SPUNJ and MACHINE decide not to cast an entire round
Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill and Alex "MACHINE" went for an unorthodox casting method in a round between Astralis and BIG, deciding not to say a single word and let the "Counter-Strike speak for itself." SPUNJ and MACHINE are known for their ability to riff and turn the mundane into entertaining.
The product of their silence was an odd round of play but one that worked nonetheless.
The observers - Marko "shev" Krajčeski and Sigurds "jeyrazz" Maikls - were on the top of their game, telling the viewer the story of the round by expertly switching between players' perspectives. The observing pair caught nearly every kill, and the lack of commentary was nigh-on unnoticeable once the action began.
SPUNJ, MACHINE, shev, and jeyrazz will all be in action once the PGL Cluj-Napoca playoffs begin, but we may not see a round like this for a while.
