I haven't watched Counter-Strike in a while, but I watched this match, since it was exciting to see of Mousesports would be beating. However, the level seemed damn low. The aiming seemed lazy, the moved and positioning weren't through through, the tactical level seemed basic. No wonder why even the top10 Danish teams are doing well internationally nowadays.

I don't know how much all of this was affected by the map being Tuscan, which seems not really to have broken through yet. However, I watched Virtus.Pro against A-Gaming the other day, and there at least the level seemed a good deal higher, even if I certainly wasn't impressed.

Watching HLTV wasn't very satisfying. Ever since 1.6 came out, I would think, it has seemed to me that HLTV is quite laggy and not very enjoyable. When I watched some demos a while back, I thought they were just extremely laggy because American users had recorded them and submitted them to Gotfrag, and it was the only site that really bothered to circulate demos. Granted, the lag here nearly wasn't as bad as in those, however there seem to be very small lags most of the time, ruining the experience. Therefore it seems that in-eye demos would be the only truly enjoyable viewer experience in Counter-Strike, but it might just be me :)
