Nadeshot frustrated as ESL shut down his restream of CSGO finals Valve \/ 100 ThievesAhead of 100 Thieves\u2019 announced departure from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Mathew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag came under a bit of fire for disinterest in his org\u2019s finals match at IEM New York and, subsequently, admonished by ESL for streaming the event. [jwplayer 3EyfiByz] Nadeshot came home to Los Angeles after 12 hours of travel and was excited to stream some of the Black Ops Cold War open beta for the first time, but, as the stream started, he also mentioned that he wouldn\u2019t be responding to chat as much as usual because 100T was facing Furia in the IEM New York Grand Finals. Unfortunately, some found it disappointing that the organization\u2019s founder would multitask and play another game during his team\u2019s final CS:GO match ever, with former pro Chad \u2018SPUNJ\u2019 Burchill even calling him out. Shame the owner of the team is playing the new COD instead of watching his teams final match in CS which is also a Grand Final \u2014 Chad Burchill (@SPUNJ) October 18, 2020 With people like SPUNJ discrediting Nade\u2019s loyalty to his team and Black Ops Cold War coincidentally crashing, the 100T CEO attempted to switch over to the big match. But, in another string of disappointments, that idea wasn\u2019t meant to be either. After trying to watch the Grand Finals with about 13,000 viewers, Nade received word that this re-stream was against ESL guidelines and that he was not allowed to do so. Frustratedly, he returned to his initial Black Ops Cold War plans and expressed some understanding, as well as disappointment with the tournament organizers\u2019 decision. \u201cAt the end of the day, I get it from a business perspective on ESL\u2019s standpoint,\u201d Nadeshot said. \u201cI mean, they pay for broadcast rights and they\u2019re putting on this tournament and all these things. But, from my perspective, I have all of their sponsors and broadcast assets on my stream \u2026 I\u2019m essentially just on a soapbox right now, blasting the stream but with just 12-13,000 more viewers.\u201d Read more: Nadeshot explains 100 Thieves exit from CSGO – As he explained on stream, by putting the stream on full screen without any of his brandings, he felt that he was just giving the official broadcast more exposure. But, ultimately, he understands why the decision was made. In a later clip, following his return to streaming BOCW, the 100T head honcho added further clarification. While affirming that he fully understands why he wasn\u2019t allowed to re-stream the event and that he respects ESL\u2019s business decisions, he felt that this situation was unique and could have been handled differently: \u201cWell, I got your logos up here, I\u2019ve got none of my sponsors up here. Can\u2019t we just make an exception?\u201d First criticized for not giving his team\u2019s play enough attention and then reprimanded for giving it too much attention, this wasn\u2019t one of Nadeshot\u2019s more fortunate streams. Still, he understands why ESL came down on him and, perhaps more importantly, he did eventually get to play BOCW without his PC crashing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
