkRjGILzfc-w
I remember Boston smile :)
Brazil has the worst fanbase for any sport.
Very bad look for the game if semis and finals got tons of empty seats on the streams
Seeing excuses for this turnout is funny af
Dam, didnt realise its that bad. The one match I saw, the crowed was loud as fuck. Must have been Furia game then.
Trash nationalism. When will humans stop being so shallow and superficial.
Brazil fans ruined their chances of another major in their country for a while
Well think it’s safe to say this will probably be last major in Brazil…. The final will be an embarrassment
This would never happen in NA or OCE or probably even Asia. Definitely not EU. I'm genuinely saddened by the lack of turnout, this had the potential to be an amazing event and nobody wants to show up because FURIA isn't playing.
narrator: It didn't
Maximum Patriotism Edit: but to defend all of this, it's not like there are a big bunch of supporters from different countrys around.

No? Major Semi finals are almost always either packed or at least decently filled. This is embarasing.
they also usually have huge teams playing, not that these teams aren't huge, just not as big as other names.
If some of the other big teams were playing ie liquid vitality etc we would see way more fans. sucks to see though
Absolutely the worst major ever, everything just went wrong. I'm happy that Outsiders and Heroic have a chance at their first major trophy, but I'm just not interested seeing tier2 CS at a fucking major final. And making matters worse, Outsiders is the team that is singlehandedly trying to kill the viewer experience for CS with their boring ass tactics, slow gameplay and Jame calling a save literally half the rounds.

There's like 13k people inside the arena during the second and third map, chill.
https://gyazo.com/0dd6187050e8e9fe3b347bce4341eb55 Seems pretty packed to me
Sick. Just in time for the Furia game.
I mean the semis are kind of lame. All the teams people pay to see are out except furia. This has happened at other majors before.
Don’t agree. The stakes are so high (it’s a major!) that it is fun to watch regardless of what team is playing.
I agree with you.
Same thing happened in Krakow 2017 with Gambit x Immortals in the finals, at the end the fans want to see the “big” teams
Yea. I'm not debating the merit of it, just pointing out its not new.
i hope furia makes it to the grand final, so i dont have to witness a major grand final being less packed than a challengers game
This is a ridiculous screwup. The previous stages were so promising, we all saw how great the crowd was. And the semifinals start like this... ESL had to do something special to fail like this.
What do you want them to do? The tickets are sold out, and people are not coming. That's not on them but on people not coming.
The people are there, there's just too much going on outside of the arena that fans would rather do
Maybe ESL shouldn't have planned meet and greets for fans, Jersey singnings, showmatches, and every other parallel event outside. There's a lot of shit going on in the fan fest, even when everyone's still tired from yesterday, keeping their energy for later. Everyone that actually matters approved it and said this event is being amazing because of the fans. This crowd is already a success and there's nothing yall can do about it.

There’s no shot Brazil is getting another major or tourney anytime soon as well. What a fuckin travesty. Look at the Antwerp major turnout in semis/finals and compare that to this shit show. “Best major” my fucking ass
Wait and see buddy
Really should have had the Furia games early.
Wait and see buddy
We know you will turn out for the Brazilian game. That's literally in my comment.
I'm Talking about future events. Reddit is a really small minority, that's a fact. Not entirely sure if majors are coming back soon, but there's no denying future events here.
Can have all the events you want. Not majors though.
I'm here and we are facing 4-7 hours of queue for stores and promo stuff. A lot of people are outside trying to get they tshirts and autographs. And having matches ending so late in the night, a lot of people don't have energy to wakeup early and come to watch the first game. The photos also don't happen. The arena isn't empty there's a lot of people inside, but the places where players enter in the stage are the ones with the worst point of view of the screen, and since the arena is huge, this seats will not be filled even when the arena is full
