Can the spectators on the attackers side tag opponents or do they just twiddle their thumbs?

Was pretty interesting. Lots of ninja cappers on Collided, WatchYourBack seemed to favor defense heavily, too bad that we didn't see archway, hope it comes up in the losers bracket <3

Really enjoying watching the tournament, seems like probably the best FPS I've seen for spectators and casting.

Love that maps and rules heavily favor defenders, would prefer that stays. The way I see it in a way it's like Tennis. Tends to heavily favor the person serving and thanks to that it becomes a real moment when the serve is broken. It also creates a lot of suspense as to whether the other guy can manage to break serve to tie it back up. Lot of extra good suspense.

If they're near even then you get rid of all that suspense and memorable moments of breaking the defence and trying to return the favor which seems counter productive to making a good spectator sport.

It was very tense to watch, especially when someone finally cracked the "serve" as Yurez put it. Especially loved the commentary which added excitement and made me rush back to the tab many times when looking around the internet.
