Outsiders’ in-game chief and AWPer Jame has supplied some perception into what he would change in CS:GO after he led his workforce to win the IEM Rio Main in November over Heroic—and it’s not associated to the precise sport.
The aggressive scene has advanced since CS:GO got here out in 2012, and these days, it’s very often to see gamers bringing notes and even complete stratbooks to official matches. On some groups, every participant brings their very own materials for the match, which might be consulted throughout tactical timeouts and even in between rounds. Whereas there are execs who see this as useful, Jame thinks it’s unfair.
“I’d additionally take away the power for gamers to make use of the technique sheets that they’ve in entrance of their computer systems in tournaments,” Jame stated in an interview with Cybersport.ru, in accordance with machine translation. “It’s not honest, it’s not honest. I would like solely the coaches to have these sheets, in order that they will solely voice them on the timeout. Folks simply take a look at what’s written on the sheet with the rounds, and should not even keep in mind.”
The Outsiders’ captain stated that it was extra honest again within the day when gamers may solely have their keyboard and mouse in entrance of them throughout tournaments. Each “powerful” professional ought to keep in mind the workforce’s techniques and protocols, in accordance with Jame.
For Jame, there’s no cause for this apply to be allowed in CS:GO since you don’t see it in sports activities like soccer or chess. He in contrast the stratbooks to a “everlasting cheat sheet” that dishonest college students convey to exams.
“Even the function of the captain fades into the background,” Jame stated. “You don’t need to be a super-genius captain who must give you one thing on the go. You may print 50 rounds on a bit of paper and say ‘We’re doing spherical quantity 38, open this web page.’ What then is the that means of the captain? That is the component that distinguishes a robust participant from a weak one. For those who can’t keep in mind some issues, then you definately’re dropping the competitors. It’s ancillary merchandise that I’d eliminate to extend the competitors.”
Though it’s unlikely that event organizers will take what Jame stated into consideration because of how decreased the influence of coaches has been after Valve determined they may solely converse throughout tactical timeouts, it’s nonetheless insightful to see what Jame thinks. He’s been considered one of the clever gamers within the scene over the previous few years for giving up on rounds Outsiders have a small probability of successful to save lots of weapons and preserve a wholesome workforce financial system.
