This major is a complete disaster! The pause between games can go up to 2 hours and even after 2 hours , the production cannot be sure if they can resume the competition or make another quick check and I thought ok , it's only 1st day , things can be resolved with a decent IT crew specialized on streaming and using OBS, which I'm more than familiar and they should resolve it quickly but I guess no one made a backup configuration file.
Second day started with another 1 hour delay and it seems it will continue like this for the rest of the Major with at least 1 H pause between games, even if we switch from game 1 to game 2 or from a team to another.
That problem depends on the organizer, I remember the Shanghai major where it's truly a disaster and there were players' belongings and money that have been robbed.
Well, needless to say, the major is already in the playoffs, and despite all of those issues that have been caught and come out it still proceeded.
Right now, in the lower bracket, cast now your bets with the match of Talon and HellRaisers.
I think disaster is an understatement for the current status of this major. To be honest, this has to be the worst major so far that Valve has prepared. Not only that they misorganized almost the processes, but the pause on the games which caused hours of delays, the casters and some cringe-y interaction with the crowds is just painful to look at.
I remember back in Shanghai major, some of the belongings were stolen. But in this Lima Major, sounds were an issue, lag problems, cables, etc.- it just a total disaster that is completely different from Valve standards.
