CS:GO community is not happy with BLAST’s Paris Major RMR HUD

Undoubtedly, BLAST has been one of the best CS:GO tournament organizers since its beginnings in 2017. The features that fans have always praised about BLAST have been the quality of the broadcasts, including casters and commentators, as well as the HUD and its colors.

But BLAST has been trying to give a twist to all their designs in these last few weeks. First, they added some colors and slime to the trophies of the last Major in the CS:GO era. And now, they have completely changed the customary HUD on the RMR streams for the CS:GO Paris Major. As a result, many community members have spoken out against it and are unhappy.

Community not happy with BLAST HUDs

Since the RMRs kicked off last April 6 in Asia-Pacific and a part of Europe, fans have turned against the HUD on the official BLAST streams on Twitch. All these negative comments and dissatisfaction have been observed in the Twitch chat, Reddit, and even Twitter.

The problem that fans allege regarding the new BLAST HUD is that these cover many screen areas. Because of this, it is very complicated for everyone to observe player utilities. Also, due to the font and colors, it isn’t easy to see various important aspects of the games.

The community asks BLAST to go back to the classic HUD

A user on Twitter was a bit calmer about the comments made and asked BLAST to please stick with the classic HUD. Also, the user says that the new HUD does not allow fans to concentrate on the match they are watching fully.

Another comment about it is that the HUD covers the weapon and grenades that players are holding. On the other hand, they also highlight that the bottom bar’s yellow color tends to confuse the players’ HP.

Like these comments, there are hundreds, and many of them are cheering and asking BLAST to return to the old HUD, as most of the community members would favor it. One fan wrote that BLAST should never have changed the HUD, as he doesn’t understand what they wanted to do, and further explains that the colors are strange.

This controversial situation happened on the first day of the RMR for the CS:GO Paris Major. This may give BLAST time to evaluate their chances and decide what to do. But, on the other hand, this does not mean that it will be the HUD they will use in the Major because if the HUD is for the community and the community does not like it at all, it makes no sense whatsoever to use it.
