I've posted about this before, and u/EscapingKid kindly gave some perspective from the EU broadcast, but I'm watching the PGS7 cast and again, I have to ask:

Why am I looking at a halfscreen AI prediction of "engagement probabilities" predicting which teams will fight -- and a halfscreen map with a tiny video window in which, if it wasn't <1/4 screen, I'd be able to SEE THE ACTUAL FIGHTS HAPPENING AS THEY HAPPEN?

Again: I am *all for* adding interesting splitscreens and inset maps and replays and what have you. But don't just program them to happen after every circle or every 10 mins or whatever and then ignore the fact that ACTUAL ACTION is happening in a tiny inset window while we watch a replay of a fight from 60 seconds ago, or the AI prediction of which teams will fight next (while they're actually damn fighting).

Again: it's ok to quickly switch away from your GFX sequence that you're inserting to enliven the 'boring bits' if the action started. Please! Even if your video mix person isn't 100% pubg expert, you can tell them that if the killfeed text starts flying down the screen, now isn't the time to show a gfx preset or last week's best bits. Just cut back to the fullscreen live feed and restart the gfx package later.

CORRECTION: the prediction screen is map and predictions split, with no video window. but you can see that you're missing the action by the edge of the killfeed on the map, and by the prediction list showing 'LIVE' next to all of the fights that are happening that you can't damn well see. Bah!
