Quoted from Dr-GimpfeN

my idea is valve should autohide the matchserver if the match starts (both teams ready up).
this would be an awesome solution cos you can connect via friends/favourites and its still hidden during match

This sounds like a pretty good idea. Maybe even the server tournament cfg/plugin/thing(help a noob out here) could do that?

Quoted from Spike Himself

There are also plenty of reasons why you would NOT want hide_server on at all. One example is match casters listing the frags.

Wouldn’t the casters already be in the server (or at least STV) and be able to see the scores already?

Scores yes, but not frags – those have been always read from game info window.

then they should count the frags manually ^^
better then a server that crashes/lags
