Skyesports debacle
It’s been a while since we had a proper catastrophe.
Like, proper, proper f*ck-up.
Skyesports set up an event in Mumbai, and it’s been truly awful. The tables look like something you were mis-advertised on Facebook Marketplace and now you’re too weak to call the other guy a liar about.
You’ve got a crap table (that apparently has nails sticking out of it), a PC that allegedly doesn’t run the game properly (reports of under 100 FPS for some teams, though it is CS2), electricity going out and vetoes - and we’re not joking here - were being done over the phone.
We like to imagine hampus lying on his front twirling his hair doing the veto.
BetBoom dropped out because they thought the tournament was unfair, with rumours suggesting they had worse PCs than some of the other teams. s1ren suggested he got ‘poisoned’, though this is translated, and probably just means sick.
It’s only been two days of the event that continues through the weekend.
There’s been loads of tech pauses, with a three hour one happening during The MongolZ vs True Rippers, the Indian team. MongolZ made a massive comeback from 5-11 afterwards. No comment.
We could talk more about the games, but frankly, they don’t matter. They’re being played on rubbish PCs on freecycle tables while everyone seems to be getting sick (add lauNX). Caring about who wins is like watching Takeshi’s Castle and caring who wins. Spoilers: nobody does.
