The StarLadder Major Command Center is live on Twitch

StarLadder has teamed up with Twitch, StatsHelix and Genvid Technologies to provide fans with an exclusive interactive experience to watch the Berlin Major 2019. It's live right now, and you can check it out here.

Fans with Twitch Prime gain instant access to it while those that don't will have to pay a one-time fee of $4.99. It can be found within the Twitch Command Center feature, providing the most interactive way to enjoy Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. First-time viewers are given a free five-minute trial to get a taste of an interactive HUD, pro stats, advanced minimap and more.

Twitch’s Command Center first debuted with the Overwatch League and StarLadder Berlin Major 2019 is the first time it's used for CS:GO. Subscribers gain exclusive access to 11 additional channels with tactics information, player POV cameras, exclusive chat and realtime stats that are provided by StatsHelix. The service is available right now and will remain all through to the end of the Berlin Major.

Fans can virtually clap for their favourite players, which creates a visual effect across all viewers on all 11 premium channels. This information feeds into analytical tools which can be used in commentary and shared with fans viewing without access to the Command Center. Alexander Fomin, StarLadder CCO is particularly pleased with the interactive clapping feature and looks forward to receiving fan feedback.

James Reilman, Twitch - business development, commented: “Twitch is always pushing the boundaries of the esports experience for its viewers, and bringing the Command Center as a product to CS:GO is an exciting new frontier for one of the year’s biggest esports tournaments.”

Chris Cataldi, Genvid Technologies COO also had the following to say: “Offering the new CS:GO Command Center is an incredible viewer experience and paired with the interactive stats from StatsHelix, Twitch viewers will have the Major completely redefined. We are very excited for CS:GO fans to try the new features.”

The StarLadder Berlin Major 2019 features a $1 million prize pool and began on August 23. The grand finals will take place on September 8.
